In the waterworks bylaw which it confirmed on Wednesday afternoon the City Council has initiated a tentative system of water meters for certain specified purposes. This is a step m the right direction, since it will in all probability check somfc of tho waste which, appears to have been going on. It will, at anyrate, mean that those who use water for gardens and sundry other purposes beyond tie average domestic requirements will have to pay according to the quantity they ÜB6. Tho burden of individual luxuries and trades will thus, so far ua tho use of vraUr i» cottc»med, b« taken

fiom tho shoulders of tlie collective body of ratcpayeis and livid upon tho.so of the individuals immediately mtereisLed. TliGio in theiefoiv an element of justice as well na of expediency in tho new legulalion. Considerable opposition nmy be expected from those who will now hnvo to shoulder tho cost of their own hobbies or trades, and it is quite possible tb.-»t there will bo a wail in certain quarters, but if the Council fctamls to its guns it should have the support of tho majority of the ratepayers. .
