can not be attacked on these grounds, be.
= cause there is an honest difference of opin-
ion between both Democratic and
Republican members OF Council
: upon the subject, and it is en-
: tirely devoid of all political significance
1t is a fact in the history of this city thai
: so long as the Water-works were managed
. by Committee of Council, so long were
the works we'll managed, and during thai
time not single case of financial crooked
ness occurred among its employees anc
!. Council, the representative of the city, and
upon which rests all responsibility, tinan
cial and otherwise, and which is di
: rectly accountable to the people
y for the prudent management of the works
!. never had any difficulty in ascertainint
the condition of the whole water system
: Now however, it was otherwise. There il
s conflict Of authority between the TIVE
corporations. No person, not even th'
: most radical advocate of the proposed
amendment, doubts the honesty and integ
v rity of the present Commissioners. Tha
: is not the question. 1t is this is the pro
posed change salutary? This is a question
9 that should commend itself to the earnes
: consideration of all our citizens.
