From all points of our country
comes the statement that the natural
water supply is diminishing. it lube
one largest and most important prob
lem before the whole nation today. The
lack of wstor would paralyze and ruin
any place. it is the most valuable
usoet that any city can have. being
worth more than all other things comv
billed.
South Nor-walk has an ideal water
system; it is Very doubtful if its equal
can be found in any city of its site

Board of Wnter Commissioners have
done splendid work and secured
grand results both for the present and
the future and no hoard deIorIreI larg-
er credit than the present one now

merit, The momantouu question at
the present time is the bent and most

In every suite in the Union it has
beou33proven by practical (ionionstm-
tlcu that the motor system is the
only impartial and honest why of
selling water. There are about 3.000.-
000 water motors in operation through
out llw several oldies at the present
time. Some limpet) meters were in-
