WATEK.-No subjects connected with our CITY
affairs, are so much discussed byour citizens. as
the questions of the supply of water and water
rents Thecomplaintsarcfrom all parts of the city
and from all classes of people tits not necessary,
at this time, to discuss the causes leading to this
state of affairs, inquire if the complaints are
founded in justice, or exist without cause. 3 The
City Council should devote its attention to the
formation of a code of laws regulating the sup,
ply of water and assessments of rents, founded
on principles of equity; and should be very par
ucular to appoint assessors Gas we believe they
have the appointing power) every way qualified
to perform that duty. The Council now is over.
burdened with petitions for relief from improper
assessments, so much SO, indeed, as to be almost
induced, by one blow, to deprive the, people of
one Of their great privileges, the right of petit
ton. We, ourselves, have felt the injustice of
the present system, but we paid our assessment
which was ond hundred and MY per cent
higher than last year, rather than approach the
Council through petition, when so many hum
drcds were doing the same thing, preferring
rather to trust to the sense of justice Of the
nextassessor to place US right on his list
81 True, our city is in debt and all sources Of
rcTenqeshould be tared as heavily as they will
bear, until she Is relieved from the debt now OPP
pressing her, aud it is the duty Of. all good citi-
zens to pay promptly, if not cheerfully, their
proportion of the revenue necessary to meet
payments now shortly due. We know, these
hard times, it is difficult for the wealthiest
amongst us, to easily raise the means necessary
temect their outstanding obligations 1t is par
ticnlarly difficult fOrthe city TO do So But a.
better time is coming, The river is up, busi-
ness resumed, and the prospects for the further
prosperity of ourcity Frightening. Then, let
us discharge all our duties to the city this year,
snd hope we may not have like causes of CON-
paint next year. i i 5s
