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

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

part of a few persons, to “do up’’ the
water commission.
