The rapid spread Of electric railroads puts

beneath the surface That Is the teaching OF
common sense and the requirement Tor common
safetv II is to, late to deal with this subject IN
q radical way; but 1t is not too late to deal with
,ho question whether electric roads shall cross
s,eam roads at grade. Now is precisely the time
to deal with IT, and 1t ought to be se'''ea III e'e.y
state The cheapness OF electric traction Is 'ne
roasor wbv II is so largely used. Most electric
comnanies secure the right 20 use highways OF
s,roets at small cost Hence there Is little haFu-

roads at grade. Some accidents have aireaos
occurred from trolley cars getting III i'o". W
locomotives. Before the list is heightened steps
should be taken generally to render coS'o'
on account of grade crossings Impossible.

WATER GETTING SCARCE.

Circular.

Tho Company Is Obliged to Issue
Circular.
Although the want of water has new
er been felt in Carbonate. we are
likely to appreciate it more and value
1t more highly during the winter if we
do not economize now. This scarcity
of water has at last forced the Crystal
Lake Water company to try and have
people be more economical in the use
of the water. To this purpose they
have issued O circular for presentation
to their customers, and would be great
ly obliged If the public would try and
obey it. The,circular reads as fallows:
ION account of the extremely dry
weather our water supply is becOm-
ing quite limited, and 1t is necessary
that the strictest economy in the use
Of water be observed. All leaks must
be stopped and under no circumstances
must water be left running when not
in use. Any persons refusing to COM
ply with this request will be liable to
have their supply cut off entirely Even
with a change in the weather these re-
strictions will remain the same, as it
will take a long time to have our sup
ply reservoir filled. Attention Is called
to the fact that faucets are often left
running in cold weather to prevent
freezing but for this winter, at least,
the pipes must be protected and water
must not be left running at night.
