VERY HARD LINES.

¦TO THB EDITOR OF Tttß - EVENING POST. Sir,**-! am one of those foolish petsons who filled up a good well, because I got the water laid on to my- house from . the , Corporation Reservoir. I had to pay something like £5 to have the pipes put down to my place, as I live a little off the Main Road. Well sir, after paying the aforesaid sum, and filling in the .aforesaid good well/ is'nt it haifd that my wife can hardly get enough water to wash my clothes.. , If things dotft'^fer shortly, I think I will give vp 1 the' Corporatidn, 'and start a Water-works for'niyself; - '" - ' ' ' " •''¦*.''¦! lam ten., Wabhino Tub.
