WaterHoriIs in Small Towns.

The urgent demands for such works
are shown by the large number OF
them recently constructed. Over
half the watcrworks in New England
hare been erected within tie last
eight wears, while about so per cent.
Of them have been built within three
years. Nearly all the waterworks of
the smaller western cities and towns
nave been constructed since 1880.
While the earlier works were built
only for large cities and supplied only
n small proportion Of the people with
water, it il very CRAFTY ing to know
that many towns in the West of less
than one thousand inhabitants have
watcrworks. and Il large proportion
Of our people drink pure water.
The cost of constructing water
