President e. T. D. Myers. Of the Rich

pany, will, it is said, send to the General
Assembly a letter giving the information
called for in the C,ravely resolution.

Company whether or not the Seaboard
Company had made a new contract with
the old company since the charter for a
rival line was granted
President Myers letter will state that
no new contract has been entered into.
It is learned from one in position to
know that the Seaboard trains run over
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-

trains of all other roads. The contract
that was entered into before the charter
for rival roads was granted is still oper-

PUBLIC CONVENIENCE.

The debate IN The Chamber of Commerce
on Tuesday evening served 10 show with
extraordinary clearness the inconvenience
that The public viii suffer with only coca
.sfonal complaint if the public is Itself
responsible for the situation.
How long would the citizens of Rich
rrlond submit to dirty wafer If the water
works were in the hands Of some private
person, like Mr.. Fisher. for example, and
were not owned by the city? How long
would the people of the city submit to
liquid 1nud if they were paying their water
assessments TO a company and not to
their own city government? We know
that Superintendent Boiling has made the
water-works a self-sustatrins institution
and he has by every means in his power
sought to force the Council into making
appropriations which viii give a satisfac-
tory filter plant for our reservoir system
But Superintendent BoIltng's efforts have
produced no practical results as Yet, so
far as pure water is concerned, and the
people Of Richmond continue to pay their
taxes and 10 drink liquid mud We know
of one banking institution which controls
ttle water-worlls of forty-one different
cities, and in every case tine watar-works
have filter plants where there is any pos
.sible ground for using or needing them.
Does il make any difference to the people
who get muddy water that the dividends

private corporation? We are not in favor
OF The city selling its water-woc'ks. They
have uniformly been managed successfully
economically and wisely. but we do insist
that the public OF Richmond shall demand
from the city government a system of sad-
1ninsstration that will give pure water.
If this means metres in every house, then
let US have metres for there is neither
justice nor sense in a. system that viii
