The plan Of paying water expenses from the
general taxes was recommended and ably advo-
Gated last night by the subcommittee on water OF
the citizens committee. The subcommittee's gen.
ern proposition Is to pay the whole expense OF
water distribution from the general taxes, except
the laying Of supply mains directly In front Of
property and not at street intersections. The
argument Is strong that the cost OF supplying
water 10 those who do not or cannot AFFORD TO pay
should be met by the whole community and not
merely by those citizens who pay water rents and
are taxed for water mains. 10 Is clearer however.
that the expenses arising from the construction
and extension or a general system OF water
works advancing values In all parts OF
the District, should be borne by the whole CON-
munity, than that the current expenses of sup
plying water 10 present users should be thus
imposed upon all taxpayers owners OF suburban
and unimproyed city property may find objections
10 the latter proposition, which would not be
tenable against the former Those who advocate
the assumption Of water expenses by the city
doubtless feel. however. that their labors would
be fruitless IL any modification OF the plan should
prevent the complete removal OF the present
system CT water rents. which is necessarily
arbitrary and inequitabla Practically. a choice
Of evils IL presented. Either the vex-
ntious system OF water rents must be
retained, or the general taxpayer must assume
tue grievance al well as the expense OF the water
taker, and pay debt which in part may not prop
eriy fiH upon him. In proposing that water ex-
uenses shall be paid from the general taxes MOTH
Ing Is said as to exemption OF the United States
from sharing In the current expenses. But it may
be assumed that Congress is expected 10 attend to
this branch Of the matter BY the original outlay
IN connection with the water WORKS the United
States Government has fairly entitled Itself to the
free use mot waste OF Potomac water The Dis
fFict has some just unsettled accounts against the
Government, but none of them arse from the use

nearly twenty years ago. II it Is, Kelly will, Of
course, nave 70 make an accounting Of profits.
Toe only way this can be escaped is by showing
That the present motor Is not the same as the old
one, and In proof OF that it viii be necessary OF
