A Chance for Democratic Assembly,

The probabilities are that Hudson
County will send eleven Democrats to
the Assembly this year, and there is
will control tina body. In either case
there will be a fine nance to make a
good record in connection with the water
question, which is, so to speak, a burn
ing question in this community at pres
ent.
The, members from Hudson should at
the very opening of the session intro
duce a bill providing that these ques-
lions shall be submitted to popular vote
at the next municipal election
1. Shall the city AVE a new water sup
ply or try to get along with the old one?
.. If there is to be a new supply, shall
the city procure it itself as New York
has done in the case of the new Quaker
Dam and the new Aqueduct; or
9. Shall the supply be procured by con-
tract?
4. If there is a contract, h it be for
the construction of works to be imme-
diately purchased as Newark has pur-
chased the ~Pecuannock supply, or shall
it be for the purchase of water by the
million gallons as needed.
We are to elect a new Street and
Water Board in April. Whatever is to
be done. if anything, should be done by
that Board. and the people who vote in
favor of a new supply, will at the same
time be able to pick the men whom they
wish to control the planning of the
works or the formulation of the contract
as the case may be.

The parents take little active part
in christian work, seldom if ever
