Will it not be Pradtleablet , The above inquiry is asked our Town Council in refere'ne to putting in order the well in front of our Town Hall. The well ought to be tepaired, and we suggest the matter to our City Fathers. A gentleman has authorisea us to say that he Will give a rbpo tor the purpose stated-nothing then remains but to have the well cleaned and two buckets agached, as the hook and wheel still re njairi. The residents in that vicinity are de #endnnt upon a kind neighbor for a sup. ply of water,- while a public well is al, lowed to remait in a condition that every day makes the purity of the water wmtse and thecost of putting in repair higher. - Will not our City Fathers Wtke the matter in hand ? It will not only to a benefit to thoe travelling public, buit a source of great comlort to the residents of that neighberhdod. We hope, for the benefit of all, our Chief Heads will give their attention to this subject. While on this. point we will again call attention to the dangerous condition of the old well near the Baptist Church. A broken limb, or even worse, the loss of life, may befall some of the many children playing in that neighborhood. Has not out Town Council the interest of the people 'at heart? If so, they will speedily cause to be put in repair the - evils we have complained of. We shall See. Meeting of the Legislature.
