Show WATER MOTOR. The publishers of the Leader have petitioned the city council to make with them the necessary special contract for water from the water works to run a water motor such as would be necessary for a power printing press. Some members of the council expressed the fear that the question of water motors to be fed from the city water works, might yet become a serious one, and as the present case was a precedent, it was referred to a special committee, with the Mayor as chairman. For our own part, we think the capacity of the water works amply sufficient to meet all demands, water motors included, that will exist for many years. |
