LET US TALK IT OVER
THE discussion In tho city council Tuosdny evening of the lnndequncy
of tho prcsontwnterworkssystem wns as tlniolynsltwaslmportnnt. Tho
oxlstlngcondltlonsnrc rapidly bosoming Intolerable. Not only Is tho
supply Inadequate hut tho so-called reservoir or sourco of supply Is
such ns to bo a menace to tho health of tho city.
There Is nn ever present thrent of epidemic from Impurities. Thnt
wo hnvo thus far fortunately escaped Is no warrant or nssuranco that
such good fortune will contluuo Indefinitely.
Tho residents of South Mnrshflcld aro without wntor several hours
nearly every day becaiiBo of poor pressure Thoy must resort to filling
tubs nnd buckotH during hours when they can securo water to provide
against tho Sahara dryness of tho pipes whcui tho water works Is not
working. During theso hours tho pressure on tho mnlns would bo wholly
iusulllclcnt to provide protection In event of any smnll flro. This means
tho city's payment for n protection that Is not afforded.
Thcro Ib no dcslro on tho part of Tho Times, nnd It feels certain tho
snmo Is truo of tho members of tho city council, to hnrnss or embarrass
tho present proprietors of tho wntor works system. Thoy nro respected
nnd worthy citizens largely Interested In tho city's wclfnrc. Self preserva
tion nnd protection Is tho first law of nature howovor, nnd In Its ohsor
vanco tho pcoplo of MnrRhflold will bo compollcd Boon to tnko boiuo
nutlon to protect tho proporty and the lives of Its citizens In tho mattor
of nn ndequnto and ptiro supply of water.
Tho Tlmos lias refrained front comment on this mattor hoping thnt
tlioro might bo ho mo Improvement In conditions. Mnttors liavo boon
growing worso Instead of hotter and action of some sort will soon bo
forced upon tho city.
It Is understood that tho present ownors have had tho wator works
system on tho market for sale for some time. At least ono or two
parties havo mndo thorough Investigation of tho project nnd woro pre
pared to tako It over but tho price demanded wns said to bo so at
variation with tho real vnluo that It was refused. It Ib not quite right,
to expross It mildly, for tho owners to seek to Invest their proporty with
additional vnluo by long extension of n frnuchlso thnt tho city attorney
declares Is written wholly In tho Interests of the wator company.
This Ik n mattor of tho most vital lmportnnco to tho city of Mnrshflold
nnd ItH future. It Ib something thnt requires prompt action. "Delays
aro dangerous" Ib n trlto and thrcadbnro old saying but Its application In
this Instnnco Is ns apt no It Ib true. A water works system Is to a city
what tho circulation of tho blood Is to tho body. It Is as necessary to
lifo ns tho nlr wo brentho. Any contamination or InHUtllclcncy In tho
supply Is a menace to health nnd property.
Tho solution of this problem should appeal to and engage tho earnest
thought of every cltlzon as well as tho city council. Tho Times throws
open Its columns to tho people who can think nnd suggest soino solution.
Wo Khnll bo glnd to rccoive and publish tho least and last ongnglng
Iden thnt will ho of nsslstnnco In tho solving of It.
Tho lmportnnco of this public problem dosorvos immodlnto nnd sorlous
consideration.
