" ‘Water-Works.

Ar least one feature of the meeting on Monday evening last pleased us. All the speakers favored the introduction ot water into the city. Several had heretofore been strenuous opponents of avy scheme of waterworks, byt one after the other announced that they would vo longer oppose a feasible scheme which would not entail too much taxation on the people. -

The discussion of the Water Question since the last session of the Legislature, has dove good. The arguments in favor of water have forced themselves home to the peopie, aud we believe that every- body is convinced that a copious supply of water is neceesary for Charlottetown. We believe also that it is now evident that the Water-works Bill burked last winter was a good measure; one whereby the citizens might have a plentiful supply of water for extioguish- lug fires, and for household purposes, at & moderate cost to the city for the first great privilege, and to the individual citizen for the last.

Much was said last winter, while the bill was ander consideratiou,about sewer- age. Very many were impressed with the idea, that if water were introduced, asystem of sewerage was absolutely necessary. The citizens who were carried away by this impression, now look upon the matter iu a differeut light. They see that sewerage will not be necessary, and that water may be in- troduced as contemplated by the com- pany, with highly beneficial, and not deleterious, effect

We quite agree with Mr. McDonald, who so ably advocated sewerage in his paper, which we have just published, so tur as its desirability is coucerned; but we dissent emphatically trom his pre- mises that sewerage must accompany the introduction of water, or evil effects will follow. That a substantial, efficient system of sewerage would be a good thiog for Charlotetowao we admit; but the cost wou'd be such that it would be utterly impossible for the finauces of the city to meet it, now or in the future. A cheap, make-shitt affair, constantly ueed- lpg ‘epair, would soon bankrupt the town, and the accumulation of filth in these underground sinks would, in a few years, breed pestilence. This has been the experience of other places, notably the City of Bostou, where typhoid and typhus fevers annually increased, attri- butable to the sluggish sewers, filled with solid matter, which fushing failed to remove, uut.! at leugth the matter became so serlous that, at a cost of over four millions of dollars, a new system of sewerage has just been completed,—the outlet to which is carried some miles until it reaches an arm of the sea. Oaly wealthy communities can afford an efficient system of sewers. We lay down this proposition, and the history of all sinall towus will bear us out.

By a rigid adherence to our civie by- laws, and an iutelligeut recourse to the dry-earth system, for wuter-closets, privies, or sinks, the intrpduttion of a

The Question of the Day. ANOTHER LETTER FROM WM, HEARD, ESQ, | Sm,—In my previous letter I gave a | brief sketch of the history of the Water ; question, | citizens that an opposition to the scheme | proposed by the City Council was started. | The wisdom of that opposition is not now | for one moment doubted, for had they pur-

sued their reckless course it would have ‘brought untold mischief in its train. lf i such men as Shanley, Boyd and Mardoch ‘can be trusted, that enterprise would have cost the city im the neighborhood of 2300,000, or a yearly interest in perpetuity of about $18,000. At the civic election 1n 1873, the advocates of the Winter River tunnel scheme were utterly routed, Since that time the opposition to every fresh plan

; i

| has taken more or less hold of the tax- | pavers.

There are two great questions before the

If these

|; who now oppose the introduction of water- iworks will be fuunnd among ita warmest advocates. It will be my aim in this letter to discuss these two points.

ist. Can we secure, by any scheme, an eflicient supply of water for fire and sani- tary purposes, at a less cost than we now pay for our totally inadequate supply ?

2nd. Under the new system, will the rights of the poor who cannot afford to pay for water be protected !

That we are in a position to assert the affirmative, I will only refer to the offer made by the firmof R. H. Buchanan & Co. last year. For the sum of $2500 they propose to provide an effective water sup- ply; also to furnish 50 hydrants for fire and other porposes, with a coustant pressure of

400 gallons per minute, each hydrant to have two branches, and to be frost-proof. it will be observea

that the temporary scheme for fire purposes chiefly, viz : to erect a stationary pumping engine over Quirk’s well with only 10,000 feet of main pipe, providing for but 50 bydrants. Jt was by this scheme intended to use the present fire engines and hose at the outskirts of the city to supplement this system. Mr. Murdoch's plan, however, provided for 79 hydrants,so placed that the average distance should not be more than 400 feet. Two hundred feet of hose ateach hydrant around s block, would thus reach to every part of the block, The whole city would be brought under perfect control,and an efticient deluge of fresh water be poured over any block in the city at a few minutes notice, This can be accomplished for $3,950 per year es per Buchanan & Co's. offer. All the city will be called upon to furnish hereafter, will be for keeping a suitable supply of hose, paying for a reason- able number of pipe,aud thuse men with the hook and ladder service, and necessary re- pairs, for which #1,000 will be an ample al- lowance yearly. Thus $4,000 per year will be sufficient for the entire service. The cost of the Fire Department for the past 10 years is $44.705.20, being an average year- ly expenditure of $4,470. From this it will be evident to every one that the outlay on the Fire Departinent in the future,need not exeved the average outiay for the last de- cade, and will supply a perfect water sup- ply. ‘Then we may safely calculate on the disposa! of our steam and hand fire engines, engine horses, and a lot of useless machin- ery. So much for the effect on the city taxes,

Now we may enquire into tho indirect

saving to the citizens, #bich will be a certain result of a good water supply. This subject demands

earefn} attention. Many ‘try te persuade themselves, that i* they do not insure their property it costs them nothing, aud should not be taken into the calculation at ail. But we all kuow from experience, that when an uninsured property is burnt, and the sufferer cannot well sustain the loss, those who pay their premiums for fire protection are called upon to contribute towards making good the loss. The right way to Jook upon fire in this relation, is in the aspect of a common enemy. If one avffers, all, more or less suffer with him, It is therefore to the interest of property holder, that insurance rates should be kept as low as possible, so that every man may be able to insure to some extent at least.

Now, what are the facts? For several years past,the losses borne by the insurance offices were so severe, that they were com- velled to increase their rates or abandon the field. Thore being no longer any incentive for competition, they came to the conclu- sien, either to insist on a preper supply of water, or else to raise the rates, until we took such steps as would make this city as safe as other cities in a similar position The first rise im the rates was an average of about [00 per cent! Last winter the uuderwrite’s gave three months notice to the City Ccuneil, that unless something was positively done in the way of a suitable water supply, a further rise of 20 per cext. would then be made. This was carried in-

to effect, and we are now paying an average of 125 per cent. § ad vance on onr previous normal rates.

Let us look at the effects of this rise on the value of the burnable property in the city ; for if we do not pzy au Jusarance office to carry our risk, we bear it ourselves ; and very few can afforc to be their own insurers.

A careful analysis of the value of pro- perty in this city may be stated as foilows : Valuc of taxable property aa per

merely for refusing to bring in a water supply, which would cost them nota cent beyond what they are now paying to their ‘Fire Department. 1 think I hear some one ‘erying, “Halt! Are we not called upon to |pay for a right of way for the water- | works ’ Yes, my friend, and in the sale of the surplusjengines ard stock, you have perhaps ten times more than suilicient to cover all the legal claims.

| You will observe in the above estimate that the Dominion property in this city is valued at $523,000. When the Post Office is rebuilt and added to the above, the pro- portion will be fully one-seventh of the whole value of the property in the city. There can be no doabt that when the cost of the insurance of this valueble property is reduced by the construction of water- works, the Dominion Government will cheerfully pay their quota of the cost to the city.

Our Local Government has always shown its willingness to sustain our Fire Depart- ment, and we have no reason to question their future action in this respect. I think I have proved to every candid mind the aflirmative of the first question.

We now come tothe second questien, viz: Will the rights of the poor be pro- tected? Some allege that when the new system is brovgt into operation, the public wells will be all closed up; and those not able to pay for water will have to go without. To this it may be remarked that [no one a3 yet has pF poss d to do away with ithe pumps and wells. It may however, | be que stionable, whether it would be advis- able to keep up 80 wany as we now have. At least those which are dangerous to health should be closed in any case. But what is there to prevent the city from ar- ‘arging with the waterworks fora certain number of public taps for the free use of

ke poor! In such case it would be well

to close up all the wells except a few of well known usefulness in caso of emer- yency. Others allege that if the water- works are owred by a Company it will seon become a vast monopoly, and will charge extravagant prices for the supply. Chis objection may be met in two ways, Kither, the City Council in their agreement with the contractors can limit the scale of prices ; or, if itis found to be too high, the citizens can simply refuse to take it. This woald end the contest very quickly. The contractors would soon fia, that the revenue from the public hydrants alone would not provide one per cent. on their capital, after paying working expenses. It would, therefore, be to their interest to make the tariff so low, as to bring the use of the water into every household. There can be no fear on this ground. If the works are done under contract, with a privilege of purchase by the city; it will be the especial duty of the Council to have @ competgnt inspector to look after every inch ef the work, and to inspect the quality of all the material used in construc- tion ; to be assured not only that the work is faithfelly performed according to specifi- cation, but to know also the value of the work when completed. If the works are eventually owned by the City, then every citizen will have a direct interest therein, and the City Council can always regulate the sale to meet the reguirements of the taxpayers.

question, there can be only one sane con clusion, viz. : that if the whole of the pro- perty in the city was owned by one man, or a company, there would not be a moment’s unnecessary delay in commencing the work; if so, then it is equally the duty of every men having ever so small a share in the concern, to protect, as far as possible, the interests of himself and his family, amid the accidents by which he is constantly sur- rounded. By reducing the risk and the rate of insurance this is so far accom- plished.

The offices of Stipendiary Magistrate and Mayor ought to be combined, as they once were when the city was just as weli governed as it is to-day, aud when petty crimes were fewer. if the incubus of a Sripendiary Magistrate cannot betbrown off (is it fastened on us hke the old Man of the S+#i) then make the Stpendiary a perpetual Mayer, filling both ‘ fices at the present Stipendimry’s calary.
