Excerpt from Remarks on the Present Project of the City Government for Supplying the Inhabitants of Boston With Pure Soft Water The Act which has recently been obtained from the Legislature, for supplying the City with Pure Water, is soon to be submitted to the inhabitants, for approval or rejection. Their action upon it will be final, and, moreover, will conclude interests of greater magnitude than any which have yet been affected by a popular vote, since the organization of the City Government. My connection with the Council, the past year, as a member of the Board of Aldermen, has necessarily given me some opportunities, not enjoyed by others, of forming a judgment upon the whole subject of the water movement, and, as there are some indications that the public mind is now disposed to consider this matter with somewhat of the attention and calmness which its magnitude and importance imperiously demand, I am induced to make a few remarks upon its present character and position. Some of the projectors and zealous friends of Long Pond, have chosen to adopt the opinion, which they have been studious to enforce, as far as possible, that all persons who have opposed that project, or who, perceiving objections to some portions of it, have desired further investigation, are necessarily opposed to bringing water from abroad, from any source, and have no sympathy whatever for those among us who are deprived, in whole or in part, of this great blessing.
