The engineer also stated if satisfactory terms or contracts cannot he made with the Schuylkill Haven Gas and Water Company, the only solution to the problem would be to build a municipal plant and abide by the results.

Jhere seems to be a rumor about the town that Engineer Hatton several years ago was in the employ of prncti- eally the same syndicate that control? the Schuylkill Haven Gas and Water Company," that he is no doubt connected jvith this syndicate now and that he figured rather high bo that the idea of the through installing a water system would fcppear unfavorable, from the figures presented. In view of conclusive proof to the contrary, wc believe the figures and deductions of the engineer -were made with clean, honest and motives, and wish to say. that it Ss generally the case in estimating on (the construction of a home, mill, railroad er whatsoever it may be, the estimate is always made a little high to offset the innumerable "extras" which invariably make their appearance. The Schuylkill Haven Gas and Water is preparing and specifi for a nitrification plant at Tumb that every elector in tins borough is broad-minded enough to fathom the Intricacies of tins question to such an extent that they will vote favorable, thereby giving the Borough Council the privilege of expending this amount, if necessary, to sceme an adequate and sufficient supply of water. Therefore The Call appeals to each and every elector in Schuylkill Haven ami strongly urges him to vote "Yes" at the special election, that the day of solution of the water question will at least be hastened.
