1t strikes THE ISLANDER that it is
about time that the merchants and
in the vicinity of the clown
Pump" were taking up collection for
the purpose of repairing the old one or
buying a new one to fill it's place. AS
it is now, the use of it leads to profanity
and even then brings but very little
water. As we are not financially heal
ed to support a steam pumping system,
let US at least have good Clown
Pump" Brother Garter will please
pass around the hat.
