Moundsyille, town of $500 population,
is 10 have q water works, and why can't
Martins Ferry have them. There is no

there are hundreds of towns half the size
having a good system. Recently boom
was created for the project by several fires.

until it is too late, until the town burns
down, then say we ought to have had water
works.
