Pump Needs Attention. To the Editor : It seems very strange that the Aldermen should put such stress on the sanitary condition of the streets and private yards, but neglect the water that tho citizens have to drink in tbe suburbs of the city.. The- pump on the corner of Newbern avenue and Swain street is ft disgrace to the bity and menace to the health of that neighbor hood.
