The water works board present th following very cogent reasons in fsvM of water works: 1. Hardly a city of the sise and business Importance of Fort Wayne is without a system of water works. 2.

A large part of tbe city is unprotected from fire cisterns or any water supply, except from wells. At recent flntu tha chief ensrtneer has had to use SSKT XKfiS consideration by every wxpayerm elty park, located in the ninth ward, between the Jfori, wayne, vacsaoa Saginaw E. maUjUfoy Run, and Feeder. The wells are to be sunk on the park ground near the oanu at Rnv itun. and from the pumping works an auxiliary pipe will extend to the St.

Joseph Biver, tapping inai stream a short distance above th French Brewery. The proposed site of the reservoir Is in the 7th ward, at the intersection of Lafayette and Taper streets, which is the highest point of ground in the city and will afford an ample head of water for all purposes, domestic and fire. The total length of T'P according to this plan (including the Nebraska addition,) will be a little more than twenty five miles. Elsewhere we reprint J. u.

wos report, which will be found to contain all the desired information on the subject, and which gives in detail, all particulars as to. the cost, extent, capacity, of the proposed works. The report should be carefully read by every citizen of Fort Wayne. The importance ox the subject demands its patient and tkla MM twti. UXVUU I.UI.

If water works are net built, about $30,000 will have to be expended in the construction of cisterns; petitions for which are now before the council, awaiting the decision of lie people upon water works. i. If our largest manufacturing es tablishments and railroad shops are destroyed by fire, we can hardly ei seet them to be rebuilt where they eannot have such protection most Slues snora.

8. We hare gone bravely through the bard times; tbe future looks brighter to all classes. Let ui keep Fort Wayne growing, for as she is an fnjanu city, she can only grow by the push, Industry and intelligent co operationoperation of her citizens, 9. The affairs of our city have been well managed during the past six years, and we are confident that our pity ymcers will ice that Water works, if built now, will be well and economically built. 10.

Mr. CM. Barbob makes an esti iate (hat even if water works did not sayssirf income at all, and the interest a the bonds, should be $18,000, it would require only an addition to the tax the presentvaluation, Off 1 cents sndiS) mills on the $100; that is, a property assessed at $1,000 woedd be charged only II.S3J. Hut we have goad reasons fer believing Ijhat with so many manufacturing interests, to supply, water works will be wltupportJng inside of three years after completion. Read Mr.
