water Works.-Again.

we did not expect to say another word
upon this topic. We have not discussed.
and do not now intend to discuss, the general
policy, or any particular plan. Our only
aim was to show the people precisely what
was proposed, that they nigh. vete under
standingly, and then let them vote upon the
CUES ton as their good sense prompted. But
Mayor Taylor objects to our representation
OF the case; says we have not stated it &C.
curately and fairly and few more words
therefore become proper.
In the first place, as to our representation,
II Is objected that the $500, 200 Of bonds will
be Water Works bonds, for which those
works will be liable, and the general treasu-
ry and resources of the City will not be-
In reply, we say that the qestion has been
publicly argued, and has been argued in our
paper, upon the understanding that they
wereto be bonds for which the City, indie
pendent of the Water Works, would be liza.
bic. One of the members of the Council. a
prominent and active member, who is earn
estly advocating the construction of the
Water Works, admitted in our hearing. on
Friday last, after explaining and refining
upon the subject, that the City would be
responsible for the bonds.
SO far in defence Of our statement. Now
the Nd declaration.
The Mayor says that the project enter.
tanned by the Council, and under which the
proposition to the people has been submit
ted, Is this That bonds are to be issued in
sucn terms as not to render the general re-
sources Of the City liable, bu. which shall
look TO the Water Works and their income
alone Tor their redemption, for which they
alone will be responsible, expressly and un-
eqaiyoeally, for the payment of both prin-
eipal and interest.
That is his assertion. II is but fair that
We should give IT, as We have presented our
own, and the reasons for it,
without saying anything farther in sup
port OF our own statement of the ca. and
accepting the Mayors statement as accurate
" explaining the views and designs of the
Council, the material points for the people
to reflect and decide upon will be these .
VIII or will not the impression made anon
the public by the issue Of $500, 900 more
bonds, even though it is expressly stipulated
that the Water Works are alone responsible
for them, impair the value Of the bonds al
ready issued, and the credit Of the City p
And do the people wish for the immediate
construction Of Water Works sufficiently TO
run the risk Of any deleterious effect in tina,
regard
The people thus have the whole subject,
IN an undisgaised light, before them. They
must consult their own good sense. We
hope they will act thoughtfally and consd-
erately. We certainly have no other feeling
IN the matter than for the peoples interest
and the City's welfare.
