Our Water Supply and Drainage
system.

DEAR HERALD: Your arriv al today
brings to my mind n thought | had be.
fore leaving home. The vital relation
that exists between the future life. health
and prosperity of our town and the ques-
ton of water supply and drainage that
is to come before our approaching town
meeting. have had talk with several
men on this subject and all admitted its
Importance, but none seemed to have a
definite plan. | think a public meeting
| should be called, and an effort made to
get out every voter; that every man
should study the question from his own
standpoint, and that the wisest should
bring their learning and experience into
the discussion so as TO evolve, if possible,
solution that will meet every demand.
My opinion is that the town should
own the water works; that a thorough
survey for system of drainage, in &c.
cordauce with resolution passed at the
last March meeting should be made;
that the water and drainage should go
together to save expense and in accord
ance with definite survey and plan. |
am confident that If the same business
principles are applied to this that our
business men have applied to their own
business, we can have the best water sys-
tenn possible and perfect drainage, and
that the income from the water will pay
the interest on the whole cost. Then our
town would at once start out on new
career of prosperity such as would as
tonish the most sanguine; our hills
would be covered with new cottages, our
streets in summer would be filled with
summer visitors and our village would
be. even to the idle passerby, what it is
by birthright, very gem of the noun
tans. This may seem little extrava-
giant, but if you were restricted to boiled
water, cooled by manufactured ice made
from distilled water. the Board of Health
OF this city recommend this) it would
sharpen your appetite, il it did not
quicken your imagination. am sure if
the saloon around the corner had Island
Pond Aqueduct water on sale at cents

The big chandelier in the Congrega-
tiona Church came down with a crash
some time er the afternoon service on
Sunday the 31st ult., the matter not be-
ing discovered until tie following Thurs
dav. 1t was seen to slip several inches
during the service alluded to, and it is
almost miracle that it did not fall
when the lamps were being put out few
minutes later, lift had we shudder to
contemplate what might have happened.
1t is believed, however, that it fell very
soon after the Church was closed, for
the crash was heard by Mrs. Grieshaber.
and while the chandelier was mentioned
the noise was finally attributed to cars
being shunted in the yard. The Society
at once had the Church wired for electric
lights, and the lights were used last Sum
day afternoon.

THE TURK DELAYS.

[By Cable to The Associated Press.1
CONSTANTINOPLE,A Aug. %, 1S97.-The
question of the peace settlement between
Greco and Turkey has now passed out of
the hands of the ambassadors of the
Powers and has become the subject of ne
gotiations direct between the European
cabinets. Germany objects to the Mar
quis of Salisbury's proposal that Greece
should be asked to state precisely what
means she possesses for finding the
amount of the indemnity and insists upon
the signature of the peace preliminaries
as already framed. Austria partly shares
Germanys views and Italy will adhere
to Germany's policy if the powers agree
upon it. Russia and France are in
clined to support the Marquis of Sails
bury.
Tewfik. Pasha, the Turkish Minister for
Foreign Affairs, called at the foreign en-
bassies yesterday in order to urge the
necessity of fastening the settlement of
the conditions of peace.
