Dear Mr. Editor, --There appears to
be a feeling of uncertainty as regards
the source of supply and the 'sufficien-
cy of water for the proposed 'water-
works ,among the ratepayers el the
town.
Engineer Davis in making his
inspection reported artesian wells
the best source, also that -two wells,
one 6 and the other lip inchesample
to give all the water necessary for a
town . of 4,000 people.
The followingrtowns are supplied by, t
artesian wells •: Mount Forest,
Orl-
is, N arket St. Marys, She1-
•
r Waterloo, Barrie, Galt;
,bu ne, .Watt o0, Ba r e, rlin, . Be i ,
`Essex; Leamington,; Mitchell, Listo
well, Bradford, Chesley and others.
Some of thesev population of
. h a e a
10,000 and have plenty of water for
fire, domestic and manufacturing pur-
posee.
Engineer Willis : Chipman, John
Galt; Bowman, W, J. Bowers, O'Con-
nor & Clark, all the chief engineers.
of the province, all recommend arte-
sian ,wells.
Artesian Wells are no experiment in
Clinton 1 all have beensuccessful and
none- are more than 4 inchee in dia-
meter. .
Mr. Peat, who is now drilling for
Mr. Ransford, tells me he 'has drilled
more than •1000 wellsall over this
coneinent and assures me one 8
inch well. will supply Clinton with all
the water necessary but it: the case
of any accident occurring it is well
to have 'ewe, Dr. Hodgette, the On-
tario Board oh Health sceretary,, has •
gone aver the emend in Clinton and .
advises artesian wells.
Some take exception to the cost ..
$53,000 being too mall. The town
coclncii of 1903 paid. . for the services •
of Mr. Davis of Berlin the engineer
who. reported that this will give a
system ample for domestic purposes.
The report covers every street oc-
eupied by residences placing hydrants
.within easysY actess so then no one
can ' complain of •being slighted.
Should.any change be necessary it
can very easily be adjusted • when
i i engaged 1the
eng neer . s e g god, to ay out
final' plan. .
There is not a town in Canada the
size of Clinton without waterworks.
and not one will say they are sorry
they have them,but on the con-
trary say the conveniences,far out-
balance the cost.
If we expect another railway -and
more manufacturing we mure • give
them some inducements, to come here
and build• and he protected from fine,.
As we are now situated if it were
not for the ' small system._ of water
works from Fairs' We would be use-
less.
' :.Respectfully Yours,.
J. W. SHAW.
