A Lewistown paper in a recent issue said: "Th unity commissioners are to be commended for abolishing the absurd custom lit' assessing valuations on, the one-third Imsls. Of course ii will be their duty to change the mill rate in proportion. The old system no! only fulled to give the county a proper valu ation on its wealth and resources, but would have prevented Lewlstown from assuming municlpnl ownership of its water and light privileges, even it the i -it i.riis had so desired." This i :i proposition that should be considered by the commissioners of Snyder Countv. II the citizens of Middlcbttrg should decide to put in watcrworks.il is extremely doubtful it' they could do it under municipal ownership, because tlie total indebtedness ol the borough for the new school house and water works would probably make the debt higher than the law would permit under the present assessment valuation. I c the borough ol Middleburg should desire to install water works now, it would have no alter native, hut to give the contract to a corporation. It is probable that the citizens generally would oppose water works if'it were to be given to a corporation, while they would favor the improve ment if it could be put in and controlled by the municipality, fa corporation puts the plant in, it would certainly expect to charge a profit for the use I' the water and for that reason it is fair to presume that the municipality could furnish water at a lower cost than a corporation. The same is true in iheborough of Selinsgrove, should they desire to bond their town for any im provements in addition to the electric light plant The idea of giving a false valuation of property is wrong to begin with and when it works injus tice in addition, the matter should be speedily rectified. one-third off in price.
