The Trenton State Gazette furnishes us
with local news, as follows " Lambertville,
It is learned, will not succeed in its effort to
construct watcr-works. At the last meeting
of the company there was slim attendance
and no enthusiasm Week before last we
quoted from its columns an utterly false piece
of news respecting this city, and the above is
about as untrue. Our Water Works Com
pany IS fully organized, two lots of land have
been purchased OF Mr.. Amds s. Wilson, on
the Hill east of this city, for reservoir, and
surveys are now being made. This does not
look much like a failure. Wouldn't it be
about as we'll for the Gazette to get its Lam
bertvile news from the papers published here
Instead of accepting idle ramors as its au-
thority.
