About $!,oe0 has already been expended
by tho town council Tor water for fire
purposes, and still there Is no water. The
artesian well is almost dry, the boiler
purchased to run the we'll is exposed to
the weather and of no usc, the tank is
high and dry, and "a law SHIT is threat
ened by Mr.. W. Frederic against the
Mayor and Board of Aideimeu for putting
The well on his land without his sanction,
and right in the face of this a petition is
being circulated asking the board to pro-
cure water purposes, encouraging the
board 70 expenl more of the tax pa yer's
money, instead Of first disposing of the
useless machinery now on hand. We say
call a halt. The present administration
is pledged 10 retrenchmeut and reform.
and we have confidence IN a majority of
fhe members of the board that they will
carry ont their pledges to the letter.
The Moss Point and Pascagoula rail-
road ran its first train to Pascayonla Sat
