But some loophole or other in legal procedure prevented later conviction of those who were nlussed when Earl Godwin, the nibble for control.

On top of this, some two years ago the Federal' people first approached county commissioners and other municipal heads with an idea of disposing of its blue sky holdings to a local Municipal Authority permissible under recently passed state laws.

"THE subject of local water supply 1 is exactly 100 "years old this year. Back in 1844 the first meeting of local sponsors was held in the old Phoenix Hotel with George W. Hol-lenback presiding.

But like most ventures of that period where stock subscriptions were involved, the project dragged for 5 years before the Wilkes-Barre Water Company was incorporated and pipes were laid to the Borough from a reservoir on top of the mountain at Laurel Run. A later supply came from Mill Creek. Starting with four reservoirs in 1896 the company expanded ita operaUons rapidly. The financial success pf this first company led to promotion of many others, notable among which was the Plymouth Water Company. Then came an urge to merge.

They have been declared monopolies by high court decision. Consequently they must dispose of the stock and other securities held In such concerns as have been judged to constitute a monopoly. The Pullman interests are in the same boat They were railroad ear builders, sole owners of sleeping and parlor cars and controlled also tha business of selling pullman reservations wherever their cars traveled.
