The address delivered in your city

you for publication. l have no notes
of my address, and 1t covered such a
variety of subjects that have but a
very faint recollection of even the
substance of the address. Of course
the most patent reasons that anyone
can adduce for advocating system
of water works for your city can be
briefly summed up:
First:-The character of your soil
is such that your public wells, or
most of them, must be cess.pools Of
disease, endangering the health of
the young and the aged who
drink from them; therefore public
water supply, in sanitary sense, is
well nigh public necessity. When
we consider the various uses to which
water can be applied from public
source for irrigating, sprinkling and
culinary uses the most skeptical must.
admit that its use will materially add
to the healthfulness and cleanliness of
the city.
Second:---Next, and / might say a
primary one, one of good and suf-
ficient water supply would be to pro-
tect the property OF the taxpayers
from the devastation caused by fire.
