THAT WATER INVESTIGATION.

We are not quite sure that the in
vestigation of the sO-called water
shortage ordered by the City Council
Is going to do any great good.
The pitometer company which II II
said has been retained by the city to
conduct the investigation may discover
that the shortage Is due to leakage In
defective pipes or by the tapping Of
mains by large concerns which use WA
ter In great quantities, but do not wish
to pay for It,
But the city. We believe. Is already
In possession of the necessary data In
this regard. The army Of employees
engaged in the service of the water
department Is sufficient to locate all
defective water pipes without any spe-
clal investigation, and rs for these who
obtain water by surreptitlOus methods

the same time conferred we'll descry-
"a honor upon one Of the ablcst, most

opponents In his party ranks, as every
man OF strong convictions must al
ways have, they all respect him, be
cause his methods have been ever opeI
and above board, he has been as hon
urnble and fair an adversary as h'
has been faithful and unpurchasabi'
in his friendships.
