THE WAFER QUESTION.

As the time for the commencement
aRf actual work on the proposed bor-
sough water works approaches public in
terestin the project is being awakened
and the taxpayers and property owners
are beginning to regard the movement
more seriously than they did when it
was first ipaugurated.
This is healthy sign. The enter
prise has progressed so far now that it
can be no longer regarded as a mere
game of bluff, or as child's play.
Council and the committee necessarily
feel some delicacy in taking the re-
sponsibility of so important an under.
taking without feeling that they are
supported by the sentiment of the
taxpayers aud property owners of the
borough, whom they are supposed to
represent.
The awakening of public sentiment,
however, so far as we have been able
to catch its drift, can scarcely be said
to be in favor of hurriedly prosecuting
Z the work and piling up an immense
debt regardless of consequences. Sc
rious doubts as TO the right of Council
to proceed under the authority OBJ
tained by the vote cast ten years ago,
appear to be now generally enter.
tanned, and the more seriously the
question is regarded the more doubt
there appears to be cast upon the
wisdom of the movement as it is now
being prosecuted.
1t is true that the taxpayers of ten
years ago voted in favor of erecting a
water works at a cost of $45, 900, and
vested the authority in Council to is
sue bonds for that amount, but $45,.
600 will not build the works now pro.
jected. The lowest estimate, we be.
lieve, is double that figure, and con-
servative outside estimates put it as
high as $lso,e0c, or three times the
sum voted for the purpose in 1881.

the status Of case, let us ask ourselves
the question, has Council the mora
right to spend a greater sum on the
project than was voted for the pur'
pose when the vote was taken III
the case were one of absolute necessity
they might feel warranted in assnm-
ing that their action would receive
the endorsement of the taxpayers.
But no such emergency has arisen,
and there seems to be no necessity for
proceeding without full authority, or
without being certain the very best
thing possible is being done.
To us it seems that different and
much more satisfactory conclusion of
the difficulty might be reached by the
exercise of little coed judgment.
The borough does not need two water
works. Two plants will not pay, and
even the borough would have little
use for plant which, instead of being
dividend-earne would be tax-eater.
Hence, If the borough must have a
water works, why not open negotia'
tions with the old Water Company and
see whether or not their plant cannot
be purchased?
If that can be accomplished the
borough will be sure of a plant that
will pay dividends and that will not
be a burden on the taxpayers, and i
Council has not the right to proct &c
under the authority of the vote o
1881, let another vote be taken and the
consent of the taxpayers be obtained
to proceed in the matter.
In any case, first be sure you are
right; then go ahead.

sired either in tone or temper. = Mr.. Har-
rison is less exasperating than Blaiue and
consequently more statesmenlike. He
would not speak so tenderly of recip-

The Standard says: president Har-

devotion to foreign affairs This show.

The President glides with his customary
bland optimism over several matters,
hardly doing credit to American diplo
