The Crotou Water.

We heartily concur in the general view tnkcn ~
the Courier Of tie proper mode of paying the heavy
interest and charges on the magnificent enterprise
of supplying our City with the Croten Water
No mode can be 50 fair. so just, SO benehcent, as
that of assessing this cost upon the whole City
under proper conditions. The whole City direct
ed the undertaking of the work by distinct end
overwhelming popular vote; ths whole City must
and should reap the benefit Of it; the Whole City
should pay the cost of it. To attempt TO assess
the whole charge upon those only who choose to
take the water will result in the refusal of one
half TO take, while the price at which the residue
afford to take 1t will not nearly pay the interest
on the Debt. Then shall have 10 raise Half
Million year to make up the deficiency BY
a direct tax, .hSst on those who have the
and have ALREADY been charged fer IL secondly
upon those who have it not, and derive but ro-
mote benefit from tin both cases matter Of
hardship.
But the Courier's article would seem TO con-
template an equal assessment upon all the lots in
the City (at least in the compact part of t) sufh
cient to pay the entire expense of the Works,
which would thus be betrayed from that sourre
alone. This would not be fair nor just Those
who use an extra quantity Of water (as we Pur-
pose to do) should pay an extra charge for it; a
hve-story house should pay more than two-'tOry
or a vacant lot H; a house down town where the
water was greatly needed more than one in the
Sixteenth Ward. where the ordinary fluid from
the wells is decen,ly drinkable. As the Git, eN-
tends up town, the now upper Wards become CEN
,rsl and compact, their we'll water less cndmable
and the danger irors fire greater, the watcrrate
be medihed according y.-This it what. on
hssty consideration, seems to Us the fair thing. -
The adjustment of the wa,er-tsx will be matter
OF some difficulty, requiring ability and judgement
in the authorities, with ibershty and an unselfish
love OF justice is the People 1t is hardly pos,-
bic that some will not feel sggrieyed even though
the bes, is done that can be-
