FROM TEE P1OPLE,
Water and Gas supply Pipe,

Editor Star:-In devising our systems OF water
ana gas distribution, Congress has respected
the principle that the United States owns the
water is to be furnished at the building line
and gas at the meter. For all in the Streets
the District or the Gas Light company pays; for
all In his premises the citizen pays. II the Cit
lien tear up the pavement or remove or lnjure
a service pipe, he Is punishable by fine enforced
by Imprisonment. {Webbs Digest, 1917
Under section 203, Rev. St., d. c., "the cost
OF distribution OF the water, including all ne
cessary fixtures" service pipes included. Is to
joining property by the square foot.
Under section 1913, of same, "the cost of main
tenance, management and repair" Is to be paid
out CT the annual ,cdter rents or rates.
for both original cost and repair Of service
pipes and other street fixtures, to be paid out
of the iOater tar on land and the annual rents
paid by consumers it is clear that the water
department is acting without and against law
when 1t demands OF citizens that they shall lay
service pipes in the streets or pay for repairs
OF the same. That department has as much
right to present me bill for the street main
opposite my house as for the service pipe; or
for repair in the Georgetown reservoir as for
a repair of water box In the sidewalk.

The Gas Light company practices In the same
manner. The only charge 1t can legally make
against the citizen is for gas furnished him on
his premises; yet 1t does collect from him a

The wOrkingmen,s Assembly.

ANOTHER DISCUSSION AS TO POLITICS, THE
EIGHT-HoUR LAW, ETC.
At a meeting Of the Workingmen's Asse nbly
last night-Mr. VIM. Boron In the chair, and
Mr.. E. L. Barker secretary-the credentials of
]. j. Mcnamara, Of Columbia Lodge, Brother
nood OF Labor, and Col Perry Carson, of Lin
coin Lodge, same brotherhood, were presented.
The resolutions submitted by Mr.. Boron at the
last meeting were taken up, for the appoint
ment OF committee to wait upon the Attorney
General and ask from him an opinion as to the
status OF the eight;hour law; and considerable
aid, Boron, St1ckell, Hamilton, and others took
part; after which 1t was adopted.
The resolutions offered by Mr.. j. j. Murray at
the former meeting, that in future no resolu-
tons of political character be considered,
were taken up. Mr.. Oyster opposed their adop-
ton, claiming that 1t was very proper for the
assembly to discuss and pass upon the actions
or public men. MI. Murray contended that this
assembly was no place for political discussions.
Mr.. Barker thought it absurd to suppose that
they could get along without taking cognizance
OF the acts OF political men. Further discussion
followed, and Mr.. Murray amended his resolu-
tiops so that no resolution of a national nature
shall pass this body, except by a two-thirdS
vote, and none shall be debatable until referred
Was also by several MI OYSTER
what consistency there was In saying that Gen.
Grant could not be commended for enforcing
the eight hour law, and, in the face of that,
condemn President Hayes for failure to enforce
1t, which they had done. In reply to this, it was
said that ex- President Grant had not been CON-
mended because he was republican, but be-
cause he had nefriended wOrkingmen The
whole subject was laid over for two weeks.
A motion was made that committee be ap-
pointed to wait on Capt. E. B. Robinson and re-
quest him to return to the assembly and pre-
side Overit. This was opposed by some on &C
count OF the spirit manifested by Mr.. Robin
son when he left the assembly. The Chair
ruled the motion out of order.
Mr.. j. p. Hamilton offered resolution "that
this assembly hold grand mass meeting upon
the eight-hour question at the east front of the
Capitol, on the 4th OF next july" Referred to
the organization committee for report
