and the emergency which the impure water has
caused again
satisfactory, and the characteristic color
and taste of the liquid although at pres
ent much improved. may at any time re-
appear and cause no less annoyance than
before. The only solution to this problem of a
means to supply better water seems to be simply
this, that the New Haven Water company be IN
duced to continue its mains through Washington
street to West river. From here the work could
be continued through the village and to the
shore by the West Haven Water company. The
work, we are told, could be completed in
about two months, and the total expense
would probably be in the neighborhood
of twenty-fiv thousand dollars. President
Phipps of the West Haven Water company told
a Journal representative that the Village com
pany was ready at any time to assume its part of
the expense and to begin the work at once.
President Dawson of the New Haven Water
company is likewise DESTROYS of improving the
water supply, and assured a journal representa-
tive that any proposition made, if reasonable,
would be accepted The journal hopes soon to
bring about a change that will be most agreeable
to shore and village residents.
