Ip the Board of Aldermen last evening, Mr Moore asked leave to bave read 8 commaniva. tiom addressed to Bim by S R. Bond, Water Registrar, but objection was made, and it was witbdra' The communication was in re- ference fo certain inquiries and suggestions of Mr. Moore im regard to the water rates in this city, and the Registrar says: = 1 Bave thought that a few statement eed be made for the use of the Po- tomac water, or tbat the charge should be greatly reduced below the present rate, from the fact that tbe General Government bailt the aqueduct and laid a of the mains through = ich our supply is obtained, should con- er — Firat. That Res frequent and sometimes heavy expenditures are necessary to repair kages iD the maine. and that a constant over- sight and inspection of the same is of the first importance to prevent such leakages, so far as possible,and, when they occur, to avoid in- convenience to water-takers by promptly re- pairmg them, and prevent the di to Streets, sewers and other public and private Property, which would be a disastrous coo- Sequence ef neglecting this important duty of the Water Department. Second. That the tume Covgress placed this subject under the control of the Corporation constituted main arteries, from which the circu since been extended, at thi tund, im all derections, to meet the wants of our rapidly increasing The truly “magnificent dist re butsparsely built over require a large extent of pipe com- Paced with the number of resideuces to be sup- pled, and, by consequence, with the revenue to te derived from water rents; and, in many instances, mains bave been laid almost solely for the purpose of protection against fire, where scarcely any returns in the shape of water Tents could be anticipated. Then, azain Fire- bydrante, of the most approved and efficient pattern Low im use, bave been erected along the lines of the mains, stops inserted at the crossings, &c., 80 a8 to afford a proper control of the water in case of leakage cr other con- upgency: and I bave the satistaction, in this connection, to report that every such fire. bydrant and stop under the control of tnis department is at this date in good working order, a complete ¢xammatior and repair of the same from ume to time having been made. The great convenience—the necessity, in- deed—of these Constantly extending mains, and the safe-guard against the destraction of prop- erty afforded by these fire-hydrants. certainly exceeding the cost of the same; but they must be paid for, kept in repair, extended to meet ew wants, and for this purpose it is that water rents are collected, not as a source of Fevenue to the city for general purposes, nor tor sny other reason whaisorver. J bere I shall be asked if a water tax of seven-eighths of one cent per squire foot is not Assessed on the lots fronting on the line of the Mains, to reimburse the water fund for pur- chasing and laying the same? Certainly: but this tax is payable in five annual instalments, (Or sooner, at the option of the ow: so that gererally but one-fifth of the cost of the mains is immediately available to this fund to offset the diebursements or each year, even suppos- ing the above-named rate of assessment to meet the expense, which is frequently not the case, Owing to the great width of our streets, and the Jarge amount of property belonging to the Gen- eral Government, and not liable to be taxed. ‘Thus it becomes necessary to supply this de- ficiency for the time being, as well as todefray the expense of repairs, Ac., above mentioned, from seme source, and what one ate, so just and equitable in al moderate charge for the use the water! Third. That when the Water Department was organized, ten years ago, authority was given by act of Congress to borrow $150.00 ‘Which the corporate authorities at that time deemed it nece to do, and which was ac- cordingly done The water stock issued for tots Joan will soon tall due, but no surplus has been accumulated in the water fund, after pay- ing the interest on the same, the expenses above indicated out of the receipts of this office, in- cluding the water rects and taxes upon the mains, out of which to redeem the same. By carefully busbanding the receipts of this Department 1 be these receipts Will here- after be adequate to pay the ordinary expenses, including the laying of mains, and to create a sinking fond, out of which the water stock may be redeemed within the next ten years, a portion of it annually, even at the preseat jow rates charged for the use of water: and as the interest on the stock bas been, 1 believe, Promptly paid, the loan can doubtless be r=. hewed on favorable terms. It will be neces- sary, in my opinion, at a very early period, in order to keep up a water supply equal to the ine: easing consumption and demand, to make some quite extensive improvements, such as jaying a large main along the northern part of the city, or building a reservoir in that direc. tion, Dut in such case some specia! means mus: be deviced adequate to the end. Fourth. It thus appearing that some cuarge fo. the use of water is necessaty, | would have 3t properly understood by our citizens how low this rete 18 compared with that paid in othr cities, as will become evident by the following comparison, made from official dataia my pos- session. 1 wiil take as a basis the lowest annual rent harged m this city for domestic use. viz: Fur Bouse 2 stories high and 16 feet front annual rent in other citles is as follo Louisville, $12: St. Louis, #4: Cincina New York, $13; Boston, $14. For larger 4 for other than domestic purposes, bout the same ratio, so that it can beseen at @ glance that our citizens have obe commodity and convenience at a much lower price than is paid fer the same in other cities. “In no city have the officers of the Water Department been less inquisitorial in examin- more liberal consumption been allowed witn- out extra charge. This leniency bas been often abused by am extravagent use aud waste of water, wich the crowing shortness of our supply demands should be remedied by some effectual mean ——_e——_—_ Tre Potomac Frowt.—The wind still blows heavily from the northwest, and therefore deiays the arrivals of vessels in port.
