Will be no excuse for a scarcity of
water.
Foil the Information of our con
temporary, the Journal, we say the
people are not up In arms against the
electric railway.
, The miners along the line of the
electric railway are more than satisfied
with the low rates offered them. They
could not have asked for better ones.
The Street Committee will stand
by the electrlo railway. No one ques
tions that, and what Is more, the rail
way will be built and In running or
der some tlmo In February.
Our tdltorlal friends below the

tThei war cloud among the corporations
will not burst. There will be peace all

were our voters permitted to vote oh
the question of a city charter at the
next election, it -would be carried by a

dropped from the eyes of many people
who were opposed to the change a,
year ago.
4 If the telegraphic dlepatchee from
Hazjeton are true, that place will, have
no use for Its brand new city .charter.
There are signs of properties saving
in in different parts and people are
becoming alarmed unnecessarily, we
believe. At all events, Editor Maue

Pennsylvania's finances are in
very creditable and satisfactory shape.

vember 80 which Is Just out shows a1
balance of nearly seven irillliona In
the treasury. The total receipts for
the year wera nearly seventeen mil
lions and. a half, an increase of ?4,
581,242 64 over the previous year's
receipts. No stato in the Union has a
better system of taxation, most of its
money coming out of corporation
profits, collateral inheritances, mort
gages and licenses. These subjects like
all subjects of taxation, reach the
people finally, but it is in the indirect
manner in which the burden is least
felt by them.

IT IS ALLWATER.
WATER HERB, "WATER THERE
ANDWATER EVERYWHERE.
THE TOWN IS ACTUALLY FLOODED.
Thq Wator Company Injunctions,
Combined With the Heavy
Falls of Rain, Gives us a
Wet Season.
In conversation with a Herald reporter
yesterday afternoon Mr. E. J. Wasloy,
treasurer of the Shenandoah Waler and
Gas Company said: "Thorn are many
people in town who do not seom to under
stand why our, company bad an injunction
ssued against the electric railway. The
Water company's ' position Is this: Our
attorneys advised us that if we would sit
Idly by and let the electrio railway com
pany run over our pipe linos, and not say
anything, in the iuiuro, should we have a
break of pipe, or' any of our plpos should
pull apart, as they do. by tho settling of
the ground, or Bhould we wish to repair the
pipes in any way, that wo would, of course,
have to dig up the streets to get at them
and, probably, pull down tho railway and
stop traffic on it. In that case tho elec
tric railway people could fall upon
the water company for damages. Some
people of town have said that we just want
to hinder and obstruct the work of the
railway, bnt such is - not 'our object. Our
reasons for securing tho injunction are just
at above stated, Tho railway people? aro as
arixlbimd keep oft bf our pipe line as we
aTe to keep them (iff 'ahcTthey have' so ex;
pressed tb'emseWes,"but the B6rough'Goun
Oil bak instructed tho railway company 'to
run (n the con tor bf the street and the
water Cothpany Was obliged' to obtain tho
InlunctTori'to protect Itself against the fu.
turai " Another thing ! 'this injunction 'was
not obtained on the spur of a moment.
The water company, about a month ago.
served notice on too electrlo railway
company not to lay its rails over the pipes'
and also furnished it with maps showing
the pipe lines." , ,.
COUNCIL CRITICIZED.
Hints That a Compromise Should
ho Made.
Editor IIibald ; While there' is so
much being said and' done concerning the
proposed now wator works, will you please
allow me a space In your valuable paper to
give, my views on the question. I have
not had anything to say about our dandy
Council for some time, not because there
wasn't anything to say, but because I be
lieved It was simply useless to try and get
tbem to do what is right. There has not
beon, for many yoars, a Council organized
with brighter prospects (financially) for
doing good than tho present one.
With not a dollar of floating debt and a
treasury in a healthy condition they started
the fiscal year. Things moved along finely
for a short time. Odd Fellows' day was
celebrated at Tamaqua. Our Oouncilmen,
ready to do honor to this day, turned out
and went to Tamaqua, ostensibly for the
purpose of taking in tho parade, but in
reality to lako in tho stone- crusher. Ho'
suit No, 1. Swelled heads. Nothing but
a stone crusher will satisfy them. An
outraged public submit, while their desires
are gratified. Result No. 2. Stono crusher
is purchased, placed alongside of tho hill
pear Ellengowan, a shed erectod to hide it
from the gsza of the public, and wo are
S2.000 In the soup. A gracious public lor
gives and forgets. An agont for the Game-
well fire alarm system1 comes along and
lays his little pioco. Of course the coun
cilmon couldn't think of doing such an
dutragoous thing as to consider tho matter
at all. Kesult No. 8. Oontract is' given
the above named company and once more
wo aro In the soup to the extent oi $2,4C0,
Now, of course, they will quit. They
have covered themselves with glory (?)
have literally thrown almost fd.COO bf tho
people's money away, Thoy have a stone
crtisher that don't crush and will have a
fire alarm system to awaken' the horses by
night. But sU;b financial sobemes are
small matters, and not at all sultud
to the calibre of our statesmen,
and they aro no v going to establish wator
AOrks and spend from f 100,000 to $125,000.
Now they have their gait, and woe to the
man who would bo considerate enough to
cry, "Whoa I" One of our leading states
men reasons that if thoy spend 165.000,
which he claims they lawfully can do, and
the water works aren't finished, they will
go before the public and ask for more, and
if they don't get it they are not to blame,
No, the stone crushor don't work and tbey
alnt to blame for that, either. Wouldn't it
bo better and more In keeping with good
common sense to learn tho wishes of the
peopld concerning this matter? Now, It
should bo borne in mind that the election
to increase the debt f 1.5.000 took place more
than ten years ago. Publlo sentiment may
have changed since that time aid In all
falrnoa o tho publlo they shbuld now be
allowed-to express their wishes,' when it
comes to a question of spending f 125,000,
and not 15,000. What if the old company
does make 80 to 100 per cent, on their
investment. Tho citizens of this place ar
not paying as much for water as thoy are li
the otber parts of our county. Private on
ter'prlsos of any kind should be1 encour
nged, and not subj cted to the eelllshn si o)
some oi our would-bo leading citizens, wb 1
ire In the van in this new Water works en
torprlso, not because they care for the wel
fare of the borough, but to gratify the!
selfish ends, and to give vent to their here
tofore pent-up feelings concerning the old
Company, simply because thoy ain't in it
Shall we bo compelled to pay for such
things as these? Will not some of out
councllmen open their eyes, arid see things
In tbeir true light? I don't believe th?r
are a hundred people in this place who be
lieve in or want now water work'. I do
believe that If an agreement were made
with the old company to satisfy tho judg
ment thoy hold against the borough, pay
all expenses incurred thus far, and givn
the borough free water, a sonslble con
elusion would be reached, and oco of some
good to every taxpayer in this place. Let
something of this kind be done at once and
stop this childish business.
