TRUE REFORM,
THE BOROUGH SHOULD OWN
A LIGHT PLANT.
WHITE HAVEN HAS ITS OWN
And Public and Private Blootrio
Lights are Supplied at Almost
a Nominal Figuro Stroet
Paving.
HE STATEMENT
by ono of our Coun
cilmon that the bor
ough is in a position
to pay off every cent
of its indebtedness is
gratifying as It is sur
prising. We hope
the statement is back
od by facts.for if it is there is no reason why
tho streets should not be paved and the
borough may just as well havo Its own olot
trio illuminating plant.
For tho benefit of our Councllmcn and
taxpayers wo rofor to an article just pub.
lisbed in tho Frooland Progress. It says
that "White Haven has the cheapest
illumination of any town in the state.
The streets are lighted by 2,000-candle
power electric lights and tho total cost
less than $000 per year. The private resi
dences, too, aro illuminated at a compara
tively trifling cost 20 cents per month for
each 16-candlo powor incandescent light
Tho low rate is duo to tho borough own
ing tho plant and the fact that the dyna
mics are propelled by water from the
Lehigh river, which power tho borough
enjoys without cost.
Now if our pooplo should decide to havo
thoir own water works they would be
the samo position as White Uaven is for
motor power, but if the water works do
not materialize we havo culm banks and
other sourcos from which cheap luol
bo secured in abundance.
Now is time for reform all around. Ou
Councilmen, who say tho borough is in
position to free itself of debt, should now
bo a position to givo the poor pooplo
town employment by deciding to - per
manently Improve tho striets by paving.
This work, coupled with tho contomplated
work on tho borough wator works, would
make Shenandoah a veritable bee-hive.
Lot tho Councilmen bo honest in thoir
roform doclarations.

, Deserves Condemnation,
Whotppr.or, not tho authors of that cir
cular which was distributed about Shonan
doah meant to perpetrate a joko or whether
they wero serious in their purpose, thoir
action deserves tho severest condemnation.
Aaajoke it should be, condemned because
it dofamdd an industrious and law-abiding
class of citizens. If the circular was in
tended to inflame the hatred of one class of
people for another, it dosorves not only
condemnation, but tho instigators of tho
outrage should bo treated with tho law's
strongest hand. Peaceable American com
munities havo no room for anything that
