We saw Mr.. Bussey in Halifax, repre-.

money to the people of the South. He
says the Company have already let out

has not been represented in this State
before. Money Is loaned On real estate
only. We predict that if he str kes
some sections Of tine State he will get
some of his money out in this country.
One inviting feature about this system is,
he will not let out money for q shorter
time than five years. Commonwealth.
Aud another inviting feature Ito the
company is that, when the FIVE years are
out, the torblu Banking Company, of
New York, will W a large part OF the

1t is understood that Mr. Bussey is
merely on q tour of inspection, to see if
the prospects will justify the l~oaning of
money on land in North Carolina. We
hop. he will invest. No doubt. in mapv
ms ancss, as the Recorder suggests, tho
land will pass into new hands; but in
many others the use of the money for
five years or longer will permit Of i'm.
provements which will make the property
repay the interest on the loan and much

not be carried off, and the owner of it

abandoned with the introduction of Dr.

THE CITY WATER REVENUES.

Since we raised the question as to
whether the revenues of the several de-
partments Of the city government were
to be kept distinct and inviolate for the
use and benefit Of the respective depart
ments for which they were raised, We
are glad to have the information that
such is the understanding, and such
policy is to be maintained i'll the water
department, at least.
This was certainly the Interpretation
put upon the amended charter when 1t
was under discussion in the Legislature,
and without il the new deal would be
shorn of the principal benefit which its
friends claimed for it. With this poll
cy the whole people can readily keep
trace of the management of the finan-
ees and each department will be stirred
up to the very best administration Of
its affairs that is possible.
The financial exhibit made by the
Water Board the other day, is good
example. We know at q glance what
the BosId has received for the year,
what it has discussed, and therefore
what surplus is on hands, and the needs
Of the department for the ensuing year.
We have discovered that, at least, the
Water Beard is amply provided for.
The annual surplus will be considera-
bic. We stated, yesterday, that
it would probably reach S25,
600 per annum. This estimate
was made upon the supposition that
the tund would be applied only to the
expense of the water works. But it ap-
pears that the lean of lS7l-the List
and Davenport losn-constitutes a lien
on the water works, and therefore it Is
adjudged to be right aud equitable that
the water fund should pay an annual
proportion OF this loan, amounting to
1000. This will, of course. rednee the
estimated surplus until the loan is liqui-
dated.
But even with this tax upon the Wa
ter fund. the surplus will not be much
less thar $4,000 per annum. We may
be able to stand this for little while
until we ascertain what the BOari is
going to do with it, and then it will be
for the tax payers to determine whether
the quality and conyeniences OF the
water supply justify a continuance OF
the existing rates or a reduction of rents.
We are glad that We shall also have
equal facilities hereafter of applying
like test to the other departments OF
the city.
