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.

DRIFTON ITEMS.
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.

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.
