Mr. Wean Aimwem "W" In a Teine Pointed Manner. "Why IoH "YV Prefer Ambimh, liiiHli-Whark-ingTactlra?" anil En. Enterprise: In last week's issue of your paper a flaming waterworks arti cle with sensational headlines, appeared, signed "W." I am assured that it- was written by J. W. Houghton, who had not the courage to sign it; who was not present at the meeting, ho misrepresents and who re ceived all of the information in regard to the same second-handed and distorted to suit his extreme and bitterpredjudices, in the case, and who then resorted to his den of "higher criticism," to write. Attention in this article is called only to his misrepresentations of my state ments at that meeting. Others will doubtless call his attention to his lack of candor in regard to what thoy had to say. Had he headed his article "Burles que" no attention would be given it. I shall not refer to his slurs and insin uations. I shall pass them over un noticed. He doubtless thinks them "cute" and shrewd, and I would not de prive him of the comfort and satisfaction he derives from such contemplation. As usual ho has chosen to make this a per sonal issue instead of a waterworks issue. He was at tho first public meeting and espoused the financial branch of the question, presenting a carefully pro pared jumble of figures, but when con fronted with an accurate, mathematical statement by Mr. Webster, which was fair to both projects and which dissipat ed Mr. Houghton's statement into "thin air." Mr. Houghton took to his den and refused to attend the subsequent meet ing, either to acknowledge his errors or manfully, in open meeting, to defend his position. Why does Mr. Houghton shrink from an open, manly discussion of this ques tion in a public meeting? Why does he prefer the ambush,bush-whacking tactics, to those of legitimate warfare? If the cause for waterworks is feasible and practicable, why resort to personal ities and misrepresentations? Such tac tics are evidences of weakness and of a poor cause. If Mr. Houghton has noth ing better to offer than misstatements, as a dernier resort, it would be better for his cause to keep silent. The tactics he uses nre not unknown to the legal profession, and an attorney for the defendant in a lawsuit is said to have handed the banister his brief marked . "no case; abuse the plaintiff's attorney," but I had hoped for better things from Brother Houghton. Not one sentence, purporting to give what I said at said meeting, is correct or has the least semblance of truth as re ported by Mr, Houghton. What I did say was given in substance correctly by the editor in his report of the meeting, In my short talk that evening I called the attention of the taxpayers to the fol lowing mistakes made by the engineer employed by the council, and having re& ommended Mr. Chapin to the council, I deemed it but right and proper to call at tention to his many errors for which he has been paid over $300: First: In his first report to the council, signed and published by him, he unqual ifiedly states: "The area of the water shed Is ample, being about four square miles." Second: At the called meeting of the council, March 9, after his engineer had again surveyed paced off the same watershed that was said to contain about four square miles, Mr. Chapin stated, that there were only 1000 acres in the watershed, a mistake of just 15(50 acres, there being 1050 acres less in the area of the watershed than first reported to the council. Third: At this same meeting, aud also in private conversation with the mayor, Mr. Chapin stated that the average depth of the water in the pond when full would be eleven feet. It is now admitted by all that he was mistaken just four feet, as the average dep th when the pond is full can be but seven feet. Fourth: At the same meeting in answer to one of the written questions, asking if there was not danger of the pipes becom ing clogged, etc., he said that there was not any such danger; there being such a great velocity that the moving water would keep the pipes clean, stating that the velocity was so great that it would be sufficient to move a stone along, stating that the velocity would be thirty feet per minute, and then taking time to com. pute, said, or 1800 feet per hour. Of course this was a careless statement aud a mistake on his part. It does not re quire much intellect to discover the error, and 1 am surprised that even Mr. Hough ton failed to see it. . But Mr. Houghton tells m "there has been a change in natural philosophy aud the laws of physics." I am aware that Mr. Houghton claims to hove found great errors in the laws of Moses; but wan not aware before that ho had directed his researches to errors in the laws of physics. Iamverygladtohave learned this and trust that he will give us sufficient notice to adjust ourselves, be fore doing away with the general laws of gravitation and attraction. Of course it is a mere question of time, for nil things are possible with Mr. Houghton! Fifth: Mr. Chapin olso stated at this - meeting, that the nnfllteral water from this pond would be good foj drinking and cooking purposes. Is not this a mistake? Or has Mr. Houghion in his exhaustive researches discovered some new law of inoculation whereby stagnant pools of water may in the twinkling ot an eye become purified? I have no doubt that if Mr. Houghton had given as much attention to the mis takes of the engineer as he has given to the mistakes of Moses he might be able to convince us all, that notwithstanding the engineer has made so many vital errors, we should trust in him and should hasten to bond our corporation for $50, 000 additional indebtedness, not know ing whether his estimates for amount of water needed, or capacity of pond, are any more reliable than the other errone ous estimates made by him. Come out to the meetings hereafter Mr. Houghton. Discuss matters like other men. No one will hurt you. All will respect you the more, than if you under take to protect yourself by "I was told so." Those who have ears, let them hear for themselves. By the way, Mr. Hough ton, you ore in the sermon business some what nowadays, and I would most re spectfully suggest as a finale that you study that sermon, especially that por Statement of Receipts and Expenditures of the Village ing the third Monday Balance on hand last settlement Received from County Auditor Received from U.
