 WATER WoRKs.-The Village Council at their meeting last evening adopted the Holly system. The next move will be to make a contract. There seems to be a diversity of opinion with our citizens in regard to the best method of supplying the village with water. To have arrived at the wish of the taxpayers in regard to the matter, different plans could have been submitted and jte taken.
 We are satisfied that the people are not in favor of the Holly system, from the fact that it is too costly, and rather than be bur dened with heavy debt the city govern ment would be abolished. There is no need of being alarmed, however, as the law does not authorize the issuing of bonds by the Council, consequently, if they were to go on and issue illegal paper, 1t would not hurt our town. We call for a vote of the taxpayers as to what system shall be adogted.
