The Report of the Water Committee.

We print elsewhere in this issue the report
of the committee appointed by the city gov
eminent to consider the question of a water
supply for Belfast, with the proposition rec
commended by them for acceptance. Both
documents should have careful reading from
all who are interested in the welfare Of the
city. The question as to the need for a water
supply has become a thing of the past The
need is now generally admitted, and it only re-
manned to consider how the best system could
be secured at the least possible expense, and
this has been the line of the committees invcs-
LEGATIONS. They have given great deal of
time and labor to the matter, more. indeed, than
could reasonably have been expected, and are
certainly entitled to thanks for their industry
and zeal.
As stated elsewhere the question of water
or no water is to be voted upon by the citizens
of Belfast OH Tuesday next, Oct. Goth, and
certainly every one must now be sufficiently
Informed to vote Understandings. The lesson
of the PASSPORT fire ought not to be lost. The
story of that disaster as told in the newspapers
carries a warming to all places which remain
unprotected from similar visitations.
Security to life and property, the promotion
Of health and comfort, and a reduction in the
present high rates of insurance, would be gain
ed by the introduction of water. Once intro
duced every one will wonder why it was not
done years ago. The extra insurance paid
since this question was first agitated would no
doubt pay for an ample water system for Bel
fast, to say nothing of the expense and dis
comfort experienced from failing wells and
ci>terns and dusty streets. The Journal votes
will also vote YES.

A Warning that was not Needed.

Two or three weeks ago the Standard had
an article calling attention to the great danger
from fire and the want of fire apparatus. The
editor, Frank McGraw, was generally con-
demned for it, because it raised insurance rates.
The Standard warned the people that unless
they purchased a steam engine fire in the sar-
dine factory would sweep the town. The Sen
tinel took the other side of the question: that
the town was well provided with facilities
to fight the fire. Most people agreed with the
Sentinel; to-day they admit that the Standard
was right. PASSPORT despatch.
This is practically repetition of what has
been said here. The Prog. Age not long since
charged that the Journal had caused an in
crease of insurance rates in Belfast by its con-
slant efforts in behalf Of water supply. This
charge was of course absurd as well as ground
less. Insurance rates are regulated by the
risks incurred and where there is no adequate
protection against fire, rates are necessarily
high. 1t appears now that unless something is
done in Belfast we shall have to pay even high
er rates than at present. An insurance man
who is investigating the losses at EaStport says
that the New England Fire Association has de-
cided to double its rates throughout Maine
wherever towns and cities have no adequate
NhtcI Suppi.' His IL - tllouSliL Hiunt pioNo
stimulus for the introduction of water sup
plies. Many Maine towns have moved in this
direction in the past few years, and Others
which have been agitatng the question are
likely now to decide it in the affirmative. An.
other result of the Eastport fire has been to
disclose the fact that insurance has been placed
in companies without financial standing, and
the losses in this way will aggregate quite an
amount. The high rates caused property own
ers to seek insurance wherever they could get
it without inquiry as to the standing of the COM
panics insuring

COMPULSORY Pilotage.

Capt. Kane has favored us with Il second
letter on this question, which will be found on
the first page. The following from the pro
ceedngs of the recent meeting of the Vessel
Owners and Captains National Association is
of interest in this connection:
A motion of Mr.. Thomas of Taunton pro-
vided for the appointment of Il committee who
shall consider the question of the abolition of
compulsory pilotage. 1t was stated that over
$4,000 is annually paid in Virginia for com
pulsory pilotage. and the system is virtually
longer allowed. and this association can in one
or two years knock out the system which
hasn't lee to stand on except the strength Of
the pilots themselves. A motion to refer tC
the coastwise commission was lost and 1 com.
mttee of Is with the president of the assoca-
ton as chairman was appointed with the under
standing that five shall constitute quorum fol
the transaction of business.

ly without the loss of life, two villages in the

submerged in Il storm on the 18th inst, two
days before the PASSPORT calamity. At Sabine

the bay and all We're drowned. Two days latel
l21 persons We're reported missing and are
supposed to be drowned The bodies of only
tWcnty-four had then been recovered. In some
instances families gained the roofs of then
floating dwellings only to be washed off and
drowned one by one. There were many heart.
rending incidents. Tuesday morning John
