An Incident and a Few Facts.
To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT;
To show how much the general public
know in regard to the location of
the streams in question for fur
nishing the water supply for our
city, a little incident which oc-
CURED few days since will show. One
of our well known citizens while con-
verSing with a member of our city coun-
Gil asked him what he thought of the
Chestnut hill reservoir as a location for
storage of water for our city supply, and
the answer was given that he thought
well of 1t and when asked where it was
located, answered that he did not know
exactly, but somewhere west of us. I
speak OF this to show how little Is known
of this matter by those who are suppos-
ed to work for the interest of the tax
payers and the public generally. And
here I would suggest that the council
take action in the matter by visiting the
various points suggested, particularly
the Greystone location and the Mad
river one, at the expense of the city.
This in my opinion could be only just
and right as am well satisfied that after
doing this the question of Quassapaug or
Hop brook as locations to be drawn
upon, would never be dreamed of again.
There is moro water at the
north and northeast Of the city, within
4 miles of us, than can be found at any
other point within to 8 miles, and all
or any of it of far better quality. 1 am
strongly in favor of the Greystone loca-
ton as the water is better and there is
more of it, and also there is likely to be
less litigation than from the Mad river
quarters. Then the question arises is
there sufficient fall at this point to give
the required pressure. Yes, by using
| L.. e.. Ill ~ -
there being 1876 feet fall at the New Eng
land depot from Greystone. Then use
the present supply for all the higher
points and then that portion of the
public who own buildings in the higher
part of the city would receive protection
In case of fire, which by the way, they
have not had for many years past and
are not likely to have in the future I'M
less this plan is adopted.
1 do not wish to be understood that I
favor this spot alone, but am aware that
the Mad river of the two is most feasible
and can be procured at great deal less
| expense, but only, that the water of the
former is best of the two, but both or
either are good enough and plenty
| enough in volume.
The matter of a saving of several hun
bred thousand dollars should be taken
| into consideration at all times. Now,
gentlemen of the board of aldermen and
common council, do not be hasty in
this, but look the matter over indepen-
IDENTIFY and do not be advised by any
one, but see and judge for yourselves.
There is one point to which all agree,
and that is that water we need and
water we must have and that soon, but
we do not as citizens, wish to cover our
selves over head and ears in debt by
throwing away money for building dams
for reservoirs where there is no water,
when we can get plenty for, less than
half the amount it is proposed to expend
| and good deal better in quality.
There seems to be 30 much doubt OF
! the supply in the locations suggested by

RECEIVER RICE ALLOW ED So, 800

Settling UP the Accounts of the
Matthews & willard Company.
Judge Fem opened the superior court
here this morning to hear the motion of
+. b. Rice, receiver of the Matthews &
Willard concern, to dissolve the corpo-
ration and approve the sum of 1000
asked by the receiver for services.
Attorney Terry appeared for Mr. Rice
and Attorney Cole for Messrs Davis and
Miller, two of the principal stock
holders. The case was one which
were INDUCED in until Judge Fem in
sisted on a strict adherence to the rules.
Mr. Rice was placed on the stand and
put through a long examination by
Attorney Cole. His testimony was as
follows AS receiver of the company up
to date, through advice of Attorney
Terry, he had paid So per cent of the in
debtedness of the creditors. He had
now per cent more to pay and only
awaited the order of the court. After
everything was paid, including his
salary, there would be balance of S62.
There were few little outstanding bills
which would probably consume the
balance. Comparison was then made
with the amount received for services
by other receivers. The first one re-
ceived 81 500 for seven weeks work.
Mr. Davis received $4,000 for ten
months work and had done moth
ing to benefit the concern
All Mr. Rice asked was 81 900 for IL
months work, and he had paid 80 pei
cent of the indebtedness. Mr. Rice ad,
mitted that he had made private ar
rangement with Messrs Miller and Davis
whereby he was to purchase their stock
and sell the concern and make whatever
profit he could for himself. He also
testified that bonds of $780, 200 were
issued by the corporation and placed
in New York parties hands fol
disposal, but the bonds fell fiat. On thu
matter of book accounts Mr. Rice sale
Mr. Davis offered him so cents on the dol
lar, and he refused to take less than u
cents. Mr. Rice afterwards collected il
Sc, 900 on the accounts and sold the bal
ance for S., 1866. This, he said, angereC
Mr. Davis who wanted the accounts.
Mr. Davis when put on the stand wa
not as prompt in answering question:
and hesitated considerable. He denied
almost in toto Mr. Rice's statements.
Mr. Miller was not strong in his denia
but became excited in his cross exami
nation and said he was the sucker" il
the whole transaction and because h
was connected with Mr. Davis the who'll
town was down on him.
The arguments of the lawyers wer
bitter denunciations of the methods o
the interested parties and legal point
were thrown to the wind at differen
cision 81 emed to think that inasmucl
as the receiver had been working TO
private interests during some of tn
months he was not entitled to the full
amount and he therefore allowed hin
SO, 500.

POLICE COURT.
Some Interesting Cases Before Judge
Bradstreet To-day,

Some Interesting Cases Before Judge
Bradstreet To-Day,
In the police court this morning,
John Graham, charged with vagrancy,
was sentenced to thirty days in jail.
He was arr ested by Officer Thomas for
begging on Bank street last night. Yes
terday morning Graham was given ten
cents by Prosecuting Attorney Burpee,
who warned him that he was violating
the law. A little later he was given his
breakfast by Attorney Donohue.
John Nolan of Pemberton street, was
fined 81 and costs for allowing minors
to loiter in his saloon Thanksgiving day.
1t seems that the gang of toughs who
smashed things in Nolan's saloon while
he was looking for an officer to put
them out were minors. The prosecu-
ton claimed that Nolan allowed the
lads to play a game of cards before try
ing to eject them. This the accused
denied. An appeal was taken.
Thomas Glynn, was arrested yesterday
on the charge of breach of the peace and
afterward released on bonds. He came
down to court this morning to stand
trial, but being under the influence of
liquor was placed under arrest and his
case continued until Monday.
