THE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, SUNDAY MORNINO, 3IAY 27, 1894 MORE ABOUT WATER. A Still Indignant Mousi-keep Replies to Mr. Parker. It seems the' "Indignant Housekeeper" is not satisfied with the explanation offered by Chairman Parker. We do not wish to appear sarcastic, but beg to suggest that if it is the earth our es teemed correspondent wants, why of course she can have plenty of water with it. Now we may anticipate that she would reply to this by saying "It is only a new water syBtem she is af ter," but, on reflection, must she not ad mit that the woman (or man either, for that matter) who cannot be reconciled to a chronic state of uncleanllness by the chairman's explanation, must be very hard to suit Indeed? If our housekeeper is not satisfied that she ought to con struct water works for nerself, as has been so kindly and pertinently suggest ed by the chairman, let her go to the river for her supply of the element. However, as The Astorlan husn't the money in its custody that might be used to build water works, it can only commend the subject, with the follow ing additional letter from "Indignant Housekeeper," to those who have: Editor Astorlan - When I saw by the heading of an article In Saturday morning's edition of your paper that "Chairman Parker makes a statement," I thought, now we shall know all about It, and hear some good reasons, why we do not get our new water works. After I had read and reread the article, I was still in the dark, for I could not find one word about new water works, but I did read that at least one of the present board had been In the businens for twenty years. Well! they tell us that "experi ence is the best teacher." If so, surely twenty years of tuition under one teach er, ought to hi-ve produced some re sults lp. advance of present appearances. Of all crude, "old-timey" ways of sup plying a city of the size of ours with abundant water, the present one takes the palm. Is this not the same way that the water supply was brought to the city when it was a little fishing hamlet, twenty years ago? only the pipes are longer, as of necessity they have been obliged to go farther away after the supply. Now, I am a woman and a housekeeper, Mr. Parker's in sinuatlolis to the c mtrui y notwithstand ing, and I may have asked questions that I had no business to, as women are apt to do, but I do not need to be told that the board are properly courteous. I know that. Will that build new water works? As to the other two adjectives of praise, he bestows on them "live and less mossbock," I have my doubts, but these attributes are a side Issue. What I want to know Is, why we do not have new water works? Is there any reason for the delay? If so, will Mr. Parker, or any other one of the board, tell us what It iB? Not a lawn or garden in town is allowed to use water for Irri gating, not even if they are willing to pay for it. The last three days we have had a little better supply of water. I was Just about to write for which we are grateful, but I won't say that; it is our right. We pay for it, but we are not by any means sure that this will continue, as long as there Is only a lim ited supply at the fountain head. The Idea of an individual tank for every house Is not an original one by any means. Every well built house is sup posed to have such an appurtenance somewhere around. How many are there In Astoria kept filled by the As toria Water Company? There are windmill tanks, rain water tanks, but how many supplied by Astoria Water Company with water? If .we pay the company for a supply of water sufficient for our families, in advance too, it is the business of the company to see we get it, and If they cannot keep us in water except we have a reserve, it is their place to furnish each family pay ing their monthly rate of tax for water, with a receptacle, tank or whatever it may be' called, to hold the water, and thus, as Mr. Parker puts it, the plumb ers and carpenters who would "like the job just now of fixing up things," would be under everlasting obligations to the company for the "Jobs" thus given them; How many poor families living in rented houses can afford to take the bread out of their children's mouths to furnish work for impecunious plumbers and carpenters so as to supply the faml- lv water? No! No! Mr. Parker, it is the place of the board of water commissioners to furnish the city of Astoria with an abundant supply of water. Why don't you do It? A still indignant HOUSEKEEPER.
