MARTINS FsKnl.

The action taken 10y Council al their Spe-
cial meeting On Tuesday evening Was Tree
u.s. discussed on the streets Yesterday, and
we must SAY was a complete surprise TO the
most of our citizens, Tor they mad no idea
that Council was going 70 take any steps to
ward making proposition 10 Bridgeport
Ito furnish them with water without DO
inc 10 In conjunction with the trustees Of
nm. water works. We do not want the
Council 90 think that we are against them
regards 20 furnishing Bridgeport with
water. and we also think that Martins
Ferry would have been better on If this
question had been decided some time ago.
and that their action will cause these pcO-
pic who have heCn against this move 10 do
something. but we do say That we think
they made "a mistake in the way they
went about il Tuesday evening
The Water Board is better posted
ia regards 10 the price OF water than
anybody else in this city FOR they
know lust how much water was used
in Martins Ferry last wear and how much
money was expended IN pumping this
water. aud 10 would have been better il
this proposition had come from both Coun-
cil and Trustees instead of Council alone,
for there is no doubt but what the Water
Board will he against this proposition and
will only cause further delay in coming
to some agreement.
Al the special meeting of Council Tues
dav evening, Mr. Waters. Councilman
from the Second ward. rendered his resig-
nation. which was accepted. Before 1t was
accented OneOf the COuncilmen moved that
IL be accepted on the condition that Mr.
Waters would never run for the same OF
flee again, which motion he afterwards
withdrew. as the matter was only put IN
shirt of fun. but we would almost bet our
last nickel that Mr. Waters will never
went 10 be Martins Ferry Councilman
again
