A LAME APOLOGY.

The answer of the council commit
tee on fire and water to the reso-
lutions of the Chamber of Commerce
is an ingenious and interesting docu-
ment, but it fails utterly in the essen
tial thing. namely, to excuse the extraor-
binary and hazardous delay in providing
the city with the means of fighting fire.
No amount of artful argument can over
come the shameful fact that at this time.
thirteen months after the great fire. the city
is without an adequate supply of ~ater--is
in fact in condition more helpless than at
any former time in its history. There
were, 1t is true. financial difficulties, but If
the council had done its part they could
have been overcome. There has not been
a time since the fire when, if the council
had asked it, the leading capitalists
of the city would not have stood
in guaranty for any reasonable expense to
provide the city with water. The delay
members of the council have become we'd
ded to gigantic and impracticable project
of water supply and that they have been
unwilling, in response to the public de-
mand, to drop this project and take up a
rational and less costly one. Looking to the
impracticable project they have neglected
to do what could have been done easily.
A special grievance against the council is
that having formally adopted the Lake
Washington project in response to an over
whelming public sentiment il has failed to
