To Collect War Taxes.

At the meeting of the Water Commits.
sion yesterday Registrar Grohe was in
structed to proceed at once to collect water
taxes.
II was thought at the time the Water
Commissioners decided to allow large
rebate on water rents, 20 per cent. in
January and 10 per cont. In February,
that it was very wise proceeding
Some Of the Water Commissioners are
now beginning TO doubt the wisdom OF
the action.
They find that in spite Of the rebates,
taxes to the amount Of from $1,000 to
5000 remain unpaid.
The number Of delinquents ia only
twenty-five per cent. less than last year,
The department Is not pressed for money
however, Its balance in bank being $75,-
08505 This, too, In face of the fact that
SIG, 900 has recently been given to the City
Council.
The fact that the rebates were allowed
means that the departments surplus at
the end Of the year will he less than last
year, which will moan another big kick
from the City Council, which always
counts on big surplus from the Water
Department to assist them in squaring
accounts,
