BAD FAITH ALL ROUND.

1t is q fact perfectly well known that
prior to four months ago Engineer VIII
liams had assurances from majority of
the members of the city council that they
would support his Cedar River project
with its attachment of blanket debt of
from two to four millions of dollars. This
fact was discussed and given to the public
through this journal and there was at on ce
an indignant protest Almost without ex-
lception our people objected to the scheme.
That it was unnecessary, that il was
inpracticable and that It was
beyond the resources of the city were
points upon which there was universal
agreement. Public opinion found express
sion in an informal way but in tone so
positive that the project was ostensibly
given up. limits stead there was pretense of
adopting the rational plan of continuing the
Lake Washington supply-that is, to create
distributing system upon an extensive
and permanent plan and to supply it for
few years to come, at least, from the lake.
Estimates for this work were secured and
1t was with this idea that the vote for water
bonds was recently effected.
1t has been supposed that the plan thus
approved was being carried out in the right
spirit and in good faith; but 1t seems that
this is not the fact. Four months have
passed, but the business of making new
distributing system has got nofurther than
the advertising for the proposals for the
pipe, delivery of which is to beqin six
months after the letting of the contract
this contract let it be understood being
snll thing of the future.
In short, six months from SEINE
future time not stated we are to beqin to
receive pipe for distribution system.
Thirteen months since the FIRE, and six
months since the plan was virtually
adopted, and still the pipes have not been
ordered. small quantity of pipe, it is
true. has been received, but it is designed
only to lead up to and supply the existing
inadequate distributing system.
In the matter of the pumps there has
been equal bad faith. Instead of ordering
spump of sufficient size TO supply the citv
for the next five years. two little machines
for temporary use have been ordered. These
new pumps with the one already in use will
barely supply present needs. and when they
are in place we shall be only a little better
OF than before. Another summer will find
the city still water.hungry and without the
means for ire protection.
The plain fact is that the leading spir-
its of the city council. conspiring with En-
gineer Williams. are seeking to defeat the
wish of the people. They are delaying,
temporizing and dilly-dallying with the
idea of forcing the gigantic Cedar River
scheme upon as And in the meantime
the city IS in peril. The
disaster of last year is likely 10 be repeated
any day. The insurance companies see
the danger clearly enough, and the more
conservative among them are declining
risks. And now. what is to be doneg
