we would direct the attention of our read
ers to the report of Alderman Shields, on the
water rates and water supply, published in
this mornings CRESCENT. The report shows
that the amount assessed for water in New
| Orleans is not excessive, and, indeed, is not
| so great as in other cities of the country fol
the same service. In regard to the manner
| in which the commissioners have discharged
their difficult duties, the general conclusion
of the report is as follows 1t will be seer
the question was surrounded by difficulties
the duties to be performed were laborious
tedious, complicated and thankless-for the
commissioners were expected to render tht
service without money and without price
That they have been entirely correct in every
item would be assuming infallibility; but tina
the principle of their action is just, and thei
system of rates as low as possible, no fair
minded man, who will trouble himself t.
examine the records and make confessions
| will for moment doubt.
