There seenis to be no doubt
but that our city will in the near
future procure a system of water-
works. The citizenship demands
it. The interest of our town
and county call for it. It is ;t
"burning"' necessity. In view of
this fact our city fathers would
do well to investigate the ex-
perienee of other town- an deities
in establishing and maintaining
waterworks. We have read con-
siderable in recent year- about
