II was q great and wise measure Of legisla-
tlon to Introduce the Potomac water into the
capital. Springs had furnished abundant sup
increased in buildings and population il became
necessary TO open new channels for the con-
vepIrnce OF the public departments, and to have
at band the means TO subdne con1agratIons.
Several millions Of dollars have thus been ox-
pended. Without the flowing liquid, the Gov.
ernment hospitals, the public eorrals, and sta-
bis, etc., wUuId De in . disIrassed condition.
By having more water than the Government
actually needs, our citiasns arc permitted to
enjoy the surplusi and mot only these, but siran-
gers may iuibibe without money aud without
price. Whatever complaint there may be OF
dust and mud and bad liquors, there can BE-
none sS to bad water. We have the best, and
feel bold In claiming this character for the nat
url bever &c, Our citizens, however, who
have the water Introduced Into their dwellings,
pay tax TO keep pipes In repair and to defray
Incidental expenses OF superVisIon. So they
do not receive their supplies for nothing.
As to gaS.light, we cannot say that j. is ju.
dciously dispensed. On dark nights Is some
times happens we have none, and on NOON
light nights we have 1t literally supplied.
This may be owing to the unrelablity OF the
almsnae.makers, who do Dot correctly guess
the proper periods for artificial illumination. !
The Go7eInmeut pays for the gas-light along !
the whole length OF Pennsylvania avenue, be- .
fore the public buildings, aud in such places as
the general interests require but tue streets, in
p ~, are lighted by private enterprise and ex.
