The Board OF Trade last night had the
matter of water rents before 1t. A long
discussion took place and finally resolu-
ton was adopted to be sent to the Water
Commission asking that a pro-rata reduc-
ton be made,
The question was brought up by George
W Bush, who said that quite a discussion
had been carried on in the newspapers over
the subject. A. S. Reed stated that he was
interested. He owned a number of houses,
but they were idle. No water was being
used in them. yet he was charged water
rent. Mr. Bush said this was what inter-
ested all property owners. The times we're
hard, rents are decreased and hard to col
lect.
The matter Of the annual surplus Of the
Water Department interested the MEM
bers and they thought the department
could do without it. Chief Engineer Bond,
who was present, stated that the surplus
was necessary and had to be created. 1t
was according to the law. 1t was needed
in case OF any extraordinary occasion The
commission bad no way of raising or bor-
rowing money except by an act of the
Legislature, therefore there had to be a
surplus
The following resolution was adopted
and will be sent to the Water Commission:
The Board of Trade would respectfully
call the attention Of the city Water De-
partment to the fact that in consequence
Of the extreme depression in real estate,
the reduction Of rents and the uncertainty
Of their collection in the city the charge
for water rent is proportionately much
higher and more onerous to property hold
ers than they formerly were. AS the f.
nancial statement OF the department shows
a large cash balance in the treasury over
all expenses they would suggest the pro-
priety Of making a pTo-rata reduction in
the schedule charges for the use Of water
for domestic purposes"
The report of the committee appointed
to visit the Philadelphia Commercial Mu-
scum was adopted and the museum en-
dorsed William jerks Fell submitted a
Plan OF ground at Newport for manufacture
ing purposes and it was referred to the In
dustrtal Improvement Company.
Josiah Marvel was added to the commit
tee to Investigate and agitate the Ques-
ton of guarantee title concern under the
Torrents title bill similar to the one in
operation in several Western cities, by
which titles to land are guaranteed.
The matter Of traffic bureau to settle
claims with railroad companies, eQualiZe
freight rates and adjust Other questions of
transportation and tralic was deferred
until the next meeting.
President Lawton informed the board
that he had received private information
from Washington that $50 900 could prob
ably be obtained for harbor improvements,
and II is likely that the River and Ilurbor
Committee Will get the sum and use it on
the ChTistiann river, as the present ap-
preparation Is exhausted
Before adjoining, this being the last
meeting Of tho year. a vote OF thanks was
cXtcnded to William LaNtOn for the active
and progressive manner in which he has
conducted the business OF the board.

Tho old familiar story is told by the
Treasury Department at Washington on
Tuesday, there is deficit for August Of
SO, 100, $50. The receipts from all sources
during the month aggregated So 5G2, COO,
while the total expenditures were $3j, I0l,.
&c, or over 50 UO0, 900 in excess of those for
August 1895 Tho plain inference from
these figures is that while the expenses OF
running the government arc on tho in.
crease, the revenues continue to decline in
about the same proportion. The receipts
from customs last month were SIP 800, i05,
as compared with Sl5, 630,047 for August,
1855; and from internal revenue sources
vere s1l ,69l, 1888 for August, 1895 us com.
aIei with $12, liz, l0i for the correspond
ing period last year. The deficit for the
two months Of the present 1sCa! year is
now s?3, los $50, for the same kcrlol last
year it was Sl3, 1851, All the increases
are on tho wrong side Of the ledger The
matter has been referred to so often that
IT seems almost unnecessary to point out
tlat the one great need of tho Treasury at
/. tIis time is Increased revenue, which will
only come from re- adjustmCnt of the
tariff on protection lines. Such II read
justmont will be beneficial to the country
in two most important respects; 1t will
relieve the Treasury from further Cmbar.
