Water

Tho continued drouth is oxhausting
cistcrns and testing tho capacity of
wells. tits to be hoped our citizens will
libcrally patronlze the water works, as
there are reasons prevailing now which
were never operative before. In the
first place the character Of the water it.
self since the City park discovery, is
Infinitely superior TO what II over has
boon. Not particle OF river water is
required for domestic purposes, and the
supply, coming as II does through the
graVclly filiations, is equal to the purost
cistoru water. When the orii inai stock
company sold out to the city il WAS at
the urgent solicitation of tho citizens
themselves, and now that the corpora
ton is in full control, they should vim
dictate the wisdom of tho purchase In
addition To this consideration, IL NAV be
added that there are $4,000 In bonds OF
the city, voted for and signed, but not
to bo used unless absolutely required
for water distribution. A reasonable
patronage even, will prevent the necos-
slty for their sale, and may lead TO their
cancellation
