"KICKER" KICKED,
A Lengthy Oommudloation on the
Water Question.
Editor HeiUld : Presuming that li
tho Interoatof fair play you will allow at
answor to Kicker's lotter in Saturday's
Issue of th HiRALD Is my only scute foi
this writing. Our irlend, the Kicker, hw
no doubt received an oyo oponer lor the
tlmo ho dovotod in formulating his letter,
honco I find no fault with him for dolnf,
what ho is paid for. I admit his claims t
being a citizen and a taxpayer, and when 1
say that I am a clllzen and taxpayer of '2:
years standing he will Bdtn't the same ; and
f Mr. Elitor, this is a claim for space in
your paper, you will favor me by publish
ing this. I am in favor of public water
works, especially when there isapossibilitj
of tho pcoplo realizing tho big dlvidenih
the holders of tho Shenandoah .vater
Company stock have bcoa receiving from
their nlant. Ho gives as a reason for
kicking that tho question is not eubmitteo
to tho poople. ThiB inclinos me to thi
belief that ho has walor stock, for I havi
heard this argument advanced more t ai
onco by tho representatives of the w ter
company. I have heard also ono wh
'opteeenloda very large block ot water
siock say that 8150,000 would be usod in
preventing the borough putting in a water
plant. Knowing as I do, from a peona
knowledge, that this money could not b
us d to in fluonco tho action of tho members
of tho council's walercoinmittee, I take foi
granlod that it would bo used in buying
voles at the polls, should tho question be
submitted, thoroby deteatine tbo will ol
tho pooplo.
Kicker's criticism of tho membors of the
council who are members of tho water
committee is unlust. I challenge bim to
compare tho wotk of these gentlemen with
that of tbo membors who are endeavoring
to obstruct the work of tho wator com
mittotf. Mr. James has bon a momber ol
council for several years and I defy him to
point ono act that was not in keeping with
right, as he knows it. Ho may not bo a verj
brilliant financier, but, in my opinion, it
does not req lire a .John Sherman to figure
20 per cent, from a plant that will cost
$100,000, when a plant for which the water
company people want $125 000, pays iron
85 to 100 per cent. What say, you Mr
Editor?.
Too stono crusher referred to in his
lotter I say, without fear of successful con
tradiction, was opposod by Mr. James for
the last two years ; not because he thought
it would not pay if properly handled, but
becauso ho know tho men who would con
trol it ; and thore it stands, a monument to
their stupidity and ignorance "Was he
wrong? I believe not. The council re.
cords show that t J provent the street comr
mittee and their creature spending tbo
whole tax duplicate on this crusher they
had to doubln up. "Who are the mombers
of this street committee, and where are
thoy found oa this question of water ? Let
me tell you. They would vote "yes" to
giving $125,000 for the old water plant and
expect tho water committee to give them
100 per cent, moro value for $55,000.
Kicker would like to know the rating of
tho gontlemon who, in tho interost of the
poople, had tbo courago of their convic
tions and votod for the adoption of tho
the resolutions that will give the poople of
Shenandoah more value for their money
thon they have over received before at the
last meeting of tho Borough C. uncil. I
cballonge a comparison, financially,
morally, intellectually, and for honest
dealing with tho opposing members. To
do this you will not have to devote much
timo. Not moro than it takes to ask tbe
question. Has it ever occurred to you to
inquire as to whether Messrs. Janus,
Iiamb, Gable, or AVurm had a brother on
the police force, or a son as the clerk of
Council. If tbo Kicker will only leavo his
namo and address with tho secretary of the
joint committee I assure him ho will re
coive cue notice ol tho timo and p.ate ot
holding their meeting and a special invi
Ulion to be present, but like Iho member
from the Second ward, who is a member
of tho joint committee, and whoconfes.e3
at the last meeting of Council that ho knew
nothing that was being done, for tho Teu
ton that ho cared so little ho ould not at'
tond their meetings and would have no ex
cuse for tho part ho is p aying on thi
question. I will say, in answer to his
question, that neither Messrs. Lamb, Cable
or Wurm will lose anything by not being
returned to Ojuncil from their respective
wards, but let mo tell him that it will cost
tho friends of the water company one
year's dividend1) and leavo the borough at
tho mercy of a lot of stockholders who,
havo left tbe town, or propose to as soon as
they can seo their holdings.
Will the Kiokor ploaso investigate the
part played by two of the mi uth-pieces of
tho water company in tbe Borough Council
in tbo matlor of adopting the first ordinance
giving the right of way to tho electric rail'
way. One of those fellows was so well
filled that he could not repoat hit little
piece, notwithstanding his promptor was
toatod right bohind him. Another who
gave the Johnston Manufacturing Com
pany a monopoly of furnishing tbo rail for
the road, is holding a position that was
giver, lum by tho influence of tbe politician
who was to be benefited by this monopoly
Mr. Editor, these are facts that tbo Kicker
can, by investigating just a little, find out
to his satisfaction. If I did not know tbo
members of council who I refer to I would
possibly havo a littlo better fooling toward
the old water company, but knowing, as
do, tho men they have-employed to help
them out of tho bole they voluntarily went
into, I have no sympathy to waste on
them. FmsT "Ward Citizen,
