To the Editor of th q ,TIMEs: Dear Sir- It see s to me strange, that at the very season of the year we require water mct. we have to be denied it. The Co jncii has the temer ity to take our mo ey in advance and then fail to delive the goods and re- fuse to return the oney. TWO reasons are given for shu ` ing off the water. First: The pumps r quire fixing -if such is the case, why isi,this fixing not done at some season of , he year other than July and August, when the water is most required? S condly: There is no water available- ; see lots of water running down th river to Goderich. They don't requir ` it there -"why not keep it here for ur own use?" The members of the Council tell us "that we must either d , without street lights or water." Fo : the last five or six years it appears to me that we have been spending Money on little other P g than our Electric Light Plant and Water Works. : The Commission or Council have been buying all sorts of machinery for the Electric Light Plant and drilling hers and there and every- where for watee and it seems evident that there has Ideeen either very bad management inhe expenditure of the money, or that s�ych an explanation is ti an insult to ou . intelligence. What inducement will there be next spring for anyone to en eavor to beautify the town by fixing lawns and flower gar- dens, if we areto be denied water in July and Augustjust when we require it most. If this order is to stand our lawns will soon' look worse than any stubble field, ;s • Of course as far as the council iseon- cerned I suppose; it makes little differ- ence to them personally whether we - have water or ndt. Only two or three of them have any!, lawns to water and these two or three would not use it any- way, but there are other interests to be considered besides their own. Another matter that appears peculiar is the apparently' invidious distinction that has been made, in sending out the notices, only certain parties being notified not to use the water. Many who have been using the water for their lawns and gardens have received no no- tice to stop it. The "Greater Wingham" of Geo. Spotton is as likely to come under recent administrations as is the "beautifying of the city of the dead", the great policy orginally enunciated by him, by putting a tub on top of a pole to keep the grass green in the cemetery, It is time some policy besides wind was envolved and definitely carried out by a Board of Commission of business men. Yours truly. R. S. Pretty Wedding in Toronto.
