open for an area of ton acres or moro

Tho Wator Company Question
Remains tho ProvaUIng Local
Toplo for Discussion Tho
Mass Mooting To-night.
Appearances indicate that tho call far a
mass mooting of citizens of town will be
responded to by tho attonaanco of a largo
number in liobblns1 opora house to-night.
Whio there seems to bo a strong senti
ment in favor of tho formation of now
water works, many of thoso in favor of it
will sanction tho movement upon ono con
dition only, and that is that tho now works
shall bo a public undertaking; that tho
borough shall take hold of tho pchemo and
issuo bonds to defray the oxponso.
This viow is held by many who say that
to mako tho proposed now works a privato
undertaking would bo a firco. A pub'io
water works alono can bo oxpoctod to ac
complish tho object for which tho mass
meeting for to-night has been cal'.ed. If
now works aro established and loft under
the control of a privato corporation what'
over relief may bo afforded trio peoplo will
only bo temporary, for tho history of
privato local corporations is that thoy can
not withstandjtho temptation to pool their
issues. As an Instance, tho consolidation
of tho ga3 and oloctric light cotnpanios may
bo cited.
It is understood by most of tho pooplo
that tho meeting to-night is culled for tho
purposo of having public expressions of
sentimonts on a proposition to organize
public water works to bo ownod and con
trolled by the borough and thero ore many
warm eupportors of the proposition; but
should tho meeting dovelop an undertak
ingto organizo another privato company it
will bo found that few people will bo ready
to encourage it.
If water reform Is wanted the peoplo
must control tho now plant.

NEWS GATHERED HERE AND THERE
What la Bolng Dono at Mahanoy
City and Ashland In Roforonco
to tho Admission of tho
Eiootrlo Road.
From the "Trl-Wcokly Ileeord."
tin Important conference took placo at
tho Union National Bank on Saturday
evening botwoon tho special committeo of
Council on oloctric railway, Messrs. O. O,
Lewis, Jacob West and B. T. Lowis,
Solicitor T. H. B. Lyon and Secretary E.
S. Belnhold, and tho following gontlomon
representing tho propnsod buildors oi the
Mabanoy City, Shenandoah, Ashland and
Girardvillo Electric Hallway, Messrs. J. K
Coylo, solicitor, J. F. Finney, of Shonan'
doah, and C. Eberlo, of Philadelphia.
It dovolopou in the courso of tho con
ference that tho Oirlislo gontlomen who
aro putting up tho capital for the road are
interested in sovcral oloctric railways
throughout the state. Porsons familiar
with their commercial standing speak of
them as mon of largo means, abundantly
able to carry to a successful issue tho enter
prise. Mr. Ebcrlo, electric cnginoer, is tho
gentleman who constructed tho Pottsvillo
oloctric railway, and who paid a visit to
town whon tho projoct of building a road
was under consideration by town parties,
llo is an electrical export, whoo knowl
odgo of things in connection with work of
this character is comprohensivo. Mr,
Finnoy, who was with him, and whoso
presonco is accounted for by tho rumor that
bo is to bo secretary of the company,
yory much intorosted in having a favorablo
consideration of tho petition prosontod to
Council by tho company.
It is, porhaps, no longer a secrot that tho
capitalists back of tho entorpriso aro rosi
dents of Carlisle, Pa., among them such
well-known men a3 Judge Wra. F. Sadler,
President of tho company, Messrs. J. II.
Baslor, M. F. Thompson, Dr. Neff, E.
Biddlo, and others. Not a dollar of tho
stock is hold by Shenandoah parlies, and
whon it was montioncd to Mr. Eborlo that
thero was fear that the road would bo run
in Shonandoah's interest, ho laughod at the
idoa.
Tho company proposes to run a line
straight from hero to Ashland. A branch
of tho road will start off at St. Nicholas,
going over tho hill to Shenandoah. Every
second car coming up tho valloy will movo
directly up to Mahanoy City. Tho num
bor of cars, frcquoncy of trips, &c, will bo
regulated by tho exigencies ol the business.
Tho object of tho company in asking for
tho right to lay tracks on Main stroet, is
with tho intontion to extend tho line via
Park Place, Delano, Grior City to Lake
side Tho rnuto to Lakeside, via Buck
Mountain, has boon gono over by tho en
gineers and pronounced impracticable on
account of tho steep inclino of tho hill on
the castsido. Tbo largor population on tho
lino of tho Dolano routo is also an essential
consideration in its favor. It is also a very
dosirablo thing for our business peoplo, as
it opens up to moro convenient communi
cation a district tributary to Mahanoy City
trade. Thoro will bo throe power stations
on tho routo as above outlined. Ono at
Itappahannock, ono at St. Nicholas and
anothor at Shoemaker's.
About tho only hitch botwoon tho oloc
tric railway peoplo and tho committeo in
conference was on tho question of rail.
Tho company deslro3 to lay "T" rail in tho
borough and tho commitloo was inclined to
insist upon flat rail. Mr. Eberle explained
that if compelled to use flat rail in the
borough, it would bo nocossary on reach
ing tho limits of tho borough to stop tho
cars, take off tbo wheels and put on wheels
suitable for tbo "V rail which would bo
used on tho township road, as thosamo
wheols will not do for both rails. Tho
advantago of tho "T" rail was that it
pormitted faster running of tho cars, is
safer and in ovory respect moro dosirab'.o.
It was decided that tho committeo should
visit Allontown and Bethlehem to-day at
tho exponeo of tho oloctrio railway com
pany and mako inquirlos of tho peoplo
thoro, whothor thero was any objection to
tho "T" rail, and investigate the subject
thoroughly.
