Twelve feet of water in storage rcser-
voir this after little plaster ON the
bottom. How the kind old place re-
spends to a little good treatment If
the job We're done completely, the old
hole would hold too much water to be
healthy Maybe that's what the new
reservoir partisans are afraid of.
Without discriminating against
Messrs, Johns, KrOuSe and Richardson
three honest, well meaning but mistaken
gentlemen, the JOURNAL, speaking for
cleanliness, salubrity and health, an
nOunces all honor due to Messrs. Lam
inert, Duggan, Hartig and Kniericm for
their votes against the movement to re-
peal the anti-hog- pen ordinance 1t is
really good that these men were strong
enough to resist the pressure toward IL
step backward
1t is a pity that consideration of the
Union street paving project had to be
deferred il month. 1t is this sort of pro-
crastination that stretches the fulfill
ment of Il one-year reform to two years
For the lands sake S23j to find
out
|, That had the new reservoir project
carried the town would have had to
squeeze an $4,000 gallon of molasses
into $l5,00O jug and
,, That about 300 feet of drainage
proof wall and halfa ton of cement will
cost $4,000
The lesson is-there is nothing so dear
as the figures of tigurative expert
Justus Iungerman was pretty good
officer. But he found he could do better
i'll the mine. Besides, he got tired of
abuse for doing his duty. The Christian,
however is enjoined mot to weary in
well-doing." Whence, it is to be hoped
his successor, Roger Williams, will
rigidly see that the Ordinances are not
only obeyed but respected. He will find
i'll the end that pursuing this policy he
will stand well with mare people than if
he allows few to bulldoze him into
violating his oath of office. Even the
few will despise him. "Uorr people"
means also more people whose respect
is worth having. The JOURNAL believes
Roger will be faithful servant of the
town.
Instructions to Street committee were
timely.
The new Water superintendent has
introduced a feature newer than himself.
He not only reports but he "recom-
mends.' Unfortunately, however, his
recommendations bear only on the spigot
end of the systemic a wider distri-
button of a supply that is implicitly to
remain within its present limits. What
the people want is a practical-not neces-
Sarily eXpert-suggestion of how to re-
cover the water thati running to waste ;
neXt-how to preserve it after it is re-
covered from leakage, and, lastly-how
w IIpbt't II libiIl 'lIdllldSt lndl HIS not
yet killed anybody. There is IA notion
abroad that water partakes of the shape
of the hole it is kept in. That is, if
stored i'll three-cornered hole the
globules are three-cornered; if in an
oblong hole the globuleS are oblong, and
so on. All these are held to be I'M
healthy. Only the square globuled
water from a square hole is wholesome.
But if there be any force i'll this philoso-
ply those who hold and cherish it should
be taught that "globules," being round,
can come only from round holes. What
they want, therefore, without knowing
it, is hole, round in every direction
solid hemisphere bottom and oval
"kiver-lid." Then the eight sharp cor
ners of no four-square glob-cube
of water will have to cut their way into
the human system.
L0isr-Since the foregoing report was
placed in type the JOURNAL has been
reliably informed that there is now II
feet of water in the storage reservoir
Can such things be and overcome us
like n cloud i'm the halmv Sun,nar ti,na .
