10 The Editor IA, SgEr:
SIR:-That some very proper informa'
zion has been asked relative to the eXpe1-
diture of larg, sum of public money
upon a high service reservoir seems TO be
illy received and tho occasion of a consid-
erable display Of Sbpse and ill-feeling upon
the part Of some person calling himself
COUNCILMAN.

lies with the other side. and will therefore

ground Of ienonpc. and natural coarseness
Of disposition 7, NAV be stated, how
ever. that the scurrility and enmity Of car
tain people is infinitely moro compliment
ary than their friendship and regard

II remains therefor. to repeat what was
asked before. "Do we need higher water
service at ALP III 40, what Is the best
plarP Do the people want it2 And what
will Il cost with its consequent repairs
and alterationsp And We do net ask an
answer from those whose opinion IL OF no
value, but from those acquainted with
such affairs-from experts, engineers and
mechanics.
