attention among the people in the vicinity

concerned in the case, are so we'll and favor.

past ten days there have been four infanti-

S0UTHSIDE WATER.
The Question Exciting Some Comment on
That Side of the River-Ihe People
Afraid to Drink Monongahela Water
SOme Chance Snon NaceSSarv

Afraid to Drink Monongahela Water
Some Change Soon Necessary.
The water question is being discussed as
actively on the Southsideas in other parts
of the city. All seem to feel the need OF
some change in the present system of water
works, but what that change should be is
not fully comprehended by the people. The
Southside can hardly be said to be afflicted
with a water famine, as there is apparently
plenty of water, but it is of such a quality
as to be unfit for domestic purposes. One
fact is evident, that there are many South
siders who never drink the water supplied
by the Monongahela Water Company.
"We never hear complaints about water
until there is a fire." said Prothonotary
John Bradley last night Just at present
there is a good supply, but of what quality
i wouldn't like to say. But when there is
any demand for water there is great noise
about 1T. This is proof that some change
discussed SO that when IA move is made no
mistake could be made. The Indian creek
plan seems TO be good one, though. have
given the subject little thought. We must
have some scheme to supply the city with
water and she would do well to stir herself
and get ready in time"
ID. j. McGarey said: "The water system
OF the Southside is in terrible condition.
In fact, it is bad in both Pittsburg and Ale
Sheny, yet believe we are rather better off
than either of them. l haven't drank a
glass of Southside water for years nor
does any of my family. know
q number of families that will not touch it.
1t is a matter of u short time till some plan
must be adopted to remedy this. We get
our water from the Monongahela, and now
have most to fear from Homestead. Nc
keesport is too far away to do US much
damage, but the river Will soon be lined
with one continuous town and then look
out. The Indian creek plan is the best L
have seen YETI
There is little complaint being made on
the S0uthside as TO sickness. Many claim
they have fewer sick people than any part
of the city. The water supply has been
about equal to the demand Tor some time,
but the people have been sparing in its use.
A general desire is expressed to have the
water improved and that as soon as practic-
able.

The Central Traction Company yesterday
began to run the trolley cars of the Center

reason it was delayed until yesterday. The

ing to run all-night cars by their new electric
system. The night cars will run every half
hour the same as the DuQuesne, but will not
go below Grant street.
