TIE yETTowE WATER WORKS

 'It wns rumorrd upon the Street lasl week that the Newtown water works en llerprisr had hren abandoned for the wHnl oi support trDm those whom il was ex .peeleh lhal sqppprt would come While ii is true lhai pothing additional has been dype hy indlyiduals coming for, wnnl and taking Slnck. yeI lis not true thal tine ploj, ct has been abandoned. ''.tuce ihe water meeting, and in order to satisfy all objections, and to prove that ,licre iss,s sGflieieney oi water, asprihg of living water hus been opened on he land selected upon which to build the reservoir, and this settles the question ul supply sTos those who have said that they would suiecFihe torlhe stock If il could be shown them that there was Wa ter, we take the liberty of advising that they go anu See for themselves Aipri. lvate letter from Mr. Hull to a gentleman in town again assures the parties inter- .esled that tlers is plenty of water to be had. A little common-sense reasoning should. convince every one that Mir Hull ,wunld uot hazard his reputation as an experienced civil engineer, by repeating time and again that he knows that there is plenty of water to be had to supply .Newtown Streeti@ith, when there was d ghost of chance in being proved wrong in his calculations and estimates. Again, what earthly motive can the man have in making these statements if there is no foundation for them?
 As the matter now stands the success ,of this movement lies with few who have said that if they knew for a cer- itainly that there was water, they would take hold and do all that they could. They acknowledge the necessity of these works, and there is no questioning of the fact that if lhs needed improvement dies tout, it will not be the fault of those who originated and brought the subject be- fore the people, but it will be chargea- blei to those who, knowing that it could be made a success, refused to assist.
 We publish under this heading letter from Marcus c. Hawley, which needs no comment further than to say that it is a noble one, and the offer that he makes should set at rest all fears, and those able and willing to carry out this enter prise ought not to delay in raising the re- inaining twenty-five hundred dollars. This offer of Mir. Hawley is another proof that there is no risk and that those who do subscribe are safe from any loss, resulting from an insufficient supply of water. Mir. Hawley gives certain num- Der of days in which his offer holds good, and we hope that there will be an- other. meeting called before the time named expires. There are several ladies that are owners of valuable property.in this village, and doubtless some. of them would subscribe. At any rate it is a worthy object and it should not be per mitied to fail. If the offer which Mir Hawley makes meets with nc response, we fear that the golden opportunity will never Represented again.
 Read the following from MT. Hawley and then act wisely
 VIEWPOINT, Oct. 5, 1877.
 Editor cf tue Bee: ..ss..#a. '
 DEAR SIR:--Your lengthy report of ! the water meeting, given in your last issue, should have the effect of at once : Cruising the stock of the Nevtown Wa tier Co. to be taken up; but from remarks that, have been made l am led to believe that from various reasons the same is likely to fall'through. Now, earnestly , desiring different result, feeling that :Newtown cannot afford to let this pro- jiect drop, and hoping to inspire more confidence among our citizens, I hereby agree that if the subscription of five hun tdred shares can be made up within if f. teen days from the date of this article, I will take one-htlf of the stock $e,50O), said stock to be all paid in cash before any work is done. Unless this propo- ssition is accepted shall withdraw from further effort in this direction. 43a
