Water WOrks-Yes or No.

Monday next is the day appointed by
the Common Council for holding the
special election, for the purpose Of vot-
ing on the proposition for the city to
purchase the water works; and it seems
to us that it would be n judicious and
wise move on the part of the people to
vote in favor of the purchase. If it is
paying investment for a corporation
or company to own and run the works,
it surely cannot be otherwise with the
city. The amount the city is now COM
PEELED to pay annually for water for
fire purposes alone, would pay for the
works in less than eleven years, to say
nothing about the rents received for
the use of water for domestic purposes,
and when we take the latter into con-
sideration, we are inclined to the belief
that in fifteen years the city would be
the gamer by from $4,000 to $4,000,
besides owning the works.
1t must be taken into consideration
that the works will soon have to be eX-
tended in order to reach the whole of
the city, and the amount asked for by
the Council, $4,000, will buy the
works and make the necessary extern
sions. When these extensions are
made, the revenue from private parties
for water for domestic purposes will be

Thursday evening last the express
team of Johnrowe IL Donnelly, While
in front of their store, became frighten-
ed, and dashed up Second street ut full
speed. For few minutes there was
considerable excitement, and shouts of
"Whoa," were fired at the runaways,
while some men ran into the street and
tried to stop the team. The horses,
however, were not in a stopping mood,
and as the persons who shouted forgot
to say "Whoa, Emma" their yells
had no effect, and at two something
gait, the team ran until they came to
Hitchcock street, when, in trying to
turn out of Second street, the horses
slipped OIL the crosswalk, then got on
to piece Of ice, and finally hove to in
the gutter-a tree in front of III. ID.
Churchill's residence answering admi-
rably as snubbing post. BY this
time there was considerable number
of persons running along the side
walks towards the place where the team
had come to--the foot race being free
to all and no entrance money. When
the horses had been picked up, they
were, to all appearances, uninjured,

at must be admitted" says the Bay
City Tribune, 'that Bay City is back
ward about pushing into railroad en-
terprises, but she is not pushed to the
work as is East Saginaw. To the lat
ter it is matter of necessity. There
are three schemes in which we would
like to sec more interest taken here. a
narrow guage road to Midland and be-
yond. A narrow guage to Caro-, Cass
City and Bad Axe, or other points in
Huron county, and the Alpena Shore
railroad. When spring opens some
thing will doubtless be done regarding
the latter, for we are not convinced
that the route of the road is fully de
termined." Going to try and stir W
the sleepy Bay City men, are you

hands. You tried it once before, ant

S. S. Lewenberg, the jeweler, is max
ing preparations for the removal of his
stock of watches, clocks, jewelry, etc,
to the store with u. M. Knight, in the
Opera House block, intending to re-
move about the LIST of April next. Mr..
Lewenberg has purchased the largest
stock of goods in his line ever put into
any establishment on the shore, and
when he is located at his new quarters
he will be prepared to suit any and all.
He has purchased large and mag
niicent chronometer, which he will
place in the window of his store, where
it will be most convenient to all pass
ers-by. Mr.. Lewenberg is an energetic,
faithful and skilled workman, and we
bespeak for him large run of trade
in his new establishment, which will be
one-half of the store now occupied by
Mr.. Knight, while the latter gentleman
will still continue to hold forth on the
other side Of the house.

greatly increased and if the city fails
TO purchase the works, the amount that
we shall have to pay the company for
water for fire purposes will be much
larger than it is at present, for the rea-
son that we shall have to pay an addi-
tional amount for each hydrant hereaf-
ter erected
Therefore, taking all things into con-
sideration, it would seem most reason
able that the city ought to and should
own and control the water works, and
we hope on Monday next to see
that the citizens will give large ma
jority in favor of the purchase.

The Pressure Isle Advance says that
surveyors have been examining that
county in regard to a railroad that is
to be built from Alpena to Cheboygan
the-let's see, what is it? Oh, yes, We
remember-the Metropolis" This
road will prove hard one to the rail
way official who has to call out the
names of the stations, and then just
imagine the shock That will be inflicted
ON nervous people as the brakeman
shouts out: "Kynlzoskosphski station,
change cars for Czynoboski," and if
that don't give the brakeman the lock-
jaw, il will be because he's calamity
proof.
The Rip Van Wrinkle character of
Bay City is getting probed considerably
and the third city will yet discover
that she has slept too long. The De
troit Free Press remarks that "Bay
City, with great natural advantages,
sits still and lets East Saginaw gather
in the railroads from all directions. 1t
is a question now whether census, to-
day, would not take from Bay City the
proud title of third city, etc. Those
Bay City capitalists and business men
may wake up too late" When they
do wake up, they will probably find
out that Saginaw has gathered in the
Shore railroad.
