amounts to S., 900 by the new system of the
water meier. The company intend build
ing union depot, to cost $4,000, in this
city, and place it on the space now occu-
pied by the machine shops. Inasmuch as

be removed from their present site, they

prominent gentleman from tha5 city has
seen tie off GERS of the railroad company,
and offered free ground and free water
privileges at Chattanooga. Such bonus
is liberal and inductive; it will not be spurn.
ed if the water tax Of $1,000 be continued.
The company desired to remove the
shops south of Broad street where they
own land and to enlarge the works very
much, in which event the water tax being
increased propoTtiOnately, would amount
to from $1,000 to $1,000 per annum. In
five years $4,000 will have been expended
in paving this tax. With interest added it
is a large sum to be paid for necessary of
life when such sum could have been saved
and invested at good rates. We cannot
blame the officers for wishing TO remove
the works; aud if our citizens are willing
to lose an enterprise Of this Character and
magnitude for the sum realized by the
water meter tax system, they evincs but
| little discretion and less lberaiity. AL
manufactures promote The interest
of city, and il were better
| for Nashville TO give the sum

rate any mandatory here would be dis
astrous. We know of no way 10 ensure
disaster TO this branch of enterprise than
the one brought about by the adoption OF
this meter. 1t may have benefits for cities
| like New York aud Philadelphia; it eau
have none for Nashville. The water work:
here clear actually $4,000 a year. Thi!
metre makes the tax four times greater. l
