Supply Of Water.
TO THE EDITOR OF TUEB TIMES. Sir,-The inhabitants of the metropelis are nmuch interested in a question relating to the defective supply of water wltich at present occupies the public mind, Whilst the water-workis of Londoe.. bridge were in operation, the pipes from the New River Compnny were constantly supplied day and ?it' t; but imsmediardytbebhfrnrer ceased, the New River Company alleged they bad not waterenoitgh to rupply the entire demand day and night, and have ever since ordered their itirneocks to turn off the water about five or six o'cloei every evening. T'hose inhabitants who, relying upon the former constant supply, were unprovided witb cis- terns. have experienced the greatest inconvenience-an inconveni- ence to wrhiich, as mere leaseholders, or tenants at wilL, they ought nOt to be subjected for the sole purpose of ertabling the Nrie River Companv, by a deviation fiom the accustomed anti long-pre- vailing modle of supply, amounting almost to a legal prescriptior, to enrich themselves. But whatever. may be tde case in referetce to mere private inconvenience, the danger lo propertypnd to the public is great in the extreme. Suppose every flowse in a 1haputlous distict, rxgrntifi that of Cripple,nse, furnished with a moderate-sized cis. tern, vtat use would they be of to stop the raivages of a fie? Alu(h mnischief has already occurred; ,nd if some mezsures zre not im?ne- diately devised to counteract th;e avarie of the New River Company, wfhole streets my, and probablv will, be burned' dowr danvng the ,r,:inlP ins. Tt. i, c,n,v ,,t s,nse of' the meSit easitalists do not turn their attention to this subjeCL Youis, 8u: CIV'S. SU'PPLY f' IWATER.
