FRUIT HILL RESERVOIR.
Not in Use Mt Present-Leaks Again in
the Northeast Corner

Not in Use ut Present-Leaixs Again in
the Northeast Corner
Fruit Hill reservoir has not been in use
since Sunday last and the water has been
drawn and leaked out till il is now quite
low. Holes have been again discovered
in the northeast corner. where the trouble
existed before. Tide amount of leakage
is estimated at 100000 gallons per day
at present. which is nearly 100000 gallons
more than when the report OF the City
Engineer was made in June.
There is no doubt that previous to the
repairs on the reservoir the leakage was
more than 100000 gallons per day. SO
that the repairs did some good. The rea-
son for this great leakage, which is about
one-sixteenth of the total consumption of
the city, is that there is an immense ledge
under the reservoir and there are great
seams in the rock through which the
water runs and comes out no one knows
where. Commissioner Of Public Works
Smith and City Engineer Sheed have been
out to look az the reservoir together. and
yesterday gang of men was at work
plugging up the holes which have already
shown themselves.
An exaggerated idea of the size of the
holes through which the water escapes is
likely to be gained from the quantity OF
water. Ii is somewhat surprising there
fore to learn that with the reservoir full
and the consequent pressure, which is
about thirty pounds TO the square foot,
hole four inches IN diameter will admit
of the passage OF about $1,000 gallons per
day.
Commissioner Smith says that the only
way to remedy the trouble without
large expense is To stop the holes as fast
as they appear as the water is drawn
down Tins is being done at very small
expense aud the holes which have been
found practically sealed up. Ii proper
was built TO discover the seams in the
ledge the reservoir might have been
made practically tight. II is impossible
te avoid "a leakage of about $1,000 gallons
in a reservoir of this size.

The FINANCIAL NEWS.
Market Notes.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s BANKERS who have
looked into the markets are confident
that we will draw no gold from Europe
this year, and think the exports OF gold
will begin in January.
IL is rumored that the new owners OF
New England propose reorganization oi
the indebtedness
The new Reading move is considered in
the coal trade very important, on account
Of the new trade To be obtained.
Northern Pacific made profit. OF $os,
00l on the st. Paul aud Northern line last
year The lease has been profitable.
Chicago gas is expected TO earn 9 per
cent this year and III per cent next year.
People who saw President Mcleod yes
terday found him very hopeful in regard
for the future of New England.
London prices are much higher than
yesterdays close.
A Chicago special says: Linseed oil
people say they will not exchange that
stock for Lead Common, share for share,
Tor the reason that the former is worth
much more than Lead.
A member of a leading commission
house says: The advances in the leading
specula i've stocks have been great
enough TO justify pretty sharp reaction.
IL Will shake out the weak held stock and
give the public chance To see the
strength of the buying power. IL the
leaders prove themselves capable TO sus-
tain the market in the face of n sharp re-
action it will invite fresh confidence
likely to lead later on to increased specu-
lation and wider market
In spite Of the fact that London prices
were higher than ours there is no buy
ing here for foreign account
The market opened strong but without
any boom, even in the stocks quoted
materially higher In London. Erie was
affected most, opening up 9s, Reading q,

FOR THE NEW STATE HOUSE.
Taxpayers and Registry Voters Are
Alike Qualified to Vote.

Regarding the state loan for new state
house, which will be voted on at the elec.
tion Nov. s, the question has arisen as to
whether the registry voters are qualified
to vote on a matter which involves the
expenditure of so large an amount OF
money, some persons, and they are
mostly residents of Newport and vicinity,
claim that taxpayers alone are qualified
10 vote on this question. In PROVIDENCE,
IL Is true, the registry voters cannot vote
for councilmen and aldermen, and the
question OF taxation enters into IL. But
in Pawtucket and other cities and towns
the city council or town council Is elected
by all the voters, taxpayers and registry
voters alike.
The fact that the building OF new
state house does not necessarily mean the
raising of the tax rate in any single town
answers at once the question concerning
the qualifications OF the voters OF the
State egarding the loan.
The constitution of the State of RHODE
ISLAND is explicit enough on this matter.
Article 4. section l3, reads as follows:
"Ihe General Assembly shall have no
power hereafter without the express con-
sent Of the people TO incur the State debts
to an amount exceeding $50, 900, except
in time of war or i'm case OF insurrection
or invasion; nor shall they in any case
pledge the faith OF the state Tor the pay
ment of the obligations of Others.
Also section / of chapter 1898 OF the
Public Laws, passed at the January ses-
sison OF tie General Assembly, 1892, dis
lnctly says thai the proposition TO build
a new state house shall be submitted To
the people. The word people" as used
in tue Public Laws always means all the
qualified cleo ors of the state. There is
no reason for any of the registry voters to
fear that they will not be allowed TO vote
for the new state house which is so much
needed.
