What is the use of talkâ€" ing a waterworks system at all if' we. are going on that way ? ”This whole thing was thrashed ‘out with three companies in 1891, when the waterworks proposition was first mentioned. The council want- ed the companies to take the water from springs, ‘but every one of them rcl’uéeel to entertain the idea for ore moment. They said ‘If you want us to put in a plant that way for‘ you, merely as contractors We wikl‘ do it, but if you want us to undu- take a system of our own we won’t touch it.
