WATER SUPPLY
3928 - L May 3: 3/2 - In a letter to the editor, "Cheshire" says: "When,
more than two years ago, I was about to put down a stone pump, I was
strongly urged not to do it; 'it wouldn't do to cover a well down close,
it would spoi 1 the water.' I did however, and after two years trial can
challenge the whole city to produce a drop of more 'pure and sparkling
water' than I can." (4)
3929 - L July 22:1/5 - The aqueduct being built at the foot of Kentucky
st. to the lake is nearly completed. Preparations are being made to connect
huge pipes with it and extend these pipes out into the lake to secure
good water. (2)

and the river which is to conduct water to the reservoir was not properly

reservoir about noon today. (3)

full play. (7)
