dune some of'Itbe pages of the book
from time to time In our daily issues.
thp first of which appears in today’s
paper. The public water system has

and, from it; first installation our city
its: never been without water. At
II any time .of day or night the simple
turn of the faucet is all that is requir-
edto supply the demands for .all uses
'of, water. Presumably there are very
few -of our citiiens who ever pause
a bestow ‘a‘pusing thought ‘or make
‘ n solicitous inquiry about who looks
after and directs the workings of the
puhllc‘water system: so that continual-
ly the supply is ever ready for use.
. During the thirty-five years existence
or the water works there have been
fifteen cltlsons of our city who have
done this work, twelve others beside
the present three members of the wat-
er board. These fifteen men have
given much of their time and thought
for the‘besi: Interest and good of the
‘ community and served without (‘OlliI
ponsation. The present members oi
the city board have worked together
for eight years. The beneficial things
that have been accomplished are fully
known and recognized by all. They are

vocation and applying without stint

It is stated that there is no‘beltvr
place to have illustrated the workings
of a public water system thanfiomh
Norwalk. The water works being «In.
erated exclusively for the benefit of
the people, the results furnish valu-
able and reliable data that is not gen-
erally obtainable. The contents
ihls souvenir book presents a "mlil'd
of
amount of information concerning w.t»
fer supplies and water rates, With 1'
consumption and water meters, unit
the hope that it. may be of Intel-w.
to the reader. 'l‘be making of a any
is its public utilities, the tillage poriit- i-
patetl in by everybody, whether m I
or poor. landlord or tenant. The mo- '
important and essential is public nIII
tor. An abundant supply of pure wnlw
is the foundation, nerve force II.-l
heart, action of a city. No city of an.
size can exist without it. All of III .
utilities that are public necessitiI.
should be conducted by and in the in.
terest of the people. With marreinus
progress in our country along otlIIII-
lines, it is humiliating to know Iiiill
the conduct of our municipal affairs
generally are backward and “finally--
factory. South Norwalk can point wit 'I
pride to the results that have hIIIIII
achieved along municipal ownerahiiI
lines. The things already accomplish-
ed. with their splendid results to ilII-
people, speak more loudly and persua-
sively than any array of arguments
that could be presented. South NIII‘~
walk stands today a banner city.
We giro below some extracts from
"We are In receipt of a very beauit
iul book, entitled ‘South Norwalk‘s
Public l'tilitics.’ It surely sets forth
'Itiractions of your city in a ver_\
