This is a difficult (|Uestioii to solv(\ and can be approxi- mated only, iio mattei' what coii.-ideration oi- cai'c is L:-iven to it. The chief ob-tach' in the way of r. satisfactory solution is the absence of a recou'iiizcd standard of value, or lest bv which the res])ectiye int<'i'ests of Town and City could be ascertained. Tlicre is no substantial difficulty with tlu' distributinii' works. Tiie relative value of these can be readily and accurately reached, but the difficulty begins with tlu' (luestion how nmch of the (ioti'i'dl K.vppudUnre, made on account of land and water riiihts, leading'' mains and reservoirs, gate-houses ami ^vaste-ways is fairly chargeal)le to St. John, and how much to Portland. Four methods occur to me, through either of which this question might be solved with a reasonable degree of accuracy. 1st.
