VIEWS ON THE
WATER PLANT
ALL CLASSES OF CITIZENS
WRITE TO RECORDER.
Responses to His Circular Letter Are
Very Numerous Majority of Cor
respondents Favor Municipal
Ownership if Assurance Can Be
Secured That Politics Will Bo
Kept Out Clergyman's Objection
to Purchase of Present Plant,
Some of the Views Expressed.
That the ureal majority of iho load
ing taxpaycis of this city have very
proiitiiinei d views on the water ques
tion Is proved by a perusal or the let
ters which Recorder V. L. Council has
received In response to his circular let
ter asking for expressions of opinion
on this theme of the hour.
The letters so far received came
from every class of citizens capitalists,
merchants, physicians, clergymen, law
yers, editors and counellnien and rep
reseat beyond question the best
thought of tho community. Karnest
ness and deep nnd tirm conviction Is
iti:coiii)Kit w. I.. coNXKi.r..
manifest in every line and the record
er declares that he Is beginning to feel
the public pulse on the water problem
as he had never hovd to feel it.
Of tho fifty-two citizens who have
so far sent responses to the circular
letter fifteen are unalterably opposed
to the municipal ownership of a water
plant, while thirty-seven favor it un
der certain conditions. These certain
conditions arc Iu nearly every In
stance, tho assurance that the manage
ment of such a plant would be kept out
at politics.
FA VOll PIUSSENT PLANT.
All but two or three of those favor
ing municipal ownership of the water
system favor also the purchase of the
present plant or the Scranton Gas and
AVnter company in preference to the
city building its own plant and secur
ing its supply of water from some oth
er source. Only a very few have kind
words for the present water company.
A well known lawyer perhaps best
orystallzos the sentiment of those who
believe in municipal ownership but
who feel that polities should be elim
inated. "As to the general proposition that a
city shall own its own water system,"
he writes, "I desire to say that I deem
it ti proper subject of municipal owner
ship. I am not in favor of the city
of Peranum entering upon ownership
of any water works, either by construc
tion or purchase, until the legislation
is such as will provide for its manage
ment so tis to eliminate it absolutely
from politics, by piovidlng for a non
partisan water board, or such other
method as will secure the best busi
ness talent in its administration. The
present legislation is very meagre."
A well known member of the boaid
or trade and a sound business man has
the following comment to make:
"Owing to the average ability (to say
nothing or the honesty) of the class of
administrators our mixed population
and unstable political equilibrium
would place in control a major part of
the time." writes a leading member of
the boatd of trade. "I do not think
It within the range ot piobabllity that
the adoption or the system would le
Milt In economic value to the tuxp.iy
eis of this city, 1 am therefore op
posed to the proposition of municipal
ownership as applied to this city."
DlFFKltlLVl'i: IX IIATKS.
An interesting p.iragiaph taken from
tile letter or a well known citizen who
favors municipal ownership and who
has something to say about water rales
reads as follows:
"Aside 1 1 0111 the extra charge made
upon Individuals resulting fiom the
ownership ot' water pilvileges by a pil
vate corporation, It Is largely detri
mental to the Industrial interests of the
city. 1 am a taxpayer In Gi cater New
York, The same service for which I
am charged $: there Is $8 here. Of
course, this Is but a single instance, but
It shows the possibilities of municipal
ownership and that, too, In it illy where
the authorities are charged with gross
ly extravagant management."
A distinguished member of the bur,
who expresses himself us being "heart
ily and unqttalllledly In favor or munici
pal iiwueishlp." has the following In
teresting observation to make:
"I do not think it practicable for the
city to put chase the plant of the Hcrau
tou Gas and Witter lompany at any
thing like a proper llgure, Them is also
the objection to this purchase, that the
city might, if there were no competing
companies, be as arbitrary about water
rales as a pilvate corporation. In the
borough of Shenandoah theie is both a
pilvate plant and 0110 owned by the
municipality. The u-sult Is that the
water rates (hero at 11 practically one
half of tint rates now charged In this
city."
A leading lawyer makes the following
comment, after expressing himself as
favoring the geucial proposition of
municipal owneishlp:
A Sl'LUNDlli HYSTKM.
"Tho Kcrnuton Gas and Water com
pany has a splendid system and an
abundant supply of very good water,
and If the winks could bo purchased at
11 teiisounhlc llgure, 1 should be iu favor
of it, I have 110 idea, howevet, that
this could be done. I think the com
pany would probably want about six or
seven millions, and our debt limit would
only allow us to go about half that
amount. About the only feasible plan
1 can see would he a law allowing us to
take the water company's plant and
have the price iixed by a Jury of view
and the court, I have not much f.illh
In tills, though. The temptation would
be too great. Most people can Bland
anything but temptation."
A well-known clergyman favors
municipal ownership, hut objects to the
purchase of the Hcrnnton Ous and
Water company's plant on moral
grounds.
"1 think the best Interests of the city,
public and private, would be best served
and promoted by municipal ownership,
for obvious reasons," he writes. "Pur
chasing the plant of the Serauton (Ins
and Water company would be unfair,
and a violation of Implied faith, which
neither municipality or Individual could
alford to be guilty of."
Tho following brier but terse letter
was received from a lending member of
councils:
"I have your favor regarding tho
question of tho city owning Us own
water works at hand, and In tcply
would say that my opinion has always
been that the city should own lis water
works. The only way I can see now Is
to buy the plant of the Scranton Ous
and Water company, and tho sooner we
start at It the better."
WHY UK OLUKOTS.
A prominent lawyer, In advancing
reasons against the ownership or a
water plant by the municipality, says:
"The city should not own its own
water system for the reason that as
now constituted and governed the own
ership of such a system would be In
my opinion a wheel within a wheel,
constituting a more powerful political
machine than that we now enjoy and
tho taxation of our citizens would be
greatly enhanced thereby and for such
tnxittlnn there would seem So be no
icmedy."
A physician of wide repute exp"esses
himself as opposed to municipal owner
ship In the following strain:
"I mn unalterably opposed to the
public ow nership or the water system
In this city. Generally I favor munici
pal ownership of public utilities but
with the experience we have had in the
past, which we have at present and
which we will in all human probability
have in the future with the majority
of our cotmcllmen, I am unable to con
ceive how any taxpayer can take the
qitestion of public ownership in this
city In earnest."
An ex-councilman writes as follows
after expressing his opposition to muni
cipal ownership:
"Kxonerntions iiom water rate,
pliue hunting, polities, etc., would
rendrr a busine' administration ii"Xt
to impossible and remunerative returns
doubtful."! think we should vn
slow and not allow indignation ov-r
tyrannous methods, or what may be
thought to be exhorbltant rates, lead us
to enterpi ise which may result calam
itously." l.KT WHLL UNOl'GII AI.UNK.
One of the city's soundest business
men writes as follows:
"In view of the really splendid water
supply enjoyed by our city and the fact
that for many years no one has ever
called a halt on tin. free and unlimited
use of water under the worst conditions
of drought and the further fact that
prices have been as reasonable as for
other cities, I urn inclined to favor let
ting well enough alone."
The letter of 0110 of tlie men who have
largely contributed to make Seranum
what she is, is printed below in full:
"Replying to your circular letter of
Nov. -2, I would fay, in answer to your
first question, that I consider It very
inadvisable that the city should own
its own water system, as under the
geneial conditions of municipal govern
ment the water could not be freed from
politics, and a private enterprise would
give better service nt a more reason
able cost, in my judgment.
"Admitting for a moment that it is
deslrableforit to go In the water busi
ness, the only possible way for it to get
a sufiicient supply of water would bo
to purchase the Scranton Gas and
Water company which I do not think
could be purchased at a price that
would pay the city to undertake It. It
is not possible m my judgment to get
an adequate supply of pute water out
side of that controlled by the Scranton
Gas and Water company at anything
else than 11 prohibitive cost. The water
of the Kusquehannii. river would not be
suitable for domes-tie supply nor as
good as the present supply for steam
purposes as it is largely impregnated
with lime.
KSTDIATi: IMPOSSinLK.
"It would be impossible for anyone to
make a leasouahle estimate of the
amount neiessary to expend in outer
for the city to own its own water sys
tem. On a li'.-j o.' -i per cent basis 011
its earning capacity, after the expeiires
of opeiation and malntenence are
covered, it might be possible to gel a
fair Idea of the value of the company
but It must be borne in mind that laire
expenditures are necessary In any sys
tem for new resourvols, new mams and
blanches, to take care of the gradual
growth of the system, and this would
be practically true of the local system.
You would also have to bear in mind
iu considering 'he .Scranton Gas and
'Water company, that It lias the contiol
and distribution of water not In the
power of the city to deal with.
"As ti taxpayer I should object to the
city considering1 lor a muineiit going
Into the water business, as the con
stant changes ot' administration and
employees connected with this service
would undobtedlv result in Inefllclent
service and greatly Increased cost to
tlie consumer or taxpayer,"
The letters keap coming In with every
mall and the recorder cannot help but
secure many valuable suggestions fiom
them.
