Emton AnvocATn: On Saluiday noxt the looplo ot this borough are cnlieil upon to tlrcldo momentous question, the decision ot which. will materially afreet the growth and prosperity of our toun. In your recent Issues I have no ticed Hint youare opposed tifwftterbelnx llrotiRlit Into town by tho borough authorities,' aim th nly argument you nilvaiico to ttpifold yrturoplii Ion Is the "White Klephantou Hie hill," ami the mistakes tnado by council at the time of llserec tlon, gIMngno reason why It would not be both feasible and at the same time a sourrenf piufll to this borough to have uitcr brought Into it by tho borough authorities, Statistics show that wator companies stand at the head of nil corporations for Round Invest ment and regular dividend paying coiic-erai. Since this is a fact, vi'liy should tlio cHlr.ens ot Lehighton allow this matter tofebout of their control and Into that of pi lvat Individuals who most assuredly would reap the benefits. I feci certain that ero this matter thoroughly under stood by nil our VDtcrs'Saturday's ballots would io ten to one In favor of the town, or culreiis ot tho town, controlling our water supply. Many seem to feci a tack ot conlldeiico In our borough authorities, and this is an unfair rcflertlon on our council, for wo nil bellevo them to be honest and Tespectable citizens, who are disposed to act only tor the Interest ottl'ie people, and tax payers, rurtherinore, I bellevo our council to ft matt would bo willing (In case tho voters so de creed) to appoint some one of our hcnvlost tax payers to act as a Hoard of Waler Commission ers, so tlmt they themselves would be relies ed of the responsibility which would be placed on those who yearly pay the most taxes, Bucli a commission would lnsilre economy and ho a safe guard against unnecessary extravagance, for they could manage tho affair In as economical manner us nuy private Individuals orliicor- orate body. It would be to their every Intciest to do so, and thoy Mould iccept tho responsibili ty as mo-itol the best business men and heaviest taxpayers favor tho plan of the citizens control ling tills most necessary article ot our dally con- enlcnce and cxllcnco. It Is a fact that may avo not been considered by the majority of our citlzons that any private corporation will charge tho borough a yearly sum for the uso of wafer In the Ore-plugs which v. ill be placed hi our sheets. This sum whlto uot so considerable Is still an Item which must not be foryctten In an ni'KU ment like this. Wero tho borough to supply the water the taxpayers would bo relieved of this tax and would roceivetho water for, their own use at icasonableratesi while if the privilege for furnishing it Is granted to any corporation, -said corporation would havo a monopoly and could and would tax the borough for fire-plugs and the citizens for their supply to suit Itself. It seems o mu that the borough should by all means sup ply tho water for this tow n, and it Can do It with but a trilling tax lor a very few years at the most. There Is no doubt that the borough could borrow tho money lequlred atfiom-l to 5 per cut., mid assuming that SlO.ooo would be re quired (tlio sum has been variously estimated tit from $20,000 to $70,000, but no leal estimate hss lecn made, therefore let us take tlio mean) this would mako a liability of$2,ooopcr annum for utercston thonntnunt. Now assuming that the borough be compelled to pay a company 5300 per annum for file-plugs and tho citlons ou a low, estimate $1,000 for waler rents for the same period, that would bo an Income of 31500. or a deficiency of $soo for the Ilrit year, and this last .sum would to all that It would bo necessary tor the taxpayers to make up or In other terms .sim ply the amount that tho borough would have been compelled to pay for plugs loh company, Then, estimating tlio grow th of tho borough by the last few years. It would bo sato to anticipate the erection of from forty to fifty new dwellings ier year, all of which w ould take water. This tit S5 per spigot w ould increase the revenue of tlio water department ?2Mpcr year, so that In wo years the citizens would bo relieved of taxes and the water lents would pay the Interest on the whole doht. Now It appears n afa calcula tion tocstlmaloa corresponding liicieasecach succeeding year, and in time tho water works would be making considerably more than tho Interest aud could pay off the debt, after which the receipts would go to fill up the borough treas ury. I submit tho nbovo for tho serious consid eration of the voters of tha borough, on strictly business principles. We should not allow old piejudlces against a school board ot twelve years ago, wm-tlior well founded or not. to pre vail and distract ouruttentlourromuu Important step to bo taken now. 1 furthor bellevo that no set ot capitalists whether In the borough or out ot It will furnish our cltlrens with wator unless they are confident of good lound dividends , -it the end of a reasonable time, for this reason I favor "home nilo" und control by our taxpayers and citizens, with a prospect of an abolition ot u tax for lira purposes and In time cheap water for tl. And compare this with monopoly by a for eign company, worked for Individual benefit, with an eternal tax ou the borough, and the peo ple at the mercy ot a soulless corporation for all future time. l)y tho borough keeping control of the wator department our citizens havo an op portunity of Investing accoidlng to their means lu the bonds of the water department a safe and sure, Investment under their own control thereby giving tliam a double Interest In the success of the enterprise and becoming both debtor and creditor, borrower and Investor. Do you want monopoly? Vote against the borough and by so doing vote ugalust your own Intel Osts. Cn'iZBX. . Note. Wa publish "Citizen's'- - cpm munlcatlon in favor of water being put iiv the borough by the Council. Cotntnent Is hardly necessary as "Citizen" him self fully demonstrates that forsoveral years there will necessarily bo a deficit eyen to pay Interest, while he leaves no margin to pay Secretary, Treasurer, Collector, re pairs for breakage, leakage, etc. Read his letter carefully and jou cannot fall to vote right.
