It is said that sowing to the lack of
we'll water the city of Grand Rapids
is now being supplied, in part, by
Wisconsin river water" And then
to think how some people in this city
find fault with its pure, unadulterated
artesian supply, when their stock of
other criticisms are exhausted. Wau-
sau is certainly extremely fortunate
in not being obliged to use river
waterfor domestic, or any other pur-
