The Delaware Railroad Co. has consum-
mated arrangements with the Light and
Water Commissioners Of Middletown whereby
the town will supply the company with all
the water which the latter uses at the depot
there. For some time the railroad company
has been trying to secure supply through
its tank house, and has spent considerable
money and much time. but with unsatisfac-
tory results. The new arrangement will
doubtless prove satisfactory, not only to the
railroad company. but to the town as well,
inasmuch as the revenue derived from this
new source will place the water system upon
a self-sustainng basis. The town water sup
ply is, comparatively speaking, unlimited.
and there is no reason why the new plan
should not be thoroughly satisfactory. While
this matter was being considered a sample Of
the town water was sent to the chemist Of the
railroad company at Allentown. Pa, and the
analysis there made spoke highly for the
quality of the water furnished by the present
system.
