THE WATER QuEsT1oN.-The plan for

IHE WATER " UESIlON.- uo PAe'n AoA
the distribution of the city water suggest
ed by City Engineer, Allen, was adopted
by the Council, Tuesday night. 1t in
cludes six inch pipe for Frederick, Church,
johnson and Beverly streets, Il men
pipe on Augusta street down to Beverly,
and three inch pipe on Market, Prospect
Lewis and other streets. The contractors
for the Water Works appeared before the
Council through Capt. James Bumgard-
ner, Jr., their counsel, with regard to The
withheld payments on their contracts.
From the presentation Of the case by Capt.
Bumgardner, and by Mr.. J. B. Evans for
the water committee, it appeared that one
point in controversy is that the committee
claim that the contractors shall guarantee
the work for twelve months after compile
ton, as the Messrs. Hambleton agreed to
do, while the contractors claim that their
contract only requires them to execute the
plans in workmanlike manner, and that
if the plans are defective the responsibility
does not fall on them another point IS,
that the contractors and engineer differ as
to the extent to which the, directions OF
the latter are to be followed by the former,
and as to how far his authority may go IN
deciding obscure points in the plans and
specifications. The matter was ended
Tuesday night by the Council backing the
water committee, and passing a resolution
authorizing the delivery OF the withheld
payments when the committee shall au-
thorize it, In the notice of the Water
Works trouble published last week, it
would have been more fully stated had we
said that the applications for aid made to
the Messrs. Hambleton, of Baltimore, and
Engineer Cutshaw, Of Richmond, were
made by the contractors and not by the
water committee.

churches of the city, who have gathered
here to express their concern in the success
of the work in which I myself am so deep

sure is nothing less. We would be I'M
grateful, indeed, did we not welcome you
all to witness these solemn and interesting
services, for many out of all the churches
have not only bid us God-speed and wished
us well, but have given more tangible
evidence Of their desire for our prosperity.
and thus have inspired us with courage to
meet and to triumph over every difficulty
To this I shall refer at greater length on
