and that they are coming sooner o
later we firmly believe. Water-work
are in the line improvements neede'
here, and on this account we are fe
them. THE REPUBLICAN, however, ha
always maintained that the question Q
establishing water-works should b.
duly considered and not arrived at to-
hastily. The city has entered upol
considerable work for the present yea
and it may be, as some very goo'
friends of water-works maintain, TIA
we have gone to the extent of our abil
ity in OUTLAWS, and it would be best t
wait until next year. We certainl
ought to see our way perfectly clear
before commencing on water-works t.
the end that we shall not be embar
raised, nor confronted with difficultie
in meeting our running expenses. Per
haps by postponing the matter for
year or so, the citizens might make u
their minds to have the city own it
water-works, which we think woult
be the most satisfactory plan.
