As an evidence of the standing of this Com

To ,ohom it mag concern:
We hereby certify that the Cincinnati Home
Insurance Company have paid us the full
theif policy No. 3146, on our Mill property near
Troy, Ohio, which was was destroyed by fire on
the 4th day of Defender. 1865.
We esteem ourselves fortunate in having been
insured in this Company as the party who oe.
cupied the premises, was insured in an Eastetn
Company, and on mere technical quibble they
refused to pay their loss. We desire also tosay
that we did not directly or indirectly own or
control one dollars worth of stock of said Gin

from personal knowledge of many Of the Stock
holders and Directors, we consider this Com
pany frst-class in every respect and entitled to
the confidence of the public.

tants Of the village Of Burlington, in the
county Of Chittenden, with pure water for
culinary and domestic uses."
2. Section 4 is as follows:
The said corporation are hereby empow-
cred to take the waters o, Lake Chsmplain
and Of Onion River. or either of them, for
The purpose Of supplying their said aqueduct
and also, to take the water of such fountains
and springs as they may purchase of the
owners thereof. for that purpose prOrided,
that if the water shall be taken from Onion
Bivcr, it shall be 81 taken as not to injure
any mill privilege, or water power owned by
any individual or company, without com
pensa.ion therefor -
3. The corporation is allowed to "dIg up
and open any street, common or highway IN
tie County of Chittenden, necessary for
constructing reservoirs and laying said pipes
or for repairing the same under the usual
conditions as to interfering with the travel,
&c.
4 The corporation Is authorized to enter
upon and use any land and enclosure which
may be necessary. &c. for placing its reser-
roirs, conduit. or pipes, and maintaining
the ssme. And any disagreement with
owners is to be settled by the award of ap-
praiserr APPOINTED by the Judges Of the
County Court.
S. The inhabitants Of the village of Bur
lingsOn, may, without charge, put conduct
ors into the pipes to draw water in case of
Ere.
G. The Judges of the County Court are
to determine the tariff of Iates, for the use
OF the water.
I. After ten years after the company COM
m.nce to receive pay for the water Of the
Aqueduct, the inhabitants Of the said vii
lage are to have the right to purchase all
the stock Of the company and its interest
in the Aquedusr at an advance Of ten per
cent on the stock paid in.
8. Any future Legislature has power to
alter. amend or repeal the act.
1t will be seen that the powers embraced
in the franchise of the Burlington Aqueduct
Company are very ample. If the city were
to purchase the franchise it would Of course
possess the powers which it contaius-some
of which may be very important for the
construction Of the proposed works. A
question, to say the least, arises, whether
the city. under the provisions Of its
own charter, possesses equivalent powers
If it has them not, and should not choose to
purchase the property of the Aqueduct, it
might be necessary TO 60 to the Legislature
TO obtain them.
As to the value in money Of the fran
chiss such as it Is. or Of the rest OF the
Aqueducs COnpany's property, to the city,
We express no opinion, and should need more
information than We now possess in order to
form one. All that will be for the city
authorities to decide, and to them We are
willing to trust the decision.

The Water Works Question.

In the minds of some the question 70 be
subnitteu to the voters of the city, next
Monday, involves the question of the pur-
chase of the pipes. apparatus and franchise
OF the Burlington Aqueducs Company, and
on the terms alresdv made public. But in
fact it involves neither the one nor the other.
The committee Of the City Council indeed
report the terms on which that Company
offers to sell. and simply say that the offer
does not seem to them eItrarsgsBt." The
committee could not do less than bring that
proposition into their report. But the ques-
ton which the voters are TO decide does not
carry with it 8 decision on any one Of the
separate points stated by the committee
Thescomnittee obtained estimates and were
satisfied, that the works can be built and an
anp.e supply of water secured for $50 900.
We cannot suppose that those estimates
were made at hap-harsrd, for there could he
no difficulty in getting very definite inform
alton as to the cost, on 8 large part of the
work
Such water works are abundant in our
country, and the price of pipes and laying
them, Of pumping apparatus and other ma
chinerys is as-eAsily sscertained as that Of
pig iron. Neither is the cost of digging
trenches for pipes, of moving earth for a
reservoir &c. matter of mere guess-work.
If on revision Of the subject the City |
Council ascertain that the cost would over
run Sl5a,000, or that they can not get the
money on the city bonds as proposed, that
would end the matter for the present We
say on reuiSion, for a careful II vision of all
details would of course have to be made so
that there might be no mistake as to where
the water should be got, how carried &c.
and what would be the most economical
and sale way of proceeding. These details
must be decided upon by some body and the
CiSy Council are as likely to decide on them
tiscreetly as any body would. The purchase
Of the franchise and apparatus of the Bur-
IingtOn Aqueduct company is one of these
"details. That purchase would not be made
unless it became apparent that it was for the
interest OF the city to make it /; we may Ire
'ume too. that the present owners will not
ell unless they believe it for their interest
o do 50. The price would of course have to

NV r r. BUILDINGS IN ST. ALBASs 49,
Few who do not visit St. Adams are aware
Of the amount OF property which the Vt. &
Canada Road is accumulating there, in the
way Of buildings and shops. The new pas
senger depot will be one Of the largest IN
New England, $50 feet in length, bT 80 feet
in width. with " lean-to'' along the cast
side, which will contain Baggage Rooms,
Express and Telegraph Offices, Ladies and
Gentlemen's Waiting Rooms, Dining
Room, y by "a feet, etc. An a." 20
feet in width. and forming with the main
building front upon Like street Of go
feet, will contain the Offices for the various
departments of the road. The whole struc
turc will require 100000 bricks. The
new shops are immense affairs. They com
prise building for passenger car work, 200
feet by 60; one for wood work, 200 by
&c; an engine and boiler room, 65 by . a
freight building, 20i by 60; and black
smith shop, 100 BY so. running ten forces.
The present shops are to be used for locomo-
tive works. The new Round House, with
the old one, will accommodate over fifty
locomotives. OF course the spring to business
and to the general prosperity of the place,
from operations of such magnitude, is very
great, and St. Adams has abundant reason
to bless the day which gave to St. Adams
men the control of the Railroad.
