The Water Supply Question.

With the revival of spring there is
revival of the water supply ques-
ton. The subject came up last week
through a visit made TO our town by
= gentleman from ScantoL, Pa, who
said he had letter from the firm
owning the partly constructed plant
and franchise. in which they said
they would dispose of the franchise,
&C., for $4,000. The visitor. Mr..
Gearhart, said he was willing TO take
hold of the enterprise and complete
1t, If the town would agree to carry
out the contract it had made with
the company about eight years ago
IN reference to fire plugs. Mr.. Gear
hart did not meet the town council,
but interviewed several members
thereof, who informed him that i'm
their judgment it would be best for
the town to own the plant, AS it be
loDged to that class of Improvements
IN which all would be more or less
affected. To meet the position of
these members of the council we an
deI stand Mr.. Gearhart said he would
put the plant in working orde~, and
give the town an option to purchase
IT inside of two years. but he expect
ed To realize something on the risk
he would assume besides the money
invested in the enterprise.
We have ALWAYS held 10 the opin-
ion that it would be best for the
town tn own this water plant. 1t is
one of those works spoken of by Prof
Ely as u natural monopoly that ought
to be retained hy those who at last
would be taxed TO maintain it. IF a
good investment, it's benefits would

ING reasonable rates il did not at first
prove profitable. the rates would be
increased so that at last the custom

the franchise and the pIring alread y
laid, the residue of the necessary
work, which may include overhaul

exceed $4,000.
The abundance of money in the
country, as evidenced by the raadi

EAST OR WESL-The curious cues
ton Is raised rs to whether our new
possessions IN the far Pacific are 10 be-
termed the eastern or western portion
of our country. They ale clearly
eastern IN the public mind. as viewed
from this section of the nted States.
and they have always been regarded
as the eastern portion of the world.
but the people of the Pacific coast are
speaking of them as western, and
they certainly sail west to reach them.
Is there point in the far Pacific
where the limit of the west is to be
defined as ending, and the east is sup.
posed to begin? This expanding of
United States territory all over the
round globe is sufficiently novel, and
1t seems to create some perplexity as
to the points of the compass. Boston
