There is a good deaf Of talk here over
the waterworks being purchased n
controlled by the municipality The
majority Of the citizens seem TO be de-
cidedly in favor OF this. IL seems that
during the last snow a fertilizer COM
pany placed a lot OF guano over one
of the main waite pipes. and this leaked
through and tinctured the water with
sulphuric acid, which may be healthy,
but hardly nice as a regular diet. Apart
from this is an incident. there are other
objections raised TO the private owner
ship OF the water supply; and II is said
that the dignity OF the capital would
best be maintained by city ownershcip
OF this most important feature OF NUM-
cipal life, even IL the main success OF
such ownership be TO remove asper-
sionsu upon private persons.
The m OF the state should take
advantage Of the fact that labor re-
ports can be had for the asking: and
hat the monthly bulletin of the agri-
cultural experiment station will be sent
Indefinitely TO anyone who sends his
name to that department.
