TT is fair and just that bpth sides should be heard in a vital issue of this nature.

It is the type of issue that enters directly and intimately into almost every home of the general community. Water, and the best of mountain spring water in plentiful supply, has long been a boast of our civic boosters. The supply is here and here to stay. Nothing connected with the utility excepting its ownership and management can be moved away. Hence the issue is on our hands as individual citizens and communities as to how best the whole problem thus imposed can be worked out.

It would seem far better to approach such solution in a spirit of unbiased investigation and discussion than to hear only one side of the argument advanced. THE Water Company under some 1 ownership will be with us as long as our communities exist How to handle the issue of ownership can be decided by reason and the marshaling of all facts possible to obtain to be presented in evidence by each side. The page advertisement today seems to start the ball rolling in public discussion and possibly reaching a decision in this case. We have Introduced the subject today but ultimately the. water consumer and taxpayer of the general community must lend a hand in determining what is the best course to it can liquidate the present company and thus scatter its present ownership widely over the country.

TJPON grounds that the present sit- uation of the local subsidiary has been misunderstood by the communities affected, the holdings company has arranged with the press of the area involved in a choice of methods to be employed in disposing of its outlawed water supply units to state its case on a regular advertising basis. There can be no objection to such a plan. Corporations have the same ethical right as individuals to advertise within limits of publishers' rules. That fact, however, does not involve the support of the press in its constitutional right to speak its own mind on same subject or imply an attempt to discourage the same expression in the same manner on the part of those who oppose the purpose of the corporation's plan. THIS newspaper has long criticised 1 the conduct of the Scranton-Spring Brook Water Service Company since it passed into ownership of the Federal It was almost the last of our large corporate entities to slip from local to outside control.

With but few exceptions this form of change in ownership and management has spelled trouble 'in some manner or other. Oitimes, and -too often, it has meant the removal of an established industry from this community to the main plant of the purchasing corporation. That form of disadvantage cannot be followed where a public utility Is sold down the river by its local stockholders. But the fact remains that even where the enterprise must remain as a local TSE corporation itself has some- Ta email prlo charred for compute, ore fitted by Or.
