promises to be an interesting one.
Men Of all paths Of lie propose tobe
present. A leading citizon who
knows OF what he is talking about
said last evening: There is no rea-
son why New Castle should not own
its own works In other places wells
have been driven 500 feetand pow
etful water supply secured. A first
class water plant with pi!peslaid in
the streets ready TO connect with
the houses can be installed for $1o-
600 Then there is no use OF paving
s.. 900 year for lighting purposes
for ten years when $4,000 will
cqip an electric light plant. The
light would be better and steadier
and more evenly divided The water
would be purer than what is now
used in the city. But in order to
erect the works new charter is
necessary. There are numerous al
leys for improvements and all the
citizens should be Interested in the
meeting on Friday n;ght.The water
pipes and service in use are very
poor.
