For several days during the past week the Vernon Water Works system has not ben furnishing its patrons with water. There 13 undoubt
edly a lack of enlcioncy somewhere, and when anything goe3 wrong the place to lay the blame is with the
management, which in this case la he city council. Whenever a municipality owns a public utilitv. it la
certainly the duty of the officers ox that municipality to look after the interests of its tax-payers, and in th matter of the water works, u
certainly the duty of the council to
;ee to it that there is sufficient water
to not only furnish water to thos
wno nave paid tor their water in advance, but to' also furnish us with fire protection. The whole matter ia
in the hands of the council. If the
job is too big for them why in th-
world do they not call for help. Suiw
ccuug ui citizens to talK over
the matter would do no harm, and
some good may come out of it
