In the published .eommunication Of the
trustees of the ResaGsHS & L. Co., in the
issue of the HERALB0Se yesterday they vir-
tually concede the facts we stated in our
answer to their complaint published on the
7th inst They charged US with violating
an agreement. We said we did not, and they
do not deny it, but they allege that "at the
close of last season when the sprinklers of
both companies were out Of service certain
business men and others on Main street re-
quested the Columbias to continue sprnkling
that thoroughfare, and upon refusal on
their part similar application was made to
our company" The allegation that the
trustees Of this company or the driver of the
sprinkler was so requested is not true. They
Furthermore say that the sprinkler of our
company was unfit for service" That
statement is not true. On the day in ques-
ton the sprinkler of the Rescue H. & L. Co.,
"a new toy" went into service about 10
a. m. The sprinkler of the Columbias was
on the street before IL a. M. The new toy''
was paraded up and down Main street; our
servicable sprinkler, more useful perhaps
than ornamental, not only covered Main
street as seryiceable as the toy" but we
looked after Ceutre street alone. We desire
to say in conclusion, that we have the best,
the newest and the largest street sprinkler,
and we propose to give the public the best
possible service we can. We also have a col
lector who will make his rounds at proper
intervals, and we as fully appreciate any
fsvors we receive as another or others
Thanking you for your past thoughtfulness
and liberality, and craving your future sup
port and confidence, we are
