WATER RATES.

The protest by the Messrs. AUERBAcH
against the assessment for water in
the Progress building should call
public attention to the water rates and be
followed by a reduction. The rates are
entirely tco high. They are not only too
high, but it is believed that they are
illegal, in that they are more than the cor
poration has the lawful right to ask. The
eagerness Of the people to be supplied from
the mains has caused them to submit to the
exorbtant charges. There has also been a
feeling that the city was poor and in need
Of money for the extension of the pipes
and the bringing of the precious fluid
within the reach of more people, hence
prices were paid which under ordinary cir
cumstances would have been refused.
As we understand it Salt Lake city, as a
municipal corporation, owns not drop of
the water which flows through the pipes.
The city does not even stand in the position
of a trustee as regards the water. The
water tbeiongs to the land, being the
property OF those who own the soil.
The city rhas right to regulate,
control and distribute the stream, but
there its authority ends. If this. be the
law, and judges and lawyers say it is, the

OUR MAY FESTIVALS.

The chamber of commerce did q fitting
thing when it endorsed the May musical
festival, and commended the work of Salt
Lakes Choral society to all who desire
Salt Lakes advancement. The town that
can organize a chorus of 300 or 400 trained
voices, head them with capable soloists, and
support them with coed orchestra and a
great pipe organ commands decided re-
spect from all the great country adjacent;
and Denver and Omaha, who with all their
wealth and population could no more work
up musical event of proportions like this,
than they could stem the tide of the
Platte or the Missouri, are apt to
gain new notion of Salt Lakes import
ance when they learn to what stage she
has advanced in the cultivation of one OF
the highest arts. Viewed solely in the
light of an advertisement for the city, with
out regard to the influence of music as an
accomplishment and an educator-tae May
festivals of which the one that opens to-
night is the first-are a solid and I'M
doubted benefit to Salt Lake. and for that
reason we hope to see the start made with
the united support and patronage of all our
citizens. Next year there is no reason
why 0uch or an Albanl should not be
brought to lend the affair prestige, and the
May festivals of Salt Lake can be made in
time the occasions that will draw thous-
ands of yearly pilgrims to her shrine, and
invest the city with one more charm to at
tract the attention of the great region that
now pays her tribute.

corporation has no right to charge for
water; that is to say, it cannot compel
man to pay for what already belongs to
him. The individual owning the water
and being entitled to it, the city may
charge him only for the convenience of the
service, provided he receives the water
through the corporations pipes, and that
charge must be based on the cost of the
service to the municipality, not on the
value of the water to the individual. In
other words, the corporation has no legal or
equitable right to use its waterworks as
! money making institution. When the
revenue from the waterworks is sufficient
to pay the interest on the cost of the in
vestment, to pay for repairs and the cost
of supervision and control, the city can
lawfully ask no more money; the receipts
being more than enough for those ex
penses the corporation exceeds its legiti-
mate authority, and uses its power to ex
tort from the people money to which it
| is not entitled. 1t is then charging for
water which does not belong to it, and
which is already owned by those who are
made to purchase their own property.
1t is ridiculous to suppose that it will cost
the corporation s562.5O year to serve the
Progress building with water. This. sum
tells too plainly that the water, as well as
the service or accommodation, is being
charged for and that the larger part OF the
amount is for water. 1t might be well II
the Messrs. AUERBACH were to refuse TO
pay, and carry the matter into the courts
for an adjustment of the question which is
troubling good many people and must be
settled sooner or later. AT the present
rates the waterworks are source OF con-
siderable revenue to the corporation; and, IL
maintained, in a little while, as the popula-
ton increased and the patrons" Of the city
became more numerous, the profits from
water would go far towards paying the or
binary expenses of the municipality.
The way to get the rates down to where
they belong is through the courts.
