the supply shall exceed the demand
for water in the city. We will main
tain all OF tho waterworks and canals
in good order and repair, and will
furnish waller to the citizens Al a price
not exceeding the present rates for
water. This offer, il accepted, will
secure to the citizens an ample supply
of pure water without using the tax
receipts and without increasing the
personal wafer rents. II will result in
the laying Of all new pipes aud mains
needed without expense TO the abutting
property owners, and it will immedi-
aiely place in the treasury Of the city
a large sum Of money which can be
expended on needful municipal i'm
provements.
