Tho letters of Mr George II Chaso

man bas been given control ot tbo water
works who coins to lmaglno that bis
principal business is to harass thu men
who aro taxed to p y lor tho water
works and who as such taxpayers aro
the real Owners ol that property His
notion in regard to his relations to tho
texpayc s and waterusers ot this city
appears to be that ho is a high and
ralRbty boss and they but his creatures
who aro allowed to nsa tbo public water
by his gracious snffertneo
I can recall an luatunco wbero a busi
ness firm of this city was temporarily dis
abled by having he water cut off that
they used In running tbelr machinery It
was done because tbo water was allowed
to run in tho privy vault which was
necessary to keep it clean Without wait
ing to bear an explanation tbo water was
stealthily cut off and to tho appeals and
protests of tho victim answer was modo
that It might bo turned on next day when
they got time to attend to it In tbo
mcantitnotbe machinery of the establish
ment was stoppod and business brought
to a stands ill
Tho people of Fort Worth lrtvo not for
gotten that it was through the IrabeUllty
of this administration that tbo city is now
