Householders in some parts of London
|hye lately suffered very much from the
|SsrCiiy of the water supply. During the
!|Ncent hot weather some of the customers of
l|he Grand Junction Water Works company
Ihsd to 70 without this necessary of life at u
fine Wbea the want Of it was especially Sc
|Idous. The compsny's trunk main burst
some weeks ago and this caused an Interrupt
'Ihon of The supply in houses, the cisters OF
(which had been almost emptied. A deputa-
lion of the sufferers went in their perplexity
Ome time ago to the police court to lay
|IAer grievances before the magistrate and at
|ls suggestion they took out summonses
lgsinst the company for neglectipg to sup
|lpg a proper supply of water.
Now that Amsterdam is directly connected
|lEth oceen traffic by the North sea canal, it
Ii proposed to lay hands on the commerce of
BE Rhine. With this object in view plan
EH recently introduced in the states-general
Id the government, which, however, does
'D meet with universal approval. The prins
.Epal objections are that such canal would
vert much of the west German traffic from
stterdsm, and that the route proposed is
h tortuous. An alternative plan has been
jnduced in the legislature, and is strongly
Exported, which provides for more direct
tmmunicstion between the Rhineland and
Ne Dutch metropolis.
