The Bulletin had no Intention of smmenting upon the report of the rter commissioners, feeling that the tigens wero capable of determining ist what they preferred in the way f an additionai water supply upon e facts s glanc swer the commissioners’ ve were surprised to find this eclaration in the eighth paragraph: A former board of water comm ioners Lad adopted Stony brook as an sdditional source of supply, and their ction had been disapproved by a wrgely attended city meeting. This is & mistake which needs cor- scting The water commissioners aid accept Stony brook as an additional source { water supply in the 90's. So did the court of commeon council the eity of Norwich. So Ald the citizens in public meet- ng assembled. Thus endorsed, the water commis- sioners petitioned the legislative for o power to issue bonds to meet the cost 90,090—and legislative permission given, and the authorities ordered the bonds and they were printed and ered and were ready to be nego- tiated. it was when the water board was negotiating the sale of these bonds— holding a conference with bidders hers wd from Massachusetts—that Dr. Patrick Cassidy as a taxpay yuponent of the plan swore out an ir unction and put an end to all th ad been done.

We do not have to go out . and drum up business—it is a fixed matter, and the true thing to do is to conduct it with the least possi- ble cost comsistent with the health, happiness and well heing of the who'e community. That means intrusting it to men of proven ability whom we can hold responsible for the best obtain- able results or else discharge them, not at the end of a long term, but whenever they show they are not at- tending strictly to our business. “Will the plan of a commission form of government help to that end?’ 1t is well to remember that water will e only to the level of its source, and it is also true that no government will be in any way superior to the men who are chosen to administer jt.

SAY GOOD THINGS —of the— ROSE ‘OF NEW ENGLAND 1 is not so infrequently that some local enthusiast will complain that the press does not speak well of Norwich as often as it should—that the papers should always be booming their own town. The press has never com- plained because of the criticism, and it is undeniable that it has thought that it was never speaking against the interests of Norwich. The Bulletin recognizes that it would be a good thing if the people who feel like speaking a good word now and then would write an interesting letter for publication. | We know how the average man and woman shrinks from publicitys and | therefore those who prefer'to use a pen name can do so without hesitancy, since this fashion prevailed in the day of Addison’s Spectator and has been constant in literature and in letters to the press ever since.
