1t appears to be an object IN this bor-
ouOh when the water supply gets short to
cut II of with as little notice to consumers
as possible, and when It can be shut of
without any notice at all, Il gives the su-
perintsudent better satisfaction On Non
day last at the Blair House, In the middle
of their getting dinner the Ere had to be
drawn from their range to prevent an ex-
plosion, as the superintendent had settled
on that noment for shutting of the water.
At the SIster's convent one of the pipes
bursted By reason of the water being shut
off without the fires being drawn. This is
not as It should be, but then the borough
fathers have not been celebrsted for the
employment OF any great amouRt OF talent
in the management OF the wster works,
and the people ought to be thSUkful that
It is no worse.
