SANTA FE, \. NJ, Aug. l2.-In recent
issues Of Your valuable Journal you en-
deavor to ventilate public grievance
and to draw attention not only to the
shortcomings of the Santa Fe Water com
pany but to the general question OF Il
sufficient water supply for the steady and
certain growth OF our city, and Il supply
reliable at all times for gardens and or.
char1s, which every year are increasing
in extent and, value. Your remarks con-
corning the inadequaCy of the present
water service to present needs, in dry
season like this, can not be gainsaid. The
citizens Of Santa Fe owe to YOU Il debt OF
gratitude for thus publicly drawn Atten-
non to the matter and, further, for thus
publicly directing the attention Of our
county commissioners to he status of the
water company, to It's operations and to
the manner in which it has fulfilled or
proposes to fulfil the obi cations volun-
tarily assumed by itself as condition
