30 YEARS AGO
1...A ten hour working day for six days a week was still
common. :
Y 2...The Saturday half holiday was practically unknown.
od 3...The X-Ray was just coming into use.
4...1t was not known that typhoid was caused by un-
clean water.
5... The President of the United States had not yet had
his salary raised from $50,000 to $75,000 a year.
78 6...Dry goods merchants were prophesying that “The
7a3 shirtwaist has come to stay.
¥ 7...Childs sold three buttercakes for a nickel.

9...The ladies were writing lydia Pinkham testimonials
instead of cigarette endorsements.
11...Workmen at Cornell, Cioton Dam, N.Y., struck for an
advance from $1.25 to $1.50 a day.
12... The Police Gazette had not yet given up its place
in the Barber Shop to the Ladiss' Home Journal.
A. for 30 years water rates in Lackawanna and Wyoming
valleys have remained unchanged. :
The cost of labor and material has soared not only in the
entire period embraced by the last three decades but in the
comparatively brief interval since Germany asked waivers on
the Kaiser. :
And because we ask for a 25% rate increase, which is less
than a 7% return on the cash we invested here, the editor of
' the Scranton Times likens us to Jesse James.
Harken to ye editor:
“ Jesse James never performed a bolder holdup than
is now being attempted by the group in control of
the Scranton-Spring Brook Water Service Company.
We don’t know how much cash the publisher of the Scranton
Times has invested in his plant; but we feel safe in hazarding a
guess that he is reaping more than 7 % return cn his money.
Overlooking for the minute any question of merit in this con-
troversy we wish to remark that it isn’t necessary to love the
Water Company. If you refrain from peddling fiction about it,
you are doing well enough.
