Tw SPENT OYER THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS In Three Years and Hadzil Has No 'Money to Pay His Fine An Em bezzlement Charge.

Wassil Hadzil, alias Wassil Cusick, ho was arrested last Sunday for raising a at his boarding house on Jackson street and again on Tuesday afternoon for being drunk and leaving his little girl out in the cold air of the street, was given a hearing before Magistrate Charles in police court yesterday afternoon and committed to the county jail for fifteen days, to be given a chance to straighten up. As reported in this department yesterday morning his little girl was given in charge of the sisters at St. Patrick's orphan school by Sergeant Lowry, where she will be kept until some disposition is made of the case. Wassil has quite an interesting history. Three years ago he was possessed of considerable means, residing on Clearview and having property worth at least 10,000, besides 18,000 in a bank.

His intemperate and dissolute habits caused his wife become disgusted with him and she is said to have run away with a boarder they have been living in Taylor.

Mr. Cooper's kindly nature prompted him to offer to go Lid ditk's bail, but being the prosecutor the magistrate could not accept his bond. Other bail was soon secured and Liddick was given his liberty.

Trunk Department on Third Floor Back of Elevator. About Scranton Water Talk No. 22 Now. let us sum up this question of filtration. To filter the quantity of water the City of Scranton! now uses, as we have already shown you; would cost $124,392 a year, or the equivalent of practically five per cent on the present capital stock of the Scranton Gas and Water Company which is $2,500,000.

But this company is only paying four per cent dividends now, and its thirty three stockholders cannot afford to assume any such obligation as an increase of $124,392 a year in this company's running expenses. We cannot ask them to forego even the small dividend they now receive and then supply more money to make up a deficit in this company's running expenses. The only alternative (if filtration be necessary) is for the consumers to pay the cost of it; and this means that it would be necessary to add five dollars to the present family rate for water. YOU don't want that and we don't want it either. We believe that nitration is not necessary; but in the course of the next few this point will be settled positively, to YOUR satisfaction as well as ours.

On or about April 15th. we shall return to the original method of operating Scrantoh's water system, the way in which it was planned and intended to be operated and the way in which it was operated for thirty three years without harm to anybody. Now understand this: When it is again so operated our new Testing Laboratory, by means of chemical and bacteriological analyses made EVERY DAY, will show AT ONCE and POSITIVELY whether the water is all right will enable us to know its exact condition at all times, and, (if anything should be found wrong with it) to take prompt and efficient measures to make it all right. We want YOU to know and understand and realize fully this one thing: WE ARE DETERMINED TO KEEP SCRANTON'S WATER SUPPLY PURE AND WHOLESOME. To that end, as we have already shown you, we have spent $50,000 since last December in abating every POSSIBLE MEN ACE on the watersheds.

YOU know that the Villages of Moscow and Nay Aug have no sewers. Each house on Roaring Brook Watershed has its individual closet or vault. Under the supervision of the State Health Department we have sealed up and made antiseptic every one of those places that could be conceived as a possible source of danger, in order to prevent any impurity from sewage from reaching Roaring Brook water. And bacteriological analyses of that water made EVERY DAY for the last six weeks have failed to find any disease germs in that water. No proposal has ever been made to us by any committee or other delegation from Moscow or Nay Aug concerning the sewering of those villages.

The idea of a pipe line sewer more than nine miles long from Moscow around Elmhurst to a point below Reservoir No. 7 is impracticable not alone from its prohibitive cost (which would approximate $250,000) but from the nature of the ground: there is not room enough at many points along Roaring Brook for such a pipe line. Although we have fixed everything there to the satisfaction ot the State Health Department, nevertheless if the villages of Moscow and Nay Aug (or either of them) should ever desire to build a first class sewer system, the Scranton Gas and Water Company is ready and willing to provide the necessary land and build at its own cost a septic tank and filter bed to take care of the sewage of each village, such as we have built for the Lonsdorf Hotel at Moscow and which Is now working satisfactorily. This would be vastly better than any pipe line sewer could be. NOTE.

Each day you will find here something new on the subject of Scranton's water supply and itirela tiona to the People of this community. This will interest YOU. Read it carefully each day, and ponder it well Our endeavor is 0 serve the best interests of the public. Scranton Gas and Water Company y. SCRANTON.
