TIE GOOD WATER DEMAND IN BOINKIfY.

Fully four months have elapsed since the light and water com pany changed hands and be ii said to the credit of our people that they have submitted to the inconvenience consequent up on the miserable service given, in a most patient manner.
 It was the understanding when the Brinkley plant changed hands that the new management was going to put in a new well and otherwise improve the ser vice so that the water would be fit for general use. Nearly four months have elapsed since this hope was founded but yet there is nothing that points to a reali- zation of this hope.
 The summer season is at hand now and there is coming from every part of the city a demand for water. The foul smelling. salty solution that is being forced
The Brinkley argus., 1912-04-19

on the patrons now is unfit for any use except as fire protection.
 Our city authorities owe it to the public to demand of the new light and water company bet ter water service and that RIGHT NOW too. When it comes to being kind and considerate, the rights of people who have to sub- nit to this hard ship and use tfe water should be considered.
 The only nrotection that our people have is through the ely council and it does look like it has about reached a time where they should say to the company, YOU MUST give us good water and that RIGHT NOW TOO.
 We have a splendid set of business men on our aldermanic board and it is to be hoped that they will demand immediate ac- ton on this important matter.
