MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. Dunkirk's Water Works and Electric Lighting Plant. The City Has Profited hy Controlllnj and Mis- Both Personal Mention1 cellancoua News. Anrll I Dunkirk's unlclpal Iwater and electric light plant Is receiving the highest compliments from elites of greater size and at a considerable dis- fcince, i where some of its very desirable feat ures have been Incorporated into their own municipal The water supply, which Is taken from Lake Erie, has 4een pronounced "free from matter deleterious to health," by as high chemical authority as there is In i lie country, and the Hoard of Water Commissioners has now nearly completed improvements for obtaining the supp.y from deejier Water that wlU prevent It becoming rolled In stormy weather. Although' the claim Is well substantiated by statistics that muddy water is not necessarily deleterious, it Is certainly more Uigiveable to have clear water to drink.

The ex-r tension of the Intake pipe to a point 5,000 feet from he shore will soon be eompleted with a filtering crib having an area of square feet, protecting a three-foot pipe whose opening will be further guarded from the entrancej of objectionable matter by a cap With quartjer-Inch perforations. Just here a circumstance may be uientlomed that Is well caluculated to show a most, excellent feature connected With the obtaining of the "water supply in Winter, 'rlie) newer of the two old cribs was constrtwited; several years ago. on the same principle that will control the building of the new one, and there has never been any trouble, on account of the intake. plje hiring' choked with anchor lee, such as has occurred -at many other places, on the Great Ijakes "where other lans Wjjre in use. As the new crib is dicing built' -by contractors who put ju the old one, that has proved so a tils factory, -there is 4 comfortable feeling of certainty that Jt will be corresponding success.

The upon which the safety from (Wttieurty with anchor Ice depends. Is ex-pralned by the contractors to lie ine fact that when the lce -clo-es. around the crib, K-s area Is so great In comparison wiith that of the opening of the intake pipe, that water will percolate through the ice so that the Ice will not interfere. It is reported that all tlie initake pipes- on Lake Michigan wcce 1ioked by anchor lee last winter, except constructed on the plan' adopted for the Dunkirk Another circumstance that tends to emphasize Dunkirk's satisfaction In the mailt er of its water sun-piy is, embraced the following oplriion expressed by lireymanu, one of the contractors who has been engaged for niany years in putting in water works along tlie Great Lakes: "According to the princlrile that sunlight and motion tend to purify water. Lake Erie 'Can be eoneidere.l aS furnishni? the purest water of any of the Great Lakes, and best adapted to household for it is he shallowest of the Great Lakes.

There Is a -better chance for the sunlight and the motion produced by wind-stortns. In addition to such under-current as exists, to act -upon tlie water." With the extension completed, in connection with the new pump well, a new pump of sumcient capadtv to meet the-growlng demand of the city and the new and improved smoke-stack tn furnish the rlsht draught for the furnaces, PuiikJirk -will have reason for and thanks will be due to an able Water ltoard. "The ltoard, as a most Important factor in the city's welfare, stauds high in the respect of the citizens, lSwides: superinteudtng the supply of wludesome water to the city, the Hoard of Water i loiiimlsslonor also has charge of the electric litrht plant for lighting the streets arc light, iiy uniting the two plants in the same" building and utilizing the same power, much expense Is saved to the citizens. The same will be the case with the furnishing of incandescent lighting for public buildings aud for commercial lighting, which -the Hoard purposes doing and which it would have done a long time ago if it had not been stopped by an Injunction obtain. -d by the friends ot private companies.

This hindrance was discouraging to a Hoard That -was endeavoring with praiseworthy-enterprise to keep pace in the ranks of the 'world's great march of progress. When the Injunction Was removed by the courts, the general li financial depression made It apparent thai the same consideration which would be exercised for private business, required a postponement of this onward step to a more convenient season, especially as the Board was and Is etlll engaged with the extensfiui of the water system As far as Dunkirk has gone with muiik-lpal control of water and electric light works, the expense is shown to be decidedly less than it Would have been by a private corporation by comparison of exact statistics with reports fron cities supplied by private companies, and there Is. every reason to believe that the, same good service and economy' will extend to" the incandescent lighting. If Dsnklrk had gone on with its incandescent i light plant when first proposed, it would have' been more experimental than it will be now, for the experience of cities large and small, as well as villages, all over the country, from the Atlantic to the -Pacific, have by experience proTed the advantage of the measure. i Christinn Endeavor The Chautauqua County; Christian Endeavor Cnlan will hold Us afmuaj convention In I)nn-klrj next Wdnesdny and Thursday.

John imide a will, giving Miss Uobortson the use of her house during the hitter's lifetime'. The testratr.ix survived the executor tfhe named in iier and an administrator was appointed.
