bonds, We have been called IAN
DODGERS. We have never been known
NV any other name except that OF hieh-
ors but we do like water, In lac'
shower baths on River street are JUS
onr kind of amusement. But we 90 ho'
want water TO such an extent that we, a.
tax PAYERS, care 10 pay for any big law
sui,s. The city is after the scalp OF
every single water dealer in the Guy;
The Mayor and bis company are haIo
iphters. The mayor likes to be III the
court room, he will not give up so long
As he thinks he is right, so you fellows
had better let the city do AS it pleaseS
and if the typhoid fever spreads once
more, now that we are given some q
fiat summer beverage from East Barre
why then We spring water people can q
TO the rescue and drive the city wael
COMPANY out of business, but Tor 'iie
present We better count your chickens
before they run away, and don get 50
dpcp into lawsuits with this fighting
famed city and its world famed council
that it will be necessary to have aholhel
flood before water is once more as tree
as the air.
The passage of this strange notice was
executed with regular Dewey qnlcN'
ness. and then came the tug of war be-
tween two advocates of rival spring
water companies. One man OF more
than common size held one end of The
rope while the other end was III lh'
hands of two smaller members OF TIT
club who were more ready to talk THAI
to pull. But after several hours OF har'
work, during which the spectator
cheered both sides, the Boss decided
that the matter was tie, and that ih
prize, the winning Of the first injunction
suit. would have to be fought for in SOM
other way.
The Boss then introduced the delegat
sent up to Berlin Pond to see about eA
tending the electric railroad TO tina
place, and he proceeded Ito give tn
opinions of men who live along tn
route Here are some OF them as W
are able TO recall.
Said one old citizen who dwellS nea
the Perkin line Il am agin the buildin:
of the pesky track along my farm line
My old nag is not afraid of mowln:
machines, or horse rakes, but She WouI'
Jump clear off her feet at the sight O
such concern as the trolley. | don
want any such wagon goin by m
wood pile, and l amt afraid to say So.
He was followed by another ma
from that section who said, 81 am afra
my cows would be SO frightened at til
sight of these queer looking buggie
that they would give no milk and the
some of the gals in the city would b
without ice cream. SO rather kinde
reckon that they wont run any ears pa,
my dung hills
Then came slick looking man frol
Berlin Corner who after clearing hi
throat proceeded with this line of argr
ment 1--WE people at the corner az
eager for the railroad for we have man
attractive sights and we will allow tn
road to run along the lake shore If W
are given free rides once each day t.
the granite city"
This ended the story told by this raj
road engineer. Then came few spal

Council and the water kirkers about tn
