LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
THAT WAITER BILL.

To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir: why do not the opponents Of
the Pyle water bill come out fair and
fight 1t on its merits, and not accuse
its advocates OF wanting to cropple the
Water Department? During all the
discussion Ct this bill. l have for the
first time to hear one word against
the management Of that department.
The fact is simply this: They are col
lecting 100000 more than their ex-
penses; this money is applied to the
current expenses Of the city and helps
Ito keep down the tax rate from
Twelve TO fifteen cents per hundred on
the assessment. Now the water c,n-
sumers who pay water rent on dwell
ings pay their own share OF the tax
and also pay from twelve to fifteen
CENTS on the assessment Of every manu-
facturing establishment, and on every
vacant lot in this city. l say dwell
inlgs, for they are the ones that are
paying the bulk Of this extra tax and
the ones affected by this bill. All
waiter consumers in the city, except
those in dwellings, are now connected
by meters at about one-third the cost
of dwellings. / win give you an H.
lustation. Smith has a saloon on
one corner and Jones has grocery
store on the other. They both have the
same fixtures in their houses, viz, hy-
drant. pave-wash. bath and two water
closets. Smith has. in addition, been
pump bar and sink in front OF
bar, public una, and water closet. Tie
pays minimum rate on meter service
OF $40, and that is all he has to pay
for he does not use more water. Jones
the grocer, is charged by fixtures, al
are an dwellings,. si5. and SO in addil
t1on for his store, whether he has
water in IL or not. To meet such
cases, the Pyle bill will go part of th'
way. AS to the amount this bill will
affect the revenue OF the Water De
partment It win not be more thar
$4,000 The total amount raised las
year was about Sl64,OOO. and $4,000 o.
this was from meter service, leaving
balance Of about Sl24,OO of which A
per cent would be nearly $4,000. Th'
total assessment OF Wilmington is $40,
OOO, 900. Twelve and one-half per cent
would amount to just $4,000 900, whicl
would be the deficit in the water rent
An taxpayers whose assessmen
on dwellings, lis below $3.50
would be benefited by this bill Nor
than 80 per cent. Of the dwellings
this city is assessed below this figure
so so psr cent. Of the owners Of dwell
ings is benefited by IT,
