Supervisors Cannot Act Alone.
One township Supervisor cannot act alone
in making cottracla, so Judge Swaru, of
Montgomery county, has just decided in the
suit of William Little against the towaship
of I-wer Men on, brought to compel the
psy meat of $TCt-"i for crushed stone sold to
Supervisor Duncan for the townsh'p with
out tbe consent or knowledge of A. J. Cas
att, the other Supervisor.
The decision of the court is based cpon
tbe proposition that while one Supervisor
may provide for ordinary highway repairs,
he cannot under the law eater into any such
deliberative contract as the purchase of ma
terial to macadamize a road, since "the unit
ed wisdom of supervisors, legislators and
conventions" h not been able to designate
what roads, if any in the country, should
be macadamized. J'idgment for the defense

Onions too Strong for the School
M arm.
Miss M. D. Merrill, a teacher in Oakley
school, Chicago, sends home the boys and
girls who come to school laden with the odor
of onions to change their breath. One of
the patrons took issue with Mise Merrill oa
receiving the following note with bis boys
who bad indulged ia the festive vegetable :
"It is too cool ia my room most of tbe
time to have the wiadows open, and toe
broath of your children after taiing onions
makes the air very oJensive."
Superintendent Love, however, decided
that the onion has rights that even a school
teacher must respect and reproved Miss
Merrill for seeding it borne.

WET OB DRY?
Everybody at Sea as to thw Out
come of Saturday's Election.
The voter of this town caa always be re
lied upon to take aa active interest in aa
election, ao matter what macaer cf mea or
principles are involved. Tbe mere fact of
voting, of discharging the highest right aad
privilege of free men. ia incentive enough to
draw them to the polls. The election to be
held next Saturday, for the purpose of de
ciding whether or not the borough shall be
bonded to establish a system of water works
has probaUy crean J more disr-ossioa than
say election ever held ia Somerset.
This is proper, however, inasmuch as tbe
question is one directly arTerting the inter
ests of every property owner, sad ia the eoo-
si deration of which the voter should care
fully wetgh his own and bis town's interest
before casting his ballot. Advocates on both
sides continue to claim a majority, while
cooserrative voters, who have refrained from
expressing their sentiments agree that the
majority is likely to be from Z to 00 either
way.
Come in," said the good-aatarsd shop
keeper to our reporter one evening during
the week. The water works question is ia
full blast, and I think I can find a seat for
yon oa as empty fish barrri."
The invitation was sccepted, but the
porter was too late to nave a voice ia the
vote that had just been takea, aad which
resulted ia IS to 2 against water works, but
climbed into tbe seat designated, and follow
ing are s few of the remarks he overheard
aa they fell from tbe lips of the gentlemen
surrounding the store stove.
" For pure, unadulterated ignoranre," said
the maa with the high tenor voice, " the
sanitary improvement it is claimed water
works will effect in the town, takes the cake.
Look at the gutters aad dnias as tter are
at present, aad think of the complaint that
has been going up to the town council for
years about their foul condition, and then
stop to consider what their condition will be
if all these people ap street have all the wa
ter they caa use. A mere statement of facts
ought to satisfy aay reasonable person tha:
the health of tbe town will be ia far greater
peril after the introduction of water than it
is at present, unless sewers are put in at the
same time water is.
" I can't for the life of me enderstand,'
said the boom town man, why certain par.
ties in this Iowa are opposed to water works,
and I have no respect for their opinions.
They are so confounded miserly that they
can't think of having their taxes increased
aod are so ignorant that they cannot appreci
ate the benefit water works woui 1 be to Som-
eret. Tbe town authorities have expended
a considerable sum of money ia having a
survey of Kimlieriy run made, and estimates
furnished as to the probable cost of tbe wa
ter works, aad I think they should be sus
tained by tbe voters of the borough, at the
election next Saturday. If the question car
ries, there will at least be aa effort made to
introduce water into our town. That will
be a great step forward, and will lift as out
of the rut we have been ia for the last hua
dred years. There caa be no o lost ion but
that tbecitizsas of the town will vote for
water, by a large majority.
Tbe cracker-barrel man aervocsly exchang
ed a great chew of "Climax " from one side
of his mouth to the other, aad after the
enthusiastic young speaker quoted above
had found a eat oa top of aa applebutter
keg. said : I hardly anppxee your remarks
were intended lor me, because I own very
little property, bat many of you fellows wbo
are bellowing for water works own none at
ail. Now, there are two aides to every ques
tion, aad it isn't right that the motives of
men wbo don't think as you do. should
be impugned aad tbe characters of the men
themselves be assailed by irresponsible par
ties wbo own no property, and who have
nothing at stake. It is the future property
owners we have to look after, aod when it
comes to aasumiag a deb! of $JT, , or more,
they have s right to know how that money
u to be expended, or whether it is to be
squandered.
This is a very grave question," pat ia
the aiaa with a drawl, aad one thu I think
many of our people have failed to properly
consider. At least one-half of the people
Lviag in Somerset doubt whether it is practi
cable to get a supply from that swamp
drained, black-water stream even though
the water should prove to be Ct for domestic
a sc. Now, it is reported that the town au
thorities will not iarestigate aay other meth
od of introducing water, aod tbe question
that we taxpayers have to solve is, are we
going to empower the tuwa authorities to
expend a large sum of money in attempting
10 do something that will ia all probability
prove a failure 7 It is indeed a very serious
question, gentlemen, aad one that we should
ail carefully consider before we vote for it."
You are wroag-shipped, eatire'y, old fel
low." said the freckle-nosed maa. The
Kimberiy run scheme is the only one under
consideration by the lowa authorities, sim
ply because no others have been otTered, and
until some one otfers them a better system
than the Kimbetly ran one, why, of course,
that's the one they 'll adopt.'
" Wei!, I should like to know," screamed
bow-legs, from the far end of the store, where
be was admiring aa assortment of candy
hearts the favortte Christmas present of hs
boyhood whether the borough authori
ties didn't expend !j to hare tbe Kimber
iy run territory surveyed, and for having aa
estimate made as to the probable cost of pip
ing that muddy water into town? Do they
expect every maa wbo chooses to ditTer with
the engineer wbo made the survey, to offer
something better, and at his own expense 7
Why, it is simply preposterous in them to
insinuate such a thiing, if, indeed they have.
Haven't they got the same authority to in
quire into the feasibility of supplying the
town with water from drilled wells pumped
on to Tayman' hill which, by tbe way.
many of the best men ia town think to be
the ouly proper aad practicable way of ever
securing a water supply that they had to
employ an engineer lo make a survev of
Kimberiy ran? The borough authorities
have the power to investigate all measures
in this regard that appear practicable, and it
is hardly fair, as I look at it, ia them to ask
tbe voters to authorize the hsueof bonds un
til after they have examined every possible
method of introducing water into town, and
then have adopted the best and cheapest
system. I have due respect for the opinions
of tbe burgess and town council, and they
should have tbe same eotusideraiioa for the
opinions of those wbo ditTer from them. I'm
Oppoted to every question until I know what
tbe question is, aad that's the reasoa why I
am opposed to voting for the issue of bor
ough bonds for water ; no one knows where
the water is to come from."
" If tbe town daddies had the authority to
employ aa engineer to survey Kimberiy run,"
said ragged whiskers, why haven't they
got the authority to mike a caa v as of the
town and ascertain how many persons will
take water at a fixed price ? Way shan't we
know what revenue caa be derived from
water works, aad bow nearly they caa be
made self-sustaining ? This whole business
reminds me of a child trriar to walk
before it can creep.
" Wby, as s nutter of course, the work
will be self-sustaining, and the saving tbe
twn will nuke in insurance rates will be
clear gain, said the boom town mac, " aod
next year we will have electric lights, with
the wire underground, and don't you forget
it"
" Tbe saving on insurance a the m t ab
surd claim about all this water works ques
tion," said the man cn the coal box, elevat
ing his " two-fr" on til the firesiaged bis
eyebrows. Advocatas of water do not claim
that the Kimberiy run system will famish
any fire protection worth talking about, and
even if it does tbe expense of keeping op fire
companies will more than off-set the saving
oa insurance.
Well, rrntlemen. I am honestly for wa
ter works," said the man with the crooked
neck, " and it doesal make much difference
where tbe water come from, if the supply i
sufficient, and it ia not too er pens' re. 1 do
not propose, however, to irscrease my taxes,
and the taxes of my neighbors, by voting for
msasrue that I know Bathing about, sad
eoDceraiag which I have so far been unable
to learn anything. It does seem to ne
those persons whaie urging this matter
have not made the proper uveatigatiot of all
matters to be considered before submitting it
to the people. There are many other ex
peases that most follow the introduction cf
water, and wc should certainly soow where
I the water is to come from, and what It is ro-
ing to east, before we consider these other
matters. Now, if the same interest was ta
kea in electric lights that then has been ia
wafer works, this ton would have been
lighted by electricity Ion-W bare one
of the prettiest little towas ia the Staff, acd
there is nothing too good for as, but remem
ber, we mast par for everything we get. I
have always found it s very good custom to
inquire the price of aa article before bcyiag
it, aad I should like to know aomethiax
about this water works question before I
ote for it.
"There has been a great deal of talk about
certain parties wanting to supply the town
with water aad ro the consumers." and
Whiskers. "All I've got to aay is that the
men so acenstd Lave done more for our town
than those who make the accusation, aad I
knew that the thought of putting ia water
works never entered their miads. But sup
pose what these blatherskites say is true, yoa
can rest assured that the people of the town
will not be asked for s cent until the water is
conducted to their doors, aad will be sup
plied as cheaply as the borough caa do it.
This statement is absurd, too, because when
private capital ha made no effort u build
work the borough is asked to spend $J7.
UO at the instance of a few fellows who
have nothing to lose and no taxes to pay.
That's decviedly the better way to took at
the matter.
1 hare heard the wildest statements as to
the way tbe vote will be on this question
I have ever beard ia my life," said s promi
nent young county, officia wbo has had a
fair share of political experience. "I made
a poll of the borough myself this afternoon,
snd unless I am badly rattled, the water
works question will be defeated by at least
fifty votes. Some of yoa fellows may con
aider this a bluff but I haven't asked a man
to vote against water and I don't intend to.
but that's tbe wsy it is going to stand.'
"It may be possible to get wait? from
Kimberiy run." said the maa with one gum
boot, "but we eaa never get it for any such
amount of mooey as it it claimed w can.
Look at Idford as aa illustration. Their
water supply cot them between e .-' aad
and if yoa can judge of tbe com
plaints one reads in the Beuiord papers the
works are always out of repair and there is
a scarcity of water. The great mistake Bed
ford made was in putting in four, six aad
eifc-hl inch main that are constaatly chok
ing np with sand, mad sod rust, aad conse
quently have to be taken up frequently. It
seems to me we can learn a good lesson from
Bedford mistakes, aod if we must pat in
water works, why let as raise enough money
to have everything done right aad not put
in pipes that will be sure to prove inade
quate and a cons tint source of annoyance
and expense."
Weil, the greatest objection I have to tha
borough patting in water works, said the
man with one pant-leg ia his boot, "is that
what is everybody's business is nobdy's
business. If our town council were salaried
ocers. aad if the burgess received s salary
worth having, Uiey might be expected to
devote some time to seeing that sii improve
ments they undertake for the public good
are conducted as economically as possible.
Of coarse tbe water works will be left to
contract, but wbo is to watch tbe con
tractor" Water works will be very burdensome to
the people wbo can't afford to as the
water," said the nail-keg man, ' and as I ana
one of that clas I am going to vote against
water."'
"Over ia Caiontowa,' said the cracker
barrel man, "the water company have served
notice on (he people that on and after A pril
1st they will look to tbe owner of property
for the payment of water rates, aod not to
the parties occupying tbe same a tenants,
which is only another argument why only
owners of real estate should be permitted to
vote aext Saturday."
"Well, brethren," said the secret-society
maa, "I can't help but think that if we vote
for water and the question carries, it will be a
step that we wiil have reason to regret as long
as we live. I am aot opposed to the borough
putting in a plant, but I am opposed to our
expending the last cent the law will permit
us to, unless it is absolutely certain that the
supply will prove su 21 dent, that the pres
sure will furnish tire protection, and that
the cost will not be more than we caa afford.
Now, yoa all know that a thorough iavesti
galion of the diderent means of supplying
tbe lowa with water has not been made, aad
until it has been I shall not be satisfied."
"Yea, but the health of tbe town ia im
periied," said the boomtosa man, "and
water is the only thing that will sare cs
from an awful pestilence.'
"Ia my jaJgment," said tbe cracker-barrel
man. "the best means of preventing epi
demies of disease in our town will be for the
people to bring several more actions against
the borough authorities similar to the one
about to be returned to the court by the
borough constable."
"Good night '"said the jolly shop keeper
as he opened the door for the reporter to
pass oat. "I hope this discussion will stop
after the holidays, but I'm afraid if it does,
the "gang" will at once take op the qaettioa
of building s new school bouse and putting

Shall tha Town t- Bonded for
Water-works?
Ia fsocradering this question, ail must bear
ia mind that the town can only be beaded
by s majority rut uf its citiieas, aad the
nuajor.'ry vote, even though the same be but
one, will bind the minority. Let us coasd
er first where tbe water is to be procured.
As Car as the writer's inforscation goes.
Kimherly's Eaa" has beea decide. upon
aa the fountain bead for the cuppiy. Is
there enough water their far the purpose
The writer has c3 that rua, a?t cttce but
many times wbo fhe rut of a ui.'t cof
feepot would yitl J a Li,- r stream thva wss
Cowing in the run, for cone w as -ow leg,
the water, what little there was, stood ia
puddles assocg the stones. Had this occur
red bat once and ia a very dry time, the aa-
fitness of "Kimlierly's run' as a sourceof our
water supply would be derai.r. rated, for ia
a very d-y time is when the supply is spec-
tally needed.
Is the mxja of " Kimberiy 's run" pure
and suited for domestic use? Is a question
that ordinarily should b considered, but if
there is a deadeocy of watet for the purpose,
or evea if there be oacertaiaty as to the suf
ficiency, then " iHimber'y'j ma" is not the
place, aad under the circumstance the town j
should not l bunded.
Wherever water-works exist, to the writ
er knowledge, the water is an St to drink
without quantities of ice, aad is Dot nearly
so good as the water from wells. Besides
this the water is very frequently cocTiimiLa
ted, impure aad unlit for drinking purposes
until boiled. The only uses, sad the princi
pal reasons for urging the issue of bonds.
ar the necessity of water for the extinguish
ing of fires, for sprinkling the streets, and
about certain industrial establishments ia
the town, should the people be taxed be
cause water-works would add to the conve
nience of the few, or because insarance com
panies are said to tare threatened aa in
creas of rates ? Shall A, B, C, D, and others
pay water rales ia shape of taxes simply to
keep down the insurance rate on the proper
ty of E, F, aad others ? What will be the
effect on rents? To tbe writer there seems to
be no doubt that rents will be doubled in
case the meaaure of bondiag the town shall i
carry, perhaps more than doubled ; and the
reason for my position is the &ct that
property holders will have to pay more tax
than at present, and also where water is
piped ihrough tbe houses, there mu-t be a
direct outlay of a considerable amount of
money for the purpese. Ucau-e tbe mains
will merely peas along the street and the
pipe through which the water passes into
the houses aad all other connections must
be laid and made at the evpene of tbe prop
erty owner, who, as a matter of course, ex
pects to be reimbursed perhaps several
times 'for his ouliay. Who is to rtiruburs
bim ? Clearly the man that rents the prop
erty. Ia addition to all that I have said
there must be considered the oontingency 01
failure of the works to sup-!y the town . If
at so rue day, early or remote as rny be.
such a failure should Occur, what then?
Will the people vote another issue of bonis
in order to try another experiment ? There
is no such probability .
Some ssy, " vote the bonds aad leuve oth
er questions to be settled by the comrultue."
No busioees maa would act so. No busi
ness maa would put into the hinds of hi
agent a vast sum. and leave the -i.t to de
termine all the contingencies relating to tha
expenditure of th amount. Bat this is
precisely what the people arc asil to do in
this rase.
l et voters look over the matter calmly
aad carefully, as the writer has done, let
them weigh all the advantages and disad
vantages, let them count out so many dol
lars of iacresaed Tents, increased tax?:, in
creased expenditure for ice to cool th ir w a-
ter with agai&st the iaiasiDe-1 eon;t"oria o
water in the house, and they, part iculariy if
renter; of property, will decide as the wrier
has decided, to vote iniast the war tax .
