them you would give the privilege of
running their sewer pipe into Town
Creek. All other parties wanting to
add like improvements should have
the privilege of connecting with the
sewer pipe laid by the first party.
This you will notice will greatly re
duce the cost and accomplish all that
will be required for first-class sys-
tenn Now arises the question of
pollution OF the stream. To Obviate
this, l would suggest the securing Of
the privilege of daming Town Creek
nearthe old wooden factory. Then
by flushing the stream once or twice
a week, would be able to keep it so
its condition would not be objection
able.
Now, as to the financial ability on
the part of the town to make these
improvements. This can only be
arranged in one way, and that is to
get our Legislature to pass an ac5
empowering our council to issue
bonds to the amount of twenty thous-
and dollars in denominations Of five
hundred dollars, each one to DE paid
year with interest, the last to be
come due forty years from date. The
advantage in long time bonds is that
many vet unborn will contribute their
share to the comforts that have been
provided for them by the present
generation.
You will notice that the interest on
this twenty thousand dollars of bonds
VIII not be near so great as the
amount that the town now pays for
its electric lighting. IN addition to
tlIis saving you will in very few
years add a very considerable income
from the water works. The neccs-
sity Of this Improvement is now at
hand, and it is no use to prOcrasti-
nate. We are every day and night
jeoparGi2ing two or three times the
cost of this plant by not having the
protection it offers The Insurance
money paid by the business portion
OF the town amounts 30 two thousand
dollars annually land then we are but
little more than half insured) From
this we would get y reduction of
twenty-five per cent. or more, if we
secure the contemplated protection.
The objections arising from citizens
residing outside of the Watcrcd dis
trict ought to be removed when we
state that it is not the intention that
any water tax shall be imposed upon
them, but confined strictly to that
portion of the town THAT gets the pro
lection. | think this is fair.

THE BATTLE OF THE GENERATIONS

The plumbers of Chicago have gone on
strike for what seems TO be a very unjust
cause, yet II has its pathetic side. IL mas
been the custom OF the trade TO allow one
apprentice to every three journeymen.
Tn plumbers recently struck for higher
wages and the employers yielded. agree
ing to pay 1915 day. and helpers slo 70
sl2 a week. Immediately that was granted
the union demanded that the number OF
helpers or apprentices should be reduced
10 one for each shop. The effect OF this
would be to throw out Of employment sew
eral hundred apprentices who had spent
three to four years learning the trade.
Worse than this they would have 10 be-
gin learning another trade because the
union would not permit them to work as
journeymen for less than the full wages.
although they had not received the full
training the union considers necessary to
secure experience. The alternative the
employers had was to pay them journey
mems wages.
So far a. the apprentices are concerned.
the action Of the union seems unxarrant-
able. To force these young men out OF
the employment In which they were
learning trade. under recognized rules,
was gross injustice II was no less un-
fair to the employers to insist. without
notice. upon such radical change in
their business arrangements.
Yet there is a sad aspect 10 the AFFAIR.
The working plumbers find themselves at
advancing years crowded by the younger
men. with their greater activity and mod
ern methods. AS old age creeps over them
they see the opportunity for earning their
livelihood slipping from them. In an ef-
fort to keep out competition and reserve
to themselves the field Of their labor, they
make the hopeless struggle. For IL Is
hopeless. The same fate overti-kes all
men in the professions. ir public life and
in the pulpit TO less than In the occupa-
tons OF skilled and unskilled labor.
While age resists the oncoming OF the
new generation. youth as vigorously and
more effectively presses forward TO take
It's place in the thinning ranks Of the
fathers. IL Is no consolation 10 the jour
neyman plumber who Is pushed aside,
with many years before him within which
he must provide a living for himself and
perhapS some others. 10 he told that his
neighbours boy must have chance. The
veteran will night for the place he has
held.
The plumbers as body have not acted

the condemnation there should be some
