Water Wagon Discussion.
Halt an hour or so was consumed
in discussing the causes OF the cop
ious moisture which is in evidence
around the various standpipes where
the city water wagons are filled,
Opinion was divided as to whether
the phenomenon is due to mischev-
ious small boys who cut the pipe OF
to the propensity of the water wagon
man to become absorbed in smoking
his pipe at the psychological moment
that the water wagon is filled. Mr.,
Beaven is conducting some scientific
research in this matter. He mention
ed during the debate an interesting
phenomenon which he claimed to
have recently Witnessed; i. e., the exit
of a large, healthy frog from n of
the standpipes. Il think we should
call on the water company for an
explanation" said Mr.. Beaver 1t
%transpired that Mr.. Beaver was not
on the water wagon when he saw the
frog, which he described as of the
bull variety. Nh. Hanlcy stated that
the problem of the ieaky standpipe
was one OF gravity. No one seemed
disposed to consider 1t a matter of
levity.
