| REPORT OF THE CRoToN BoARp-MoDE OF
RAISING REvENuE-In giving synopsis OF
the report Of the Croton Aqueduct Board
Yesterday, we did not notice that part OF
II which relates TO the much discussed ques-
| ton Of the best mode Of raising water revenue
To this question large portion of the report relates
arguing stoutly in defence OF the present system
Il complains of the agitation that has prevailed, and
the injury inflicted on the annual income from this
cause. which must be abandoned before the present
pan can be fairly tested II quite fair that those who
enjoy the great benefit Of the Croton water should
ply for it reasonable price, and certainly unjust in
any who are fairly liable TO the tax to avoid it BY
mean subterfuge and scheming. According to the
report many such abound in this city. Owners of
property display dsgracefui unwilllngness 10 put
up the necessary fixtures in houses let to tenants
who are, therefore, compelled TO solicit free use of
the hydrants which the law allows TO poor persons
Here Is an abuse of this law. 1t never was intend
ID TO screen owners of property from paying their
Just quota of the tax, and the law that can be so
avoided is not sufficiently extensive or stringent.
We do not assent TO all the Board says concerning
The abuse of free hydrants. waste of water is in
evitabe to greater or less degree in such large
city, and where the supply is copons as IL is IN
New York. If il can be stopped, well; if not, are
to curtail the free supply Of wafer 10 the poor,
by refusing applications for free hydrants! We hope
not generous supply of water TO those who are
unable pay for it is the first consideration, and
| surely ought to take the precedence OF that Of
revenue.
| Ii appears that NJ plan of assessment can be
adopted perie lily free from fault. Upon the whole.
The principle OF charging the interest of the Croton
leb upon all species OF property, real and personal
is the soundes That of introducing the water into
all houses, and compelling the owners of them to
pay for it, would be intolerable coercion to
leave its use free TO all citizens, levying a
TAX upon houses indiscrminately would in
vove injustice, well TO those who are
exempt by the present law, as to the public in ex-
emptng the wealthy possessors of personal property
from their share of the burthen; and certainly the
latter class participate in its benefits strongly,
though not, perhaps, as directly the others. We
do not see any plan more feasible and equitable
than the present. and, the report says, it ought to
be fairly tried, always keeping in view that the diff
fusion of the benefits of the Croon water is not TO
be neglected for the sake OF raising greater reve-
than is requisite to pay the interest on the thr-
teen millions OF debt which was contracted in the
accomplishment of this great work. The two SUBJ
joined tables present statement OF the houses,
and steamboats, supplied with during the past
year.
