Aldermen Hopno and Pates of the Council Water Works committee, mot Mr. Henry Watson, President of the Water Works Company, yesterday, in order to have a consultation as to the purchase of tho Works by tho city. In order to arrive at tho legal aspect; of the matter tho opinion of City Counsellor Hope was obtained. Tho Counsellor's opinion was that tho city could not purchase the Water as an increase of indebtedness ot about $30,000 would reach tho limit beyond which tho city could not constitutionally go, unless the assessment, and, quently taxation, is raised. This is tho samo view of tho case, briefly stated, that hao been taken by the TKLKORAVII in tho discussion of the subject.

The committee, of coarse, knew ttiwe facts before calling on Mr. Watson, as tho constitutional limitation was fully explained In the TELEGRAPH last week, but if a single member of tho Council knew, at their last mooting, when this committee was 'appointed, that tho city could not legally mirchoso the works, he said nothing about It, and the committee were compelled to go through the farce as instructed.
