which would give Us first-class spring
water by the gravity system. There sr'
several of these springs that can easily
be bought into use, and they are high
enough 10 insure plenty Of head on ,h'
mains. The quality OF the wster !;
beyond criticism, probably a. good n:
can be found In the state, aud the sup
