The local correspondents of the
Springfield Republican in his hast Sun
DAYS letter takes this view of the
local waiter situation: The engineers
have been considerably delayed NY
this weeks storm in their surveys for
the water board, but have given the
time TO map-making of watersheds, as
required by the state BOARD of health
They are again at work on the surveys
for the Halliday brook scheme, which
is regarded by most members of the
board as the most eligible of all the
projects before the village, subject
only to some question under the re-
port of Engineer Davis last summer
of the sufficiency of the watershed.
Hope is growing that if the surveys
and estimates Justify their expecta-
lions as to sufficiency and cost, an offer
may be made to Mr.. Crowell for its
construction at price that will yield
him some profit in return for the large
losses he must suffer whatever is the
outcome. This can be done, and the
work he has already put in at Pleasant
valley and from Stickney brook can be
taken off his hands at cost without a
very large loss to the village, because
the water-pipe from Stickney brook,
diverted into the MILESTONE, would
probably eliminate the item of water
damages or damages to mill-owners,
which the engineers have figured at
above $4,000, whether the water for
the village supply is taken from either
the Pleasant valley or Halliday brook.

+. Washington, Dec. 19.-The follow.
ing letter to Attorney General Bona
parte was given out at the White
House today: ''Some three years ago
Sheriff j. L. Merrill Of Carroll county,
Georgia. lost reelection by his action
in beating off mob of several hun
bred white people who were trying to
take a negro out Of jail and put him to
death; that Sheriff Merrill and his
deputies fired on the mob, killing and
wounding several men and beating the
others off. Because of this he was de-
feated for reelection. Congressman
Adamson brought the matter to my
attention, saying that he hated to see
a man who had done such a service as
a public official defeated because of
the very fact that he had rendered
the service. He told me that Governor
Terrell had offered Merrill place
the best he had to give, which carried
a salary of $50. per month. I told the
congressman I thought I could beat
that and get him a place at $1,000
year as. custodian Of the federal prison
at Atlanta. I hear he has done well.
IF he has done well can It we give him
promotion? Sincerely yours,
