Whether the present j- pource of supply would not be endangered by such contract, oneyfIn reference to the first matter, it ft coi r s well to remember that citizens ot 1**?' he town are now paying for water, .for j.j cents per 1.000 gallons, up to 1*^.000, then 30 cents on each 1,000 M*'n excess, the rate diminishing in proportion, but no water, in any Iej quantity, at present, is furnished to 'Citizens, or non-residents, at the onprQremely low rate of seven cents. The in^er ity is now furnishing water to nonPesidents at the rate of 50 rents per 1? Thousand gallons up to 2.000 w'th, P^'tfterhaps a diminishing rate for all in r?P- xcess of that quantity. The ques'Anotlon naturally arises why should fir stuch discrimination he made in favor viateif other non-residents in the mill disflRoieiriet, as against citizens of the town The nd other non-residents who are no\> iessteing charged so much higher rate.j ice <nd it helng taken into consideration.! gwr.^so that citizens h ve the burden of flying taxes on property and bonds* |K?!n If water <3 to he furnished tr>( fty^utners at the mill, why should it; iid be dpne directly and at the lied t Pr'ce now furnished to nonf yQt)nt consumers? hav? may?r stresses the fact that -tree hoty 's al'eady furnishing the io?. a? first mill, I.. & C. rell'o <1 and ff ufacturlng plants at 7 cents nor "isand gallons.
