JohnTik and Joseph Jaker-
bonnie Break the
Peace.

Clinton, Nov. 2O.-S. Ives Wallace
named a committee to be associated
with the water board, today, according
to the vote of the town meeting, Sat
urday night. He named William
Rodger Chairman of the board of Sc
) lectmen), George w. Morse and Daniel
B. ingalls,.
Not breath of criticism is heard
against the appointments, except in so
far as relates to the appointment of
Mr.. ingalls,. The criticism of this APP
pointment is that Mr.. ingalls, has been
for years VIGOROUSLY the enemy Of the
water board, and that some unpreju
diced person should have been appoint
ed in his place.
Mr.. ingalls, has run several times for
the office of water commissioner and
has been defeated. In this way a GER
tain i'll feeling has grown up between
Mr.. ingalls, and one of the members
of the board, Hon. John w. Corcoran.
Mr.. ingalls, was the author of the
motion on which the committee was ap-
pointed. He claims that a more adj
Vantageous contract ought to be made
with Lancaster than now exists. The
Cunton is going to take advantage of
its position as owning the supply of
water upon which Lancaster depends.
This town can make the price to suit
itself. At this time, if the figures fur
nished by the registrar of the water
board, Peter f. Cannon, can be accept
ed, the town is making a profit of $500
year on its transactions with Lam
caster. There are 232 wGTer takers in
the town, so that there is a, clean mar
gin of almost 81 average profit on each
taker
There is a clause in the act that pro-
Vides that Lancaster may take a supply
of water from the Nashua by paying a
pro rata share of the cost of construct
ing the great works which are in prog
ress. But to take advantage of this
supply the town would have to get a
special act, giving it the right to lay
It's pipes through Clinton, would have
to pay the town something for the
privilege and sum estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000 to the metropolitan
district. In short Lancaster would be
lucky to get out of such a proposition
for $3.50
But this no reason, in the minds of
many citizens, why the mother town
should be subjected to a skinning
process to get the last cent. Lancaster
and Clinton are virtually one place
Clinton merchants get the bulk of the
Lancaster trade. Lancaster people
come over to Clinton to work, and the
separation between the places is not
as real as its separate Incorporation
would Indicate
