which reduces the wafer rents Of this

and imposes on property owners who
are non-consumers the obligation Of
paying their full share OF city taxes un-
der the genera! levy instead of benefit
ing at the expense Of the consumers of
water, most Of whom are the holders
Of small houses.
It's passage by such a majority
was a marked victory for the

was enlisted against it; nevertheless it
passed by a vote Of twenty-five to six
Governor Tunnel will hardly fail ia
