A case oceaned over a year ago wherein a householder asked to hav the water laid on in's new tenement, a a reasonable guid pro quo for the pay ment of his taxes. His request was refused, on the ground that the gezers. water supply must first be increased ere new demands could be made upon it; and the gentleman was informed that, pending such enlargemen of resources, the Government deemed it should be drawn by all alike from the more equitable to all classes that water

public hydrants. The correspondance had continued for about a year, when the householder declined to pay his Water Rates. Then, of course, the Government setits legal process in motion for the recovery of tares; and as a by- drant was in the meantime set up mea the tenement in question, the snit was withdrawn and the tax paid. It is not for a moment contended that the Colo Die Treasurer has any option in the matters all taxes must be paid, sad any application for a refund must be made through the proper channel. : At the same time, while the law insists - upon payment of all such charges against pro- perty, it does so upon the understandi that the Administration will in common justice, carry out is part of the _mg ment.
