Again we must express our indignation
against the highly unjust management of
the city's water, in Withholding the supply

man and beasts. The cost of establishing
fountains and supplying them would be
nominal to the city, All agree that the
enterprise is grand one, and the manner
In which our citizens have responded en-
sures large profits and great benefits to the
health of our city. Yet wouldn't it be bet
ter to allow those who haven't means, as
well as the rich, to be allowed taste of
the water. Open your hearts, city fathers
We only express the sentiment of the mass
OF voters upon this matter.
