Now, thir taw, >ta purposes. ia a very wide and cool to made to covet .territory. No on* questions tto right of tto tax payer to wash hi* automobile, water hi* row, bis lawn, his flower garden and do a hundred other (hint-* with the water Bat the tax payer ha* a rifcht to en ter an objection to a wanton waste of water where it doe* no one any gOod. not even the «nan who wastes K. The .writer knows af a case where, some years ago. a citiien neg lected to remedy some defect in his yard spigot and permitted tt, to ran a constant stream of water at all times thus running his arater bill •p as much as three or four dollars a month more than it should have bean. Tlie flttwa was an Indifferent about the matter that he paid the bill for the wasted water and seemed to think nothing of it. Now, has the town any right to permit a citiien to waste tto water in this way even if to is paying for it? We think not. We suspect that if an inspection of tto town was made and all nsalas* of water stopped and all etti mformed aa to what purposea sn to uaed it would go a long way in helping to solve tto present .x.
