CANTONS' WATER SUPPLY.

Company's Alleged Slackness and Contempt.

The Water supply in Canton has, says the Cantem Times, long been understood as one of the three worst institutions of the City.. Inhabitants have been Buffering from lack of a good and sufficient water supply. Since the founding of the Municipality, the authorities of the Department of Public Utilities have made thorough investigations Into the conditions of the Water Supply Co. with the result that slight Improvements are felt by the con suming public. The Company was recently fined $500 for violation of the Governor's order by over- charging the consumers to the sum of over $14,000. The Com-' рапу was instructed to burn good coal in order to keep up the steam pressure to 110 pounds per square inch for the water pump as is required by the regulations. Last Monday, the Municipal authorities upon personal inspect- ion stopped the unloading of one junk load of coal of the poor| grade, which could only produce about 70 steam pressure to poundA

Realizing the continuous slackness and contempt on the part of the Water Company, and knowing the crying need of the people, the Mayor yesterday gave orders to the Department of Public Utilities to take drastic action and instructed the Com-) pany immediately to comply with the Municipal Regulations,

with the choice of a penalty of $500 each time if the steam pressure is found to be below the standard.
