The Wator Question.
I.niilonTo, July to, i7.
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. We want water, and must have It,
but don't overburden our working people
with taxes.

The Congregation of the Propaganda

-It Is reported from Pittsburg that not
withstanding the shut-down of tho blast

Increase over last year, and It Is estimated
that the production this year will be 1,000,-
000 tons iu excess of what It was In
18S0.
What'ovor may be said about tho object
condition of wotktugmen In the United
Slates by croakers who deslro to create
unrest and dissatisfaction, or by persons
who maku a business and a llrlng by pro
moting labor disturbances, no intelligent
man believes that the condition of laboring
men In any pther country oh the habitable
globe Is anything like so advantageous as it
s In Auurlca.

By tho bill the lien Is also extended to the

The worst thing a parent can do for his
