The street sprinkler was ready on Water
street yesterday morning to sprinkle the
streets, but could not get water from the
Augusta Water Co., the company refusing to
let the water on until a contract for year
was made, which could not be effected without
calling special meeting of the city govern
ment. The Mayor had ordered the water the
day before. After seeing Mr.. Vose of the
Water Co, he made temporary arrangement
TO have water, not being able to get it else
where in sufficient quantity without large
expense. We understand that some perma-
nent supply of water will be arranged for
very soon, either from the Augusta Water Co.
or elsewhere.
