The Water Supply.

EDITOR STANDARD: In touching upon
the water-question, it seems to the
writer that you have struck the
" keynote" Why don't the city
take hold of, and mana.ca, the water
works itself? y pr, YER system,
inaugurated now, W, Id furnish
a cheap water supply o citizens;
eventually be source OF revenue to
the city, and a saving to the tax-pay-
er. The tax that would be required
to inaugurate and complete the
work, would, in the course of q few
years, he means of permanent and
profitable revenue to the town and
its people. What the people would
lose by way of tax, would be more
than balanced by the lowering of in
surance rates, and plenty of cheap
water. Suppose the city contracted
q debt of $4,000 payable in five
years, with 8 per cent. interest. At
the end of five years the city would
have paid S3S, 900. The city should
furnish water to houses, &C., by the
year, the water rent or tax to oper-
ate like other taxes on the property
and to be payable by the owner.
Say the city furnished water from
IS to S25 per year, according to the
supply required by each house,
building or institution. Suppose
now that there are 200 consumers
that, on an average, would pay the
city So year; it will be seen that
the water rent, or tax, in five years
would pay $4,000 of the debt. The
city could erect fire-plugs and pro.
per water supply at all necessary
points within its limits; then, with a
proper fire organization, insurance
would fall to One-half or One-thlrd
of the present rates, and the city
and the citizens would be substan-
tial gamers. A tax of one.half of
one per cent, with the water rent,
would be more than sufficient to pay
for tho work. Thus water rents and
insurance would be lessened and the
saving to the people would equal, at
a low estimate, $4,000 in five years.
Adding to this basis of 10 per cent.

Mason AND DIxoN's LlNE.-While
the abolition of the cause of strife
between the northern and southern
sections of the Union, has obliter IA
ted the imaginary boundaries be-
tween them, occasional reference is
made to the old landmarks, and
some knowledge of them is therefore
desirable. Probably no boundary
was better known at ono time than
the Mason and Dixon's line; and its
origin must therefore remain insep-
arably connected with the political
history of our country. 1t was as
follows: On the 4th of August, 1903,
Thomas and Richard Penn and Lord
Baltimore, being together in Lon
don, agreed with Charles Mason and
Jeremiah Dixon, two surveyors to
mark, run and settle and fix the
boundary line between Maryland on
one hand and Delaware and Penn
sylvania on the other. They ac-
complished their work to within SO
miles, six Chains and so links, when
they were told by their Indian es-
corts that it was the will of the Sioux
nation that the surveys should cease,
and they terminated accordingly.
Mason died in Pennsylvania IN 1857.
