LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Is the Best Water Too Good?

MT Editor: l was surprised to see the announcement that Superintendent Corkery of the water board has decided that the Norwich public shall continue and that the Stony brook water will be reserved. until it is needed.
 Stony brook water is the only water given free bill of health on analysis in half a dozen years. You will re- member that Trading Cove water was condemned as containing too many colon bacilli to be used without medi- Ca tion; and later, on analysis, the water of Fairyiew was found to con- tain larger per cent. of colon bacilli than the Trading Cove brook.
 Stony brook, the condemned, which was fought against for eight years as unpromising, and not worth develop ing, has now a full pond of good potable water, and Is waStin- millions of gallons over the spillway. The ex- aminer says it is good water, and e are told it is to be withheld till an inferior source has been exhausted
 There appears to be something g wrong with the judgment which lets the best water run to waste and com pels the consuming public to take an inferior quality of water.
 It doesn't seem to me that the best water at the eity's command is any too good to be served to the people Of Norwich at once.
 After this water has stood in the pond, takino the spring washings of the watershed for months, it, too, may be found to contain so large per cent. of colon bacilli that it will have to be medicated before the people are al- lowed to drink it.
 Colon bacflli are more or less com mon on all watersheds, and in all stored surface water If Stony brook hasn't enough at present to be worth mentioning. why not let the people have something that is free from alum and sweet and healthy?
 We hope the wafer board will re- verse it's decision and give the public d taste of Stony brook water while it has an official label for purity upon 1t

THE CLEAN UP SEASON.

Now that winter has passed and spring is officially here. it is proper that due consideration should be giv- en to the cleaning up of the city as well as to the housekeeping. There is always a large accumulation of waste material and plenty of insight " spots which have been allowed to exist through the winter, which should excite the attention and action of the owners of the property for it's early removal. Nothing better can be done for the identification of the city than to make grounds and bacl1yards as attractive as possible and there is al- ways plenty which can be done in this direction when spring opens.
 This is the time of year when the city government begins to put into ac- ton its efforts for improvements of the streets and start whatever work which has been delayed by the cold weather. It is fitting that individuals should embrace the same opportunity for contributing the important part which they can play in making the city more beautiful. By cleaning up the rubbish and the removal thereof, not only Is a step taken towards inn proving appearances, but it also means the obliteration of the breeding places of disease germs, which is even more to be desired.
 United action is necessary in any effort of the kind and the putting of the streets, parks and public places into presentable shape can be accom- panied by making every yard spick and span. 1t should be started early and contiuued with interested vigor until accomplished. Norwich needs it if it Is to have city beautiful.
