DLL KM HER 2, 1895. Borough Control of Light anil Water. That even- municipality should own. control and operate plants for lighting and supplying water in its territory is a proposition which, when advocated lirst in this country, was frowned upon and viewed by many as a species of socialism that ought not be countenanced or en couraged. There have been radical changes of opinion on many subjects in recent years, however, and the public seems disposed to look upon this with a kindlier eye than before. In fact, dozens of cities and towns arc enjoying the advantages that can bo derived from this form of public co-operation. The belief, once so strenuously main tained, that franchises of such charac ter were only for corporations or private individuals to possess is rapidly losing ground, and there is not a city or town of any size in the country wherein the proposition to obtain municipal control lias not been advanced. The plan lias >ouie disadvantages, and a few towns have found the experiment a costly one, but in nearly every instance the cause of failur • could be traced to mismanage ment or petty jobbery. In Freeland. it can be truthfully said, the necessity of having the light and water under borough control is not so pressing as in some places, nevertheless the principle involved would not allow an exception to be made here, were it feasible at present to advocate the •diange. The financial condition of the borough is such, however, that it is nothing but an utter waste of time to talk of having this town control either its light or water plant. Some bonds which J 'ceutiy matured were defaulted last month, there is a floating indebted ness of nearly $1,(100, the treasury is about empty, and all the uionby that will come iu for some years will be re quired to pay off the cost of laying pro posed new sewers, opening and Improv ing streets, etc. At the present rati; of expenditures the money received from taxes, about $2,700, does not begin to pay the bills as they come due, and, by adding the $0,500 received as its share of the liquor licenses, the borough has barely enough to meet current expenses. of course, to carry out a plan to buy or erect a light or water plant, or both, .mother issue of bonds might be sanc tioned by tiie voters, but even that is ut of the question for some time. The : is-mssed valuation of the borough is i 7182,173. and the present bonded indebt edness is $3,905. The law formerly al lowed boroughs to be bonded to 7 per cent of their assessed valuation, but this limit was lately reduced to 2 per cent, which in Freolaiid would amount to only $3,013. From this it can be seen that there has been issued al ready over S3OO worth of bonds more than the law. as revised, will allow, and no more can be issued until the bonded indebtedness is reduced to below $3,043. I or the valuation increased. The amount of money that the borough would be al lowed to borrow, if there were no bonds whatever to redeem, is so small that it would bo useless to try to apply it for tin purpose mentioned, The TIUIII NK has steadily advocated municipal control of light and water i works, and we still consider it to be a I i better plan than to depend on corpora- ! ' tions or private individuals; neverthe less we cannot see how the people of Freeland can secure a plant of either kind under present circumstances. The time may come, perhaps, when the fi nances of the borough will bo in a con dition to take up the question for dis | mission. and until thon the project must, • take its place on the shelf with many j other improvements which progressive citizens would like to see inaugurated. The Result Not Dissimilar. The result iu 1895 is not dissimilar to i that of 1890 and 1892 except in a fact that in one Instance the Republican party was the sufferer and in the other the Democrats. The Republicans ob tained power in 1888 on a pledge of tariff revision iu the interest of the masses. ! That pledge was violated by the passage : of the odious measure of 1890. The tariff of 1894, though a measurable im- ! ! provement upon the tariff of 1890, Is full of cowardly compromises. It is not I the measure the people had a right to expect, in their indignation they have thrust the Democrats out of power in j congress and put the Republicans hack, li remains to be seen whether in the in terim of popular repudiation the Repub licans have learned anything.— Phila. j Record, PLEASURE CALENDAR.

It is reported that there are not nearly as many of the superintendents and foremen included in the bequests of tin late Mr. Coxo as was at first supposed, and that the amount bequeathed to em ployes in the codocil is not $26,000, as previously stated, but $21,000. The Le high university, it is also said, will receive SII,OOO. The money will bo paid to the favored ones upon the death of Mrs. Coxo, and in the meantime the legatees will receive interest upon their amounts at 4 per cent yearly. The breaker worked steadily every day last week. On Friday there was an -xtra long shift. Commencing at 6.25 a. in. it ran until 11.30 o'clock, when an intermission of half an hour was taken lor dinner. At 12 noon It started again, and continued without interruption un til 11,30 that night. Lewis Ortner, Samuel Cunningham and Stewart Macfarlane spent Thanks giving Day at their homes here. The lirst two named are students at Lehigh university and the last at a college in Andover, Mass. William Brogan, of Freeland, employ ed in the boiler shop here, had two lingers on his right hand injured by a heavy plank falling on them last week. Quito a number of our residents at iended the funeral of the lute Patrick Early, of Reaver Meadow, on Friday. The < mployes of the Cross Creek Coal Company were paid on Friday. JOURNALISTIC. After last Saturday's issue the White Haven Journal changed ownership. W. A. Feist, who for sixteen years has been at its helm, has disposed of it to Messrs. Witiner A Ray, of that town, and will for the future devote all his time to his theatrical and show printing plant. Mr. Feist's friends in the publishing business are legion, and he made them by pursuing an honest, upright course in journalism. If the new publishers of the Journal will follow iu the ex-editor's footsteps there will be no question of their success. The Philadelphia Inquirer is authority for the report that Congressman Leisen ring is going into the newspaper bus!- i ness. The Wilkesbarre Record is said to lie the paper that ho will acquire. The Weatherly Herald has donned a j new dress of type and made other im- j provemcnts in its appearance which places it in the front row of Carbon county newspapers. Machines now do the type-setting for ihe Wilkesbarre Newsdealer, and the change from the old method makes a vast improvement in the typographical ap pearance of that sprightly paper.
