Inscribed on the banner, which we here

labor can ever subdue its forests or cult

The States charge for the water or dam
ages, we have no data from which to estimate,
nor the cost for culverts, aqueducts, rights of
way, land for storage basins, extra costs for
cuts and fills not of surface grade OF contin-
geucies for want of surveys, but that an ap-
proximate judgment may be arrived at Of
what may be the cost of these several items,
we beg to state, upon authority derived from
official sources, that the entire Miami Canal,
from Dayton TO tbe west line of Main-street,
in this city, including two feeder dams and
twenty-three cut-stone locks, was constructed
for sum less than $760 900.
II will be borne in mind that this propo-
sition excepts the formidable item Of the
delivery basin, both the land which it shall
occupy and the cost Of its construction,
which, under circumstances, it is thought
a million of dollars would provide, these
items this Company proposing to secure and
convey to the city without charge.
Thus far attention has been invited only TO
the portion OF the city already supplied.
But have not the hili-tops and slopes within
the corporation limits like necessities and
equal claims2 The deprivation is severe
one, as is shown by the loud complaints and
the frequent confagratlon Of the elegant
suburban mansions on the surrounding
hills. And how is itwith onr sister cities,
