We are sorry to see this hauling and pulling, beefing and belly aching, kicking and scrapping, by a few persons to “do up’’ the water commission. As we have often pointed out. the water question was started out in a “do up’’ spirit, and that is now in­ tensified by a few others going into the “do up” fight. It is to the best interest of the city and the taxpayers that the water commission, as at present consti tuted. should act for the city in the con­ struction of a w ater system, and those who are objecting to it are not doing so in the interest of the city, but to vent some personal spleen or to “do up’* those who cannot be control by any faction or party.
