money on the job. another, of course, can do
the same.
This brings me to the question as TO whether
the township wants new plant. l say not
The township cannot afford to put in a new
plant while an organization exists that now
has the consumers and can afford, IN view of
past profits, to cut the rates for several years
TO come, below any that would be named by
the township, People viii not spend $40 or Si5
to be connected with new pipe when they
can get the same or lower rate from the old
concern. On tine other hand, if the town
owned the Old plant and, therefore, had the
consumers connected thereto, new organ liza
tion would never start, for the reason that IL
could not afford to quote rates as low as the
township ana make any money. The town
ship would have the consumers and could
hold them. This. think, is piatn fact.
The question OF price tor the old plant is the
only one in my mind, to be eonsid sred and II
is here that there is likely to be trouble The
peoplesare not willing to pay price that VIII
let the stockholders have another handsome
profit on concern that has for years been a
monopoly, making outrageously high divt-
denes The old company would never have
agreed to sell had ii not been for the agitation
by the new concern, and would not now be
willing II not fearful of the result of eOmpeu-
ton. Therefore the price should be not only
moderate but Tom.
Another point TO be considered in relation
to price Is that, perhaps, two or three miles OF
pipes will have TO be reiatd by the township
and probably other improvements made. Some
of the present pipes are practically useless
and discredtt to the service. The cost of re-
placing these should be taken into cousidera-

The Water Question.

The stockholders of the Mount Holly
Water Company held a special meeting in
the Lewis building, on Wednesday even
ing, to discuss the subject of the town own
ing the water works.
There are 1900 shares of stock IN the
water company, and l 1920 of these were
represented B. Frank II. Shreye occu-
pied the chair, Henry C. Risdon acting as
secretary.
There were but two questions that
could be discussed at this meeting, viz :
"Does the town wish to purchase the
water works2" II so, els the Mount
Holly Water Company willing to sell p
The last question was taken up.
Franklin b. Lewis was the first speaker.
He said that he approved of the idea, and
he had personal knowledge where the
plan had worked well In this state.
Beach Haven had tried it and found il
satisfactory. Burlington city owns the
water plant, and the customers get good
prices, while the city does not suffer. Il
Mount Holly we're to own the plant, il
would benefit consumers, and the tax
PAYERS would not suffer to the extent OF &
dollar. There might be some legal OBJ
stacle in the way of the purchase, but tina
could be removed later. The agitation o
this subject did not originate with thu
water company but with the newspapers
and this was not an attempt to foist upol
the township a worthless property. TIT
water plant is valuable, and one on which
considerable money has been expended
B.F. H. Shreve gave an idea of the cos
of the works. Within the past six year
over $40 900 has been expended for i'm
provements. There are eleven miles O
pipe in the streets. two reservoirs, and
pumping station with two pumps.
Other stock holders who were presen
and spoke were: Wesley II. Slack, job

he would not come there until she SEM
for him, it being understood that he
would demonstrate his reformation. In
the summer of that year Middleton went
to the farm to live without being solicit
ed to do SO by his wife, and again began
his harsh treatment.
They continued to live together from
that time until October, 1890, and
| during that period his abuse and ILL
treatment was continued and was, if any
thing, more aggravated than it had pre-
viously BEEN Mrs Middleton then left
her husband for good, and after that his
familiarity with other women ceased to
be secret
The testimony was closed on Tuesday
morning, and the case argued, and imme-
diately decided by the Vice Chancellor in
favor of the wife,
The Vice Chancellor stated in his con-
clusion that the conduct of the plaintiff
did not harmonic with our ideas of pro-
priety in the 10Th century, and that the
wife would be allowed divorce from bed
and board for which she asked, and
maintenance by the husband, the amount
of which will be fixed at the next meet
ing of the court.
Mr.. Middleton was represented by
Timothy J. Middleton and John ]. Gran
dali, and the wife by Samuel K. Robbins,
of Moorestown, who managed the case
with great ability and has received many
congratulations on his success.
