Water Supply.

N. Huckins g. Co. have completed the
dam and excavation which is TO make q
miniature lake and furnish water for the
w. & L. E. r. r. 1t is irregular in shape,
covering about three acres. The water
viii stand about ten feet in depth at
the lowest point. A trench has been dug
from the deepest portion near the north
end south to the railroad, so as to allow
the company to entirely drain the lake
if IT should become necessary in order to
supply its engines with water. The lake
has a small island and peninsula, which,
with the irregularity of the shore line will
give very picturesque appearance
The top of the dam is finished for road
way, 10 feet in width. The propretors
contemplate furnishing water, if it should
be demanded, for manufacturing and fire
purposes. This could be accomplished by
laying three inch pipe from the reservoir
to large cistern in the central part of the
village, with which connection could be
made by smaller pipes, with boilers and
cisterns in different parts of the village.
This would solve the water question for
Wellington, for everything but house
hold purposes. Such connection being
made with three hundred barrel cistern
in the business part of the town, we should
be far on the way towards Holley system
of water works A stationary steam pump,
and pipes laid to the more thickly set
tied portions of the village, and the thing
is done And this is not so far beyond our
reach by reason of cost as to be entirely a
visionary scheme. The whole cost need not
exceed So 900, and there is no doubt but
that it will be accomplished within
the next ten, and possibly within the next
five, years. As an investment, we are not
sure but. it would pay good interest on
the cost of building and maintaining, and
certainly, as conducive to the increase of
value of real estate and the growth of the
village mo equal amount ofmoney could be
invested which would promise to bring
larger returns. But perhaps better
plan would be to bring the water from
c. w. Horr's pond, south of town, as
that is ON higher ground and is capable
| of furnishing larger supply. We think
something of this kind would be taken
hold of by our business men with enthusi
asm, and we hope the subject will be can
vassed till it shall reach practical soln
tion.

We congratulate the New London Rec
ord that it has had the grace and patience
to bear the dishonorable treatment it has
received from its adversary, the Tn County

creating an impression that its charges for

until the News has dug its own grave and
quietly tumbled into it We think that
business men will, hereafter, be slow TO IN

change characterises as a" long felt want," }"

than cost, but who gets even with his pa

Such schemes do temporary injury, but
their end is certain self-destruction.
