ator Blaine's pondcrous and windy letter
in defense of the anti Chinese bill with a
very sharp pen. He says that Blaine, as
the climax of his speech. and also of Ii
assurance, declares: I'VE have this day
to choose whether we will have for the Pa
cifc coast the civilization of Christ or the

the gospel to follow as the rule of life in
all our dealings with our fellowmen. and

In view of the discussion upon the sub
ject of water supply for the city, Mayor
Reynolds submits the following suggestions
and correspondence;
Rock ISLAND, Ill.,, March 6, 1873
To the Taxpayers of the City of Rock Island:
There has been a good deal said on the
water works question the past winter. and
in view of this fact | wish to call your
attention to the subject SO that you can dis
cuss the whole matter.
lst. Shall we remove the water works,
and where and when2
End. Shall we have new works and how
larger
3rd. Must there be reservoir con-
nected Herewith?
4th. How shall we pay for them?
LIST. The removal will be necessary to
some point, and there are three talked Of;
one is Rock river, one is above Moline and
one is at the foot of Madison street or
Arsenal street, with pipes running out into
good, deep water.
End. We shall have to reconstruct our
works in five or six years, as the capacity
of our present works will not then be able
TO push all the water we need; and in view
of the necessity, | have had some cores
pondence upon the subject with MIR. Cusb-
ing, of the Holly water works, and
refer you to his letter annexed.
3d. AS to reservoir, one can be con-
structed at either point named which will
give us clear water.
4th. Now is the most important time to
consider the whole matter. You are aware
that we have gone into debt all the law
allows US, and this is the hardest to get
over.
| Now, fellow citizens, | have presented
| the whole features of the subject and
would most respectfully ask you to discuss
| this matter among yourselves, and if you
think best cali public meeting for the
purpose of discussions; and if thought best
to appoint committee to meet a commit.
tee of the common council and confer with
them in regard TO the whole matter. L
is for the taxpayers TO discuss this ques
| ton, as they own the whole property 8nC
| they must take the matter in hand
