The gross debt of the city of New York is now in the
neighbourhood of Sl4633,ll9, large sum, Of which
$l5759oo has been created for the introduction
ton water into the city This. undoubtedly, is Of vast
benefit to the community and may be well to look back
little at its cost The project Of introducing water has
been foot 10 years more but until 1882 did the
plan now accomplished take definite form. On the first

passed by the Common Council that the electors of the
city should express their assent otherwise the pro-

money for ordinary purposes could not be had--when
banks and individuals persisted in myriads.
To have built work a cost and without en-
