water WORKS movement at Taneytown.

The citizens of Taneytown are considering
the matter OF water supply for the town, and
held meeting on Thursday night. The ad
vantages of an adequate supply Of pure, good
water for domestic purposes and as a security
against disastrous fires, are incalculable, and
need not be stated TO such an intelligent COM
munity as Taneytown. But we would suggest
TO the citizens there that the water oughs he
be supplied by the town and not by prirabe
company The town ought to build and own
the water-works. Experience everywhere
proves the wisdom of it, and while putting in
the plant an electric light plant should be add
ed and operated together. The same power
will suffice for both, and the total cost will
not exceed $4,000. There is a town IN Del
aware, about the size of Taneytown, that built
its own water-works and electric light plant,
and both seem to be complete. The systems
are controlled by commission appointed by
the governor, so as always to secure business
like management Town authorities are not
always competent. because often the best ciii
zens cannot always be induced to serve.
