All property ownod or occupied hy the city for municipal pnposes, county, State, United States, hospitals, asylums, churches, colleges, schools and academies, are to be exempt from the imposition of the above tax. So as the "water has been introduced into building for use, the receipt 'for the water rent from the Company shtll be evidence of the payment of the above tax, and the water rents ttjen'to be charged by the Company, in 1km of the tax, 'ahull be an average of the pri- aes charged Cor the same service in the city of Cincinnati, Detroit and Chicago The proposition in reference to this schedule of rates, aad the contract with the city, proposes to make it perpetual.

Your committee would not deem 't advisable to recommend to yonrOonsiderationa proposition that would forever tie the city down to what would be equivalent to perpetual tax, but vronld recommend that the contract now proposed shall at the option of the city, cease and be void ai the eipiratipfa of ten years from the date of the completion of said works uuder this contract, and the Company then left to rely upon its ywn resources. In return for the aid asked of the city, In the collection of the schedule of water rates, the Company propose to famish and put np 175 hydrants, or fire pings, costing somt and to furnish the water free of charge to the city for nre pbrposes. The city of Buffalo is now paying theCompany in that city a yearly bonus of some $30.000. in addition to the amount paid for street hydrants, the Company there having started the "works without any city aid, and after atruggling along for some five years, not being able to realize anything from their investment, gave the city, as well as their customers, notice that on a certain day the water wonld be shut off unless soipe aid shon be rendered by the oily. At the same time the several Insurance Companies of the city notified their policy holders that their policies wonld expire on the same day that the water should be shot off, they having taken their risks based upon the water works being io operation, and wonld not continue those rates provided citj was deprived of water.

Among the reasons urgvd bj many the proposed water tax asked to Iw enforces by the proposed contract, is that of its beini unequal and burthensome, particularly at ttu present time. At first sight would to' be justice in reasoning; thef. tax proposed "is only to be levied on the property actually benefited by baring the water at hanc in case of in tho reduction of the rates of insuranop. This proposition, 5n the opinion of your committee, is far more just and eqnal than to levy a general tax upon all of the property ol the city, as the property lying away from the lines of the water pipes, could not, neither would it, be benefited in the least by the introdnctiou of water, hence a genera) tax would be unjust and unequal on that portion of the city not contiguous to the water pipes To a Certain degree, all taxes are burdensome and not to be desired, and in many cases bear unjustly npon a certain portion of the mucity. For instance in tha cose of the tax, tlie man wbo has no children is taxed to pay for the edncation of hie neighbor's child ren but who is there that will deny that snch a tax is not legal' VVIiy.

because it contributes to the general good of the whole, notwithstanding, the man who has no children realises no direct benefit from each tax. On the contrary, the benefits that will arise to us in the commencement and completion of these works will be many, and decidedly advantageous, in a pecuniary point of view. In the first place the rates of insurance will be reduced at least one-half per as will be seen by the following statistics, which have been obtained by personal application to the several insurance offices in this city, and may be relied npon as being nearly correct thus showing an annual saving on the property insured in the city, equal in amount to double of the whole proposed tax besides, the fact of the commencement of these works tend more to give confidence to those abroad of our steady and permanent growth, than anything else we could do. The whole amount of fire risks for in several offices, 'amounts in the aggregate to the sum pf At an average rate of 1 1-4 pen cent premium, these rates will reduced introduction of water to 3-4 of one per oent. Consequently, -a reduction of 1-2 per cent, will be made, which your committee think a safe and reasonable estimate; thus producing a saving 'to the property insured to the amount of 00 per annum which amount would be sufficient to purchase the entire works In six years a right which the proposition now presented gives the city.

In addition to this, it provides that after paying ten per centum, on the investment, all surplus earnings, over.and above that amount, shall go into the hands of the Board of Water Commlssifaners, which shall be composed of the Controller and City Treasurer, to be by them invested as sinking fond for the purchase of the works. As a matter of economy to the city, in the way of building cisterns and welts in the different-wards, as well as reducing the expenses of dur "fire department, in the purchase of new engines, ought to recommend itself to the favorable consideration of the people, iS with the the hose some eight ion, ani As'to the proposed haye'a number of preoeidBnts.yonr committee will only refer to 1 wo similar esses, the first is an act pa tied' by he the Psnnsylvianlaj approved '1857, authorizing se- ect and Common Councils of Pittsburgh to asseFi water-rates as follows: 'Sec. 1. Beit enacted by the Senate and louse of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met, and it is hareby enacted by theanthority Of the same, That from a rd after the -pas sage of this aot, the Select and Common Gouiinil of the city of Pittsburgh shall have power to adopt a schedule or schedules of water rates by'which all water rents shall be assessed to the owner or owners of the premises, and such water rents BO assessed shall be a loin upon said premises, and collected in the same manner as city taxes are now by law a Icin and The next case relates to Chicago, an act passed by the legislature of Illinois, approved Feb. 1856, authorizing the Common Councilto a water tax as follows: Sec.

3. The said Board shall have power and il shall be their duty to assess, as water rents, snch amounts as they shall deem equitable npon the owners, occupant, -or occupants of'any building or buildings, which shall situated on lots adjoining any street, or ally, in said city; throrigh whichthe distributing water are, or may hen-after bt laid, from which inch, building or buildings can be conveniently supplied with water, whether the said owner cr owners shall makt utc of tuck voter or not, and said water rates shall become a lien or charge npon all such buildings, and the lot or lots npon which such buildings are situated, The tax proposed to be levied by this proposition could not be enforced or collected under two years, from the prese.it time. The work cannot possibly be completed and the water let in to the pipes for distribution before Angnst or September, 1860, consequently no tax conld be levied or enforced until following year, 1861; by which lime it is to lw hoped we shall have entirely recovered from our present embarrassed condition. Another weighty and important reason to urged in faVor of early commencement these works, is this: that we have now in our midst hundreds of able bodied men, nho an anxious and really suffering for work, but can find none; should this stale of things continui to exist, (which, most assuredly, il trill this work be commenced,) the city, in its corporate capacity, will have to furnish work for these men, or else contribute Uvtne support Ihemselves and familes during the coming in clement winter, in order to prevent an Immense amount of suffering, while, on the other hand, if we adopt this proposition now before us, and allow these gentlemen to CODIH among us and expend some three or four hundred thousand dollars during the two Tears, it will obviate the necessity of doing much citT work, excepv for repairs that a.l>>olniel\ thus enabling us to recuperate onr now exhausted treasury.
