The CITY WATER.

The Wausau Herald attempts to make
light of the complaints ylade about
the kind of water furnished by our mu-
nicipal water plant to its consumers.
If it was private corporation that had
been furnishing such bad smelling, bad
tasting water, filled with stringy dirt,
to its customers for three years or more,
how long would the Herald have kept
quiet? Would it not have jumped upon
the corporations neck, figuratively
speaking, at the very first indication of
impurity in the water, and remained
there until something was done in the
right direction OF course it would.
But because our water works is a mu-
nicipal affair, wby,it is a horse of anoth-
er color, and so the Herald must en-
deavor to distract attention.
There is nc argument that can make
the water which is now running thro'
the water mains of our. city, pure and
clear
There is no argument that can prove
that the water has not been more or less
bad for several years.
1t is now not only unfit for drinking
purposes but it is not fit in which to
wash clothes, or in which to battle. 1t
is only good for flushing, fire purposes
and fertilizing lawns.
1t is sad commentary on municipal
ownership when a plant like ours
charg IS for full service and then fails
to deliver the goods; in other words,
hundreds of the families of our city are
compelled to purchase drinking water
from the various springs, each paying
about 81 90 a month therefor. Many do
not do this because they cannot afford
to do so.
Wausau must have pure water sup
ply, otherwise it will go backwards and
it is the duty of every citizen to see that
it is given us.
A stand pipe must be placed on
East hill in order to give those who live
there, good service. No telling
what may have to be done during the
next six months to give all pure wat
er supply, but the cost will be enor-
nous to do it right, and it must be done
right.
There is another thing to consider
and that is fire protection. Is
the present condition all that it should
be 4? The PILOT thinks not Meters
should be placed on every service pipe
to prevent the waste of water. 1t will
close up everything tight and thus ena-
BILE good fire pressure to be had when
needed. 1t has got to come and our
authorities might as well do it now and
not wait until we have a destructive
fire.
There is a necessity for another en-
CINE at the pumping station in order to
give better fire protection. 1t does not
pay to delay these things.
The Pilot still maintains that Wau-
Saus greatest need at the present time
is pure water supply, and for which
its citizens are willing to stand the ex-
pense.
This matter is something in which
every tax payer is interested and we
therefore throw open our columns to
any one who desires to have his say
upon the question. Sign your names
and do not be afraid TO speak out. Shall
another city hall be built NOW? This
is a question which correspondents
should also consider NOW, under exist
ing conditions. Now is the time to dis
cuss these matters.

Gov. LAFoLLETTE has spoken of the
employees of the state capital and the
whole bunch are now in a frenzied
state, fearing removal. On Dec. 1st
the governor had notice given ten en-
ployes to take a walk and it is stated
that seventeen more have been given
notice that their services will not be
needed after Dec. 18th. The enemies
of the governor say that it is part of his
scheme to strengthen his machine
which has been so invincible for the
last six years.

THE SPARTA GAME.

After the Merrill game on Nov. 4, the
local highs had broken training and
nearly three weeks elapsed before
challenge arrived from Sparta for a
Thanksgiving day game in that city
The date was accepted, and Coach
Lewis and his men spent strenuous
week in preparation, leaving for Sparta
Wednesday morning.
The game was played under excellent
conditions of field and weather, and
was clean, fast contest throughout
After returning the kickoff WELL Wau-
sau failed to make first down, and
Sparta carried the ball over for touch
down in series of plays from the
forty-yard line. Wausau kicked off,
and soon held the Spartans to a punt.
The home team gained we'll on end
runs, but their backs were too slow for
consistent ground-getting, and Sparta
soon worked the ball well into their
visitors territory. Here penalty for
holding checked the Spartan onset, but
Wausau could not make good with the
leather, and another touchdown and
also goal were annexed to their
opponents score, making it 11-0 The
half ended soon after.
The second half also produced two
scoring marches by the Sparta eleven.
The only spectacular feature was
"almost" a run for a touchdown by
Kraatz, the big tackle for Wausau, who
got the bali on a tumble on our five
yard line and did his ponderous best to
sneak away with it, but he was caught
at the thirty yard mark. The game
ended with the score $50 in Sparta's
favor.
There was a hop after the game.
"Wausau hold 'em?" says a Sparta
rooter, they couldn't hold their
breath"
