These are the rates which chiefly affect
non-residents the charge for stores, offices.
markets, having practically no bearing in
the matter. The rate for sanitary purposes
is the same in Berlin as in Montpelier. The
theory is that the tax on Montpelier resi-
dents for fire protection practically equaliz-
es rates for family and sanitary uses; that
the use OF water through hose, for sprinkl-
ing a lawn or other purposes, is luxury,
and the rate may reasonably be made high
or over the river.
When the water works were first con-
structed, to guard against a failure OF the
water supply in the event of accident to the
main, which passed from the Berlin to the
Montpelier side under the bed of the river,
a supplementary line of six-inch pipe, some
5000 feet in length, was taken from the
main, along the Berlin side, and brought
into Montpelier over the bridge at South
Main street, uniting with the main on the
Montpelier side. This line is, in fact, di-
rect and essential part OF the cost OF the
water works for the supply of Montpelier.
Its provision had no reference to supply
for Berlin residents. That was an after
thought. The superintendent has laid some
5000 feet of four-inch pipe for supplying the
Berlin residents. He has charged to the
| Berlin account the entire cost of the six
| inch line mentioned above he has charged
to that account every expenditure OF what
ever kind for supplying water to the con-
1
gate is somewhat less than $500. He has
| credited this account with the water rents
collected from Berlin people, and the grand
total is, in round numbers, $780, Com
ment is unnecessary. Montpelier people,
| trademen, and men in other branches OF
business, can see church by day light
Rates for non-residents that are clearly I'M
reasonable, that cannot be justified on good
business principles, must Inevitably end in
a loss Of revenue from the investment for
water purposes outside of this city-if not
in other losses.
1t might be deemed the wiser course to
maintain the old status quo, and refer the
| whole subject of water rents and admins
| tration to the voters at the next annual
meeting of the city. Take the mandate OF
the people on the policy that shall be pur-
sued. Some years ago the water works
were managed by a board Of water com
missioners. For some reason, good or bad
this board was abolished and the manage
ment placed in the hands of the village
trustees, descending thence to the city
council. Other cities and villages had fol
| lowed a similar course, but, admonished by
experience, they have since quite generally
returned TO the system of management by 8
separate board. The schools, Green Mount
| Cemetery, institutions Of no greater magni
tude, are managed by separate boards
Montpelier might reasonably consider q
proposition to put the management of the
water works again into the hands of G
| special board, whose members should bt
elected for a.term of years, and thereby thu
| best interests of all concerned might be con
| suited

THE communication in this paper,
on "Absurdities in Our Tax Laws" is
commended to the careful reading of
WAToHMAN subscribers. Taxation in
its varied phases is subject of perenni-
al interest, and tax reform is a matter
that lies very close to the success and
permanence Of the government. The
article by "E. F. p" is able and
thoughtful, and merits the sober con-
sideration of all intelligent and consci-
entious citizens.

CAPT. CHARLES d. SIesBEE, known
to fame as the commander of the
Maine when that ship was treacherous-
ly blown up in Havana harbor, has
been assigned to the command of the
battleship Texas, in place of Capt.
John W. Philip, detached for shore
duty at Mares Island, San Francisco.
Capt Sigsbee will maintain the honor
the Texas won, under Capt. Philip, at
Santiago. When war was declared
there was no battleship or armored
cruiser without commander, and the
navy department was unable to give
Capt. Sigsbee detail commensurate
in Importance with his rank and de-
serts. He was assigned to the COM
maud of the auxiliary cruiser st. Paul.
which he has commanded during the
war with credit to himself and the ex-
temporized branch of the navy. The
government improves the frat oppor-
tunity to give this officer, who bore
himself so bravely and discreetly in
the great tragedy of February 10, a
command worthy of his ability, and
which is an acknowledgement to the
country of his complete vindication of
responsibility, in any degree, for the
disaster to the Maine.

ally OF this section will stand i'm with
this proposition, they will be insured oi
two great benefits. First, the present
reasonable rates for passengers and ex-
press will be maintained: second, much
quicker time will be made than Is now
possible under the present schedule, in

the trip in daylight. Besides, the east.

route alone will find that he has an ele.
phant on his hands, as no sub-contract
or will be able to pay expenses without

its diversities and its wonders, is liberal
education, revelation to the immured
