What's the Matter ?
We learned from Marshal Spair,
yesterday, that there is a shortage of
water in the stand pipe, notwithstand
ing the fact that the volume of water
being taken now is mucli less than it
was last winter, when all the hotels
were running. The pumps then kept
a lull supply of water; now, however,
with both pumps running, ‘ and the
diminished supply being taken, the
stand pipe cannot be kept full—what’s
the matter ? The matter should be
investigated. There is an impression
that there are some bad leaks some
where. The question of an ample
supply of water, at all times, for fire
and other purposes, is a mos: impor
tant one.
