Wt: have heard with untinifuctlon. that some strps have lately been taken by our t‘it y t‘ouiicil. in order to litruislt the inhabit- ants oft‘harlottctowu with “hob-some water. It is inumsildc to exaggerate the importance of such a measure: and the solo woudcr is. that it should to this time remain unaccom- plishcd. Any one who looks at the nur- rouudlngs of the public pumps of the city. mth be perfectly satisfied in his own mind. that the water which is taken from them greatly lacks purity. They are stationed in places into which must port-«date much that is pernicious. As a rule. the natural wells and fountains which have. supplictl the rising village with water. are fouml to be dispensers of poison to the large and popu- loun city. t‘lty magistrath are careful. thcrcforc. to ordcr all city wells to be filled up the ununcut the inhabitants have been supplied with watcr ll‘om some rural dis- trict. Wu know not what report the Eu. giuccr employed by our clvlc authorities has mmlc; but we would any li‘otn casual obser- ration. that there can bc l'tulud in the lm- mcdiato neighlmrltoml of Charlottetown. abundance of wholcsoum water. sullicicut to supply it for many years. - The cost of the Works ncccsmtry for its introduction may be an ulwlnt'lt‘. Yet this. when compared with what must be expoudcd by cities elsewhere. will be trifling. Uur soil soil will offer fcw obstructions which thc pick and the spade will not rcmovr. The civic taxcs are light. and no one would grudge an annual assess- mcnt in ordur to "wow for his household the iucstimablo boon of good watcr. Wt- believe that many hum-holders pay now in the course of the ycnr. ntot‘c money for fresh \vatcr than they would be called on to pay undcr a water itstamcmcht: and cvcn though the sum \vcrc higher. the hcalth. comfort and convcnicucc sccurcd, would bc cheaply bought. '

The introduction ofwatcr into t‘t cry house necessitates wuslc-pipcs. and waste-pipes entail the adoption ofromcsystcm of sctvcr- agc. This Would indch be a great boon to thc city.
