WEATHER ITEMS.

The backbone of winter received
considerable stiffening on Saturday
and Sunday mornings last. There
were no microbes in the air, and the
times were very trying-for coal bins
and thin-blooded persons.
At Lunenburg it was five degrees
lower than has been known there
for II years past.
Word comes from Barnet that a
woodchuck was seen to come out of
his hole last week and linger for half
an hour. And this is argued as a
sign of the near approach of spring.
But mercury had not yet got IN its
last Sunday mornings work.
Several water pipes succumbed to
the pressure, and but for lively work
in pushing furnace fires the plumber 5
harvest would have been even
greater.

issue, unless some significance in
connection with the first, as each of
the Others appears to be based princi-
pally upon efficiency; and it seems to
me that no sane person, familiar
with the conditions, will for a mo-
ment advocate any further outlay
upon our pumping system, which is
now entirely insufficient and will
diminish as time rolls on in spite of
further outlay.
Another feature, and which seems
a vital one to me, as being objection
able to selling the present system to
the Aqueduct Company, is the plac-
ing by the terms of the contract pro-
posed, mortgage or embargo on
the village or any of its citizens from
supplying themselves with water
from any other source, giving the
Aqueduct Company monopoly of
all the water for all purposes. Are
we ready and willing to sell our
birthright in this beautiful village
or a mess of pottage ?"
Again by the terms of the contract
proposed, should the Aqueduct
Company fail to carry out their part
in any essential feature we have to
| give them three months notice, there
by jeopardizing our interests-yea,
our lives, and have no indemnity
from them; and we must bear in mind
that we are dealing with frail human
| nature; we cannot tell what a year
may bring forth, much less thirty.
We may not always have such hon
Orable and magnanimo managers
to deal with as the management
of the present. 1t appears TO me a
mOmentous question and one we are
to decide not only for ourselves but
for those who come after us, and
we ought to be careful that we inn
pose no fatal entailment on the
| present general ton, much more on
our children and those that succeed
US.
Mr.. Ellsworths opinion favoring
municipal control of water works is
not to be lightly estimated in view
for his experience, and it is supported
by all who have had any experience
of any length of time with thorough
ly built systems. So far as the writer
knows, and he is familiar with many,
any argument that a private cor
poration can in a better, business
like manner manage the care of a
system Of water works than a mum
icipality on account of the frequent
changes OF officers in the municipal
ity, seems to the writer to be imagi-
nary. Private corporations are
constantly being subject to change
especially where moneyed interests
figure conspicuously-and we may
bear in mind that with system OF
gravity much less detail of manage
ment is required than where artih-
cial power is required.
Other vital points might be cited
but l forbear as am burdening you
with much more than l intended It
the start.
