ENTERPRISE IN NEW WINDSOR.
BY Private Enterprise a Number of Citi-
zenS Light Their Houses by Electricity
and Supply Themselves With
Pure Water.

New Windsor is a beautiful little town on
the Western Maryland Railroad. seven miles
west of Westminster. 1t has long been a
iavorite summer resort, is the seat of New
Windsor College, has national bank stores
&c., and some progressive citizens Among
these are Mr.. Louis H. Dielman, Nathan H.
Bale and DIR. John A. Burlington. These.
gentlemen conceived the idea of securing Tor
themselves and miles good. pure water. and
had Il we'll drilled, cased with steel. 10 shut
out surface water. They struck such heavy
flow that they determined to offer it for public
use. They proposed to the town authorities
that if they would lay the mains water would
bc furnished free for protection against fire.
and operate their engine whenever it might
be required in the event of fire. The PROPOSE
tlon was not accepted and they then went
along with their original plans. and so far
have laid about 100 feet Of pinch mains. y
tank, with 5000 gallons capacity, forty feet
high has been put up, and the elevation is
sufficient TO protect about 90 per cent. of the
property in the town. Had official assistance
been given the tank would have been put
thirty feet higher, as to protect all the prop
erty. The enterprising gentlemen have put
tour water plugs at convenient points tor use
III the event of fire.
These gentlemen have also put up a small
electric light plant, which they expect to en-
large in the spring. They met with opposi-
ton in erecting poles, so they have run wires
only where none were necessary. At present
the lights are in the store of George {. Anders,
the First National Bank, l.. II. Dielman, $
drug store, and the residences of Nathan b..
Bale and DR.. John a. Burlington. a b.
candle power light has been placed on the
street., to show the people how the town could
be easily and well lighted.
The general contract is in the hands of j..
S. Connolly, of Philadelphia. the electrical
work being done by John +. Graybill, of
York, and the wiring by W. l.. Wilhelm, OF
the same place. The steel tower was erected
and the machinery placed by H. X. Johnston,
Of Hagerstown.
improvements in rural communities move
slowly. All are always opposed, and sharp
contest usually prevail before success is at
tained. Gas was bitterly opposed in West
minister, and every other enterprise has met
with some opposition and but meagre support.
After once being established many people
wonder why they opposed them. This will
be the situation in New Windsor, and the AID
vOCATE congratulates the town that IL has such
progressive citizens as Messrs. Dielman. Bale
and Burlington. Let them persey ere, and in
time New Windsor will have pure water,
smooth highways, an efficient fire department
and well lighted streets. And the people,
too, will give due credit to the promoters OF
these improvements.
