The editor OF our cOtempOrary seems
to intimate that should he receive a con-
tractto run that windmill that he could
furnish the fOere and still have wind
enough left to give us an occasional
blast. One serious objection to the plan,
however, has been suggested and that is,
that the source of the power would be so
extremely filthy as to raise fear that it
might cOntaminate the water and hence
deter many from patrOnizing the works
for water for domestic purposes and
thus reduce the income greatly. We
admit there is considerable force in the
objection and fear water power will
have to be adopted as the cheapest.
