OUR WATER SUPPLY.
The Proposed New ReservOir-The
source OF the Present supply.

The action OF the Council in adopting the
resolution Of the Water Works Committee,
authorizing the levy of a special tax to
raise the sum OF one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars for increasing the power Of the
present water works and erecting q new
reservoir, is very generally approved. The
Importance and necessity Of the measure is
acknowledged, and no action proposed by
the present Council has been more
favored. There is, however, in connection
with this matter, another very important,
and, we must say, vital point to be consid-
cred. That il the present source OF our
water supply. Several years ago this qGes-
ton engaged the serious attention OF the
members of Council. Surveys were made va
rious projects discussed, and although there
was not a difference OF opinion in regard
to the great importance Of obtaining purer
supply OF water, nothing definite was done,
aud IL seems as il the subject had been drop
ped. With the proposition TO increase the
power of the water works and erect new
reservoir, this matter now demands the
attention OF the authorities, and should at
once be considered. The evils which ex-
listed several years ago have but been in
creased. The extension of the Central Rail-
road wharves, and the increase of shipping
at that point, render the present
source of our water supply more
undesirable than ever. It is utterly imDos-
sible to obtain pure supply Of water where
there is such daily constant accumulation of
offal and other Impurities, aud the argument
advanced by the MORNING News three years
ago, which was accompanied by map Civ
ing the location of the water works, Mus
grove creek and the line of the projected
extension up the river, have additional
point and power now. It is absolutely
essential that something should be done In
this matter, and whilst arranging for an in
crease of the water supply the authori-
ties should not neglect what is even
more important, so far as the public
health is concerned, the purity of the
water. In a matter of such grave i'm
portance there should be no hesitancv on
saceount Of little expense. II it is neces-
sry to levy q special tax TO perfect the
IA improvements now designed, there would,
W are sure, be no objection upon the part
of our citizens to having the tax increased
to q sufficient per cent to enable
the authorities to extend the mains
ND the river to some desirable point,
where a better and purer supply OF water
may he procured. IL the present Council
includes this work in their proposed i'm
provements they viii confer a boon upon
this community, the value and Importance
of which cannot be overestimated.
We consider iG unnecessary to say more
on the subject. Its importance is so appa-
rent as to require no further argument to
convince our intelligent Aldermen that it is
work that cannot long be neglected with
impunity.

A worthy official who resides in the
country had occasion to remain in the
city on business on Tuesday evening, and
during the night had his nerves pretty badly
shocked. He had purchased two bottles Of
beer for the purpose of sending out to his
house early in the morning, and carried
them to his room, placing them in safe
PLACE on a table at the foot Of his bed
About o'clock in the night he was aroused
from his peaceful slumbers by the loud
report Of an explosion, which caused him
to spring up in bed in tremoT, each par
ticular hair on his caput standing out like
quilts upon the fretful porcupine. The
room was dark, not even a glimmer from a
street lamp lighting up the gloom, and the
worthy official feeling decidedly uncom-
Portable on account of the proximity OF the
report, breatblessly glared around in the vain
endeavor to pierce the darkness and see If
some festive burglar had been using him
for target. His keen ears caught only
the sound of a gurgling noise, which ceased
in few seconds, and, satisfied that he was
in no danger, he dropped back in bed, and
in a short time was once more resting Sc
renely in the arms of Morpheus. Yesterday
morning, on arising, he discovered the cause
of the mysterious report. One of the bot
tlee of beer was lying empty on the table,
the contents formed a little puddle on the
floor, and the cork, which had shot out, was
living in another portion OF the room.
