The Lancaster public fountain for
watering horses has proved great
success, nobody will dispute and if it
should be abolished we have no doubt
that it would be severely felt by those
who use it. But for all the conyen-
fence and blessings the fountain has
given to man and beast, there are
some Of the former who seem deter
mined to abuse or even destroy it.
Often times men will drive up to it on
trot. trying how hard they can hit
the bowl with the tongue Of their
wagons. There is at present hardly
anything left OF the lantern
which is situated on top Of the fount-
ain. on account of the continual mis-
use received and it is useless to keep
it in repair for lighting purposes.
What would you fellows, who are so
carless. say should the city council
refuse to furnish you water for your
teams or enforce the city ordinance
and fine you for misusing the fountain
in the way it is daily done2
