He charges that WilkesBarre is backward in the water problem and urges concerted effort. His Statement: "There is no desire on the part of wow the proponents of municipal ownership to do or any thing that would in any say, injure the work of waging the fight against an increase in water rates before the Service Commission.

Even though successful in preventing an increase this year. there is nothing to hinder the company from filing an advance next year.

I can't see how the people of the valley can afford to make an annual affair of this raising money. to fight a huge, conscienceless corporation. We, as city, are backward. All the other cities of any size in Pennsylvania are owners and operators of their water systems. If they can do it, are we going to acknowledge our inability to pattern after them? "Wilkes-Barre City is not stand-ing as a municipality in this fight.

We anxious to cement further the bond of affection that exists between the various townships, municipalities and cities of this great valley. It is not a question of WilkesBarre hogging the matter. It is a question of all for and one for all. "A man came to me the other day and told about the inspectors that are working for the company. He said inspector told him that the valve that drains his furnace to keep it from rusting in.

We are not losing sight of the fact that municipal ownership will have to be the order of the day. "One of the dailies of WilkesHarre said a few days ago that if this effort before the commission de and later a court fight availed nothing that the question of municipal ownership would be taken up in earnest.

The people are with us. Our cause is just. While there 1s no fanfare of trumpets and no hiring of lawyers, our cause is going forward We are assured of victory. would like to see editorial writers in the city take a stand with the people in editorial columns. We should either be condemned or commended editorially.
