A Boom for Belfast,

The vote of this city Tuesday in favor of an
abundant water supply is most gratifying to all
who have the interests Of Belfast at heart. 1t
marks the dawn of a new era, and gives prom
Use Of increased prosperity in the near future.
As to the need of a wafer supply for fire pur-
poses no further argument is necessary. The
sanitary need has not had so much considera-
ton. but the protection of life should not be
secondary to the protection of property With
living water flowing through our streets to
take the place for domestic purposes of the I'M
pure article drawn from wells, and to lay the
dust which in the summer months is both dis
agreeable and injurious to health. the sanitary
condition of our city must be greatly mproy-
ed, and with its natural attractions Belfast will
become desirable place of residence and es-
pecially SO to persons of leisure and moderate
means. And to this end the reduction of taxes
and increase of train facilities during the pres
ent Year must materially contribute. Before
another year closes public library, supported
by an ample fund.- the requests of citizens who
must ever be held in grateful remembrance for
their noble gift, will be established, and add
another attraction to the place.
That the introduction of water will be fol-
lowed by new enterprises there can be no
doubt. We understand that the vote Tuesday
practically ensures the erection the coming
season of a first class hotel; and this, with the
labor to be employed and money expended on
the water works, the custom house extension
and the library building Will make the coming
year busy and prosperous one for all our
people. With the assurance the city govern
ment now has of popular support no time
should be lost in closing contract. The sup
ply of water must be ample and it must be fur
nishel at reasonable rates. Nothing less will
be satisfactory to the citizens. We believe,
however, that the city authorities know their
duty in the matter and will perform it faithful
y and with due regard for the interests of all
concerned
