= There has been some talk and Ell
fort toward getting a water supply for
St. Croix, and we all agree that such a
thing would be of immense benefit to the
community. But it does beat my under
standing that the same very people who
are kicking at this and that, and want
everything to come to their doors, fail to
realize their w responsibility or to live
up to their ~pretensions even in the care
of their own possessions. Here IN this
drought / have gone around town Il
counted on the fingers of my one hand the
number of houses in n street that had
sporting and, where they had, were
provided with r~eceptacles tor the water
which, during the. recent days rain
fall has simply been allowed to run in the
gutter and go to. waste. l have noted
institutions owned by organizations hay-
ing funds and which ought to be alive in
these matters no better off in this respect.
If ten per cent of the properties in town
had spouting around their roofs and
moderately large c~isterns it is possible
that this town could withstand a
drought of a year. AS it is, the people
are from place to place begging for
water which is more often sold, while
rents are mounting up without the
slightest regard to what conVenlences
are provided in return
