and, as a move in the right direction,
the proposed ordinance ought to be
ratified. The plant need not be eN-
tensive, but it should be wisely and
well constructed, even if the cost eN-

public expenditures is greatly to be
desired, but there is little ground for
fear of extravaganza on account of
just plain water.
Geo Crawford-Favor water works.
Think plan good one, as it provides
for immediate fire protection, and at
the same time provides for future eN-
tensions of the system to any part of

London. April 1.-THE Times will
print, Friday, dispatch from its

"A council OF the admirals WAS held,
today Thursday, to determine
whether and when the gulf of Athens
is to be blockaded. All the Powers
have now consented to that proposition
though nothing has been decided with
respect to the blockade of Greek ports.
1T Is no secret that King George has
formally stated TO the Powers that a
declaration of war against Turkey viii
follow Immediately the extension OF the
blockade to the Greek coast. This
fact can not be left out of considera-
tior. 1t Is believed in some quarters
that II the gulf of Athens is blockaded,
popular excitement will compel the
King 20 declare war. even IL his own
Judgment and that of the cabinet We're
opposed.
This has been leading cause of the
delay In securing a unanimous agree
ment between the Powers. There Is no
doutt that in the event OF Turco-
Greek war the Intervention of the
Powers would be suspended"
