tenn of waterworks. The money and
water are on hand. Our efficient
board of public works is wasting no
time. 1t has had surveys made, and is
now waiting only for the engineer to
come and adjust the survey to the
present conditions. AS soon as this is
done, work on Gafney's waterworks
will be commenced, and pushed with
Gaffney's usual persistence, until every
nook and corner of the city is supplied
with natures nectar, from natures
deep reservoir. Gaffney's waterworks
will be erected on an eminence in the
city's suburbs, which stand fully a
100 feet above its business portion.
The pipes will be judiciously laid, so
as to give water to every one who wants
it, and to food any building in the
city in case of fire.
