“'ATEB T0 BU RN. It now seems clear that we have a certainty of a. waterworks system with a supply sufllcient for domestic pur- poses as well as for fire protection. The operators who struck the magnifi- centafluian well have had much ex- pain-co and declare that they never “flu-Magma the one curler On Monday night last a full house was in attendance at the Town Hall to discuss the advisability of purchasing the artesian well lately struck hythe Gas and Oil Company, and installing a system of waterworks for the town. Everyone seemed alive to the importance. from a sanitary standpoint, of having good pure water instead of being obliged to use water from the filthy wells 80 common in the place. A standing vote of the utepnym present gave almost a un- animous opinion that council pur- choe the spring at once and develop it later on, This is one of the finest water flows seen anywhere, and the town, it seems, would make a great mistake not to accept it. The Oil and Gas Co, will start another well as soon as they can get their machinery in position. An Editor sat in his sanctum writ- ing a finished editorial on the subject “Support your own Town.” He was always a firm believer in the import- ance of building up his own immediate community and not sending money away when it could be spent to as good purpose with the home merchants. The introductory portion of the article was well rounded up and the second paragraph, which might be epitomised as “internal local co-operation,” was Well on the way, and had it appeared in type every man, woman and child Who ever sent a dollar out of town Would feel paralysed at his own mean- ness fer the guilt of such an uncharit- able piece of picayune economy. .lust here a merchant came in to request the. editor’s assistance in rousing ans tipathy against peddling interlopers, and the delighted quill pusher who felt just then that he had risen to the height of his literary genius was in full accord with the local merchant and was on the point of promising to annihilate all intruders when his arder Was damped at the glaring inconsist- ency of the self~seelcing merchant banding in a change of ad. on a sheet of stationery printed out of town. The faint hearted editor suddenly collapsed the article was consigned to the waste basket and the world has lost a literary treasure. This town, like many others, is visited by agents who convert them- selves into mere fawning sycophants to secure a trade that can be just as well done at home by the local print- ers, and furthermore when any public- ity is sought by an individual or an institution, the local press is the best medium to which to appeal. All things considered. there is nothing gained by going out of town to get your printing done. Durham today is the best place on earth: the Durham merchants are the most honest: the Council is the; most progressive: the newspapers are the most up-to-date, and the job de- partments are fully equipped for all kinds of work. This. at least, should be the feeling of every true loyal citi- zen. and when possible he should al- ways patronize home. DURHAM CHRONICLE Strictly Pure Durham, Aug. 6, 1903.

Had there been a brickyard within easy reach so that supplies could be had at reasonable prices, many other buildings would have, been erected. But it is about the appearance of the new buildings we wish more particularly to speak. Early in the season we appealed to those about to build to erect houses of a more modern type than those already in the town. \Ve are pleased to say that our appeal has not been disre- garded and that the new houses are decidedly up-to-date in their style of architecture and in their appearance generally. Messrs. Sparling, McCrack- en and Catton are. especially to be commended for the taste displayed. \Ve feel sure their extra outlay will have its full reward, not only in the satisfaction which they must them- selves feel and in the gratitude of their fellow citizens, but also in a fair and equitable cash retprn. There are few peopleâ€"we believe there are still a few howeverâ€"-who would not willingly pay a higher rent for a home of which ‘ they can be proud than for one that‘ disgraces them. I PIG STIES. Several complaints are heard con- cerning the nuisance created by the proximity of pig sties to dwelling houses in the town. This is undoubt. edly a nuisance of the first water, and the owners of the four-footed offenders should not expect any citizen who has any regard for the general health of his family or for the comfort of his nose to tolerate its existence near his dwelling. \Ve are informed that trouble and expence will be saved offending parties by taking this hint and removing the grunters beyond the statutory limits. Complaints would have been laid before this but for the dislike of citizens ’to impose unneces- sary expense upon their neighbors.‘ OFFICIAL TREE-PBUNER. Would it not be well for the Town Council to appoint some experienced person as oflcial tree-prune- for the has sustained. Notwithstanding this, we fear that Dundalk, like Durham, is cursed with a few individuals who would even vote against a fire By-law if submitted to the "atepayers. No (own is safe without a good system of waterworks, and as we write this we entertain the hope that our council will avail themselves of the flowing Welland instal a system that would easily supply the whole town with an abundance of water. Dundalk had a very destructive fire last week, and with other valuable property the Herald Printing Office became a prey to the devouring ele- ment. A town without agood, live local paper is certainly a back number and nothing reflects the business char- acter of a place so well as the advertis- ing patronage that business men show their weekly paper. There is no one power carries with it a wider influence than a well conducted paper notwith- standing the sneers and jibes of those who make fun of the editor’s efforts either through ignorance or good na- ture. Just as the. fire started the Edi- tor of the Herald was writing an article on “The Necessity for VVater- works for the Village," little dreaming that his fiXed opinions would he forced home to the citizens before the article was half written. We’ll venture to say that the article was a good one, because we believe that most of those who push the editorial quill are. en- dowed with a great deal more common sense along practical lines than the majority of their readers are. willing to give them credit for. The article never appeared, but instead of that a more potential energy has stirred up the citizens --More potential we say because of the financial loss the village WEED THEM OUT. Work on the abutments of the bridge is going on rather slowly it seems to us, Much complaint isheard on the street about the shitty charac- ter of the men, a number of whom, if reports are true, should get the G. B. and be allowed to go some place else to do their loaflng. The Council is largely to blame for wasting public money, and they would be perfectly justified in dropping the drones. The idea of keeping a lot of human orna- ments hanging round simply because men are said to be scarce is no good and the quicker the officials assert their authority and rid themselves of the parasites the better it will be for the general public. ' consideration. They had to do with‘ boring for the artesian wells that sup. ply the waterworks in the town of Berlin, and they tell us that the total output from the whole of the Berlin wells is not to be compared with the -‘ gusher” they struck in this town. The water, too, from appearance and temperature is all that could he de- sired. It is clear and sparkling as it gushes through an eight-inch pipe to a height of about fourteen inches and an actual test of temperature shows it to be about 44° Fahrenheit or 12° above the freezing point. At the present flow there is no need of an expert to figure out the chances of the supply being sufllcient for a town like Dur- ham for all purposes.

In this way much could be done to beau- tify some of the streets that at present look neglected. The expense of prun- ing would be cheerfully borne by those whose property lies adjacent to the trees, for it is their duty to protect the trees. and the matter of pruning is often neglected because there is no experienced person available to whom the task can be entrusted. It is in matters of this kind the council can show its interest in the welfare of the town. and the aldermeu ought to be big enough men to give some consider ation to every plan or scheme that will result in good to the corporation. In very many towns throughout the Province there is an official tree-prun- er and we should have one in Durham. DRY WELLS. , The usual sequel to the emptying of 3 the mill-dam. namely, the drying of ‘ most of the wells west of the river, has come to pass. Apart from the incon- venience to the parties whose wells are affected the question of the purity of the water from such a source is one of considerable importance. We are told that if water filters through twenty feet of sand or gravel the water will be perfectly pure. That is true for a‘ time, but experiments along that line: have proven conclusively that wateri from a polluted source will in time pollute the filtering ground through which it passes until large areas are poisoned and the water is unfit for use. g How long it will be till this is the case i with many of the wells in lower town, ; it would be diflieult to say, but it is} safe to predict that at no distant date i provision will have to be made for a: purer water supply. The draining of? cesspools or the emptying of sewage into any portion of the river within 1 the corporation should be strictly pro- 3' hibited if the present state. of affairs is 1 going to he continued to the prejudice ‘ of our town and the injury of our pen- 1 pie. ‘ town?
