The Borough of Shenandoah Holds tho Key
to the Water Question and win Con-
tinue to Supply Its Residents
with Pure and Whole
some Water

The question Of the advisability Of muni-
eipalities owning water works is a pertinent
one just at this particular time, when the
question of increasing the present supply of
the town has been so thoroughly discussed
by the people of Shenandoah during the past
two or three weeks.
Whatever may come out of the present
agitation, there will be no lease or sale of the
borough water works Such proposition
would prove one of two things, either gross
incapacity upon the part of those having in
charge the administration of the plant, or
the result of well laid plans to put the
people at the mercy Of corporation The
borough holds the key to the water situation
III Shenandoah, and the people will be slow
to Ielinquish their rights in this connection
Allentown owns its own water plant, and
claims to clear $l2, 900 annually, besides af
iOrding low rates to consumers. The plant
is to be improved by purchasing a stream
with flow of l2,OOO,OO gallons daily, four
miles from the city, and which il is claimed
will cost the city $50 600 to place it in con.
tributing order.
The Manual of American Water Works
compiled by NJ. n. Baker, one of the editors
OF Engineering News, and the leading
authority of the United States on sll matters
relating to water works, contains a table
showing the difference in rates under the
two systems of ownership in all parts of the
United States and Canada This table, COM
piled from original reports received by the
editor Of The Manual, may he accepted AS
conclusive in regard to the question of com.

ELKIN ATTACKS WANAMAKER.
?ennsyIvania's Republican Chairman
and the EX-Postmaster General.

?ennsylvanIa's Republican Chairman
and the EX-Postmaster General.
Philadelphia. Sept. chairman Ell
kin, of the Republican state committee,
in a statement issued last night an
Bwers, as the head of the state organi-
cation, the attacks on the party leaders
made by ex-Postmaster General John
Wanamaker and other members Of the
Business Mems League.
Mr.. Elkin says the organization has
endeavored to settle all differences in
the party inside the party lines, and
therefore has refrained heretofore from
making public reply to the attacks
made upon it. Now however, when the
utterances Of Mr.. Wanamaker can only
be interpreted to mean that he has
placed himself outside the Republican
ranks, MIR. Elkln feels that the efforts
to distrust and6 destroy the party in
the state should be checked. He makes
a general denial of Mr. Wanamaker's s
charges of extravaganza in the admin
istration of the peoples affairs, and
fatty denies the assertion that the peo-
pie are burdened by taxation. Refer
ing to charges of corporate influence
in politics, Mr. Elkin declares that
under Republican laws the corporations
are maze 10 pear nearly all the DUR
dens of taxation the state revenue be-
ing raised mainly Ay taxation of cor
porations, collateral and direct lnheri-
tance, license fees, etc.
Real estate, says Mr.. Flltin, has not
paid state taxes since 1866. Although
Mr. Wanamaker himself transacts a
| business of from $12, 600 900 to SIS, 900. 900
a year, he pays to the state government
! only $1,000 annually. Furthermore, Mr..
| Elkln says, 66 of the 81 counties in the
state receive more for their institutions,
school purposes, etc, than Is received
! by the state from these counties.
In reference to Mr.. WanamakeT's all
! legation of favoritism in the loaning OF
! state funds to certain banks Mr. Elkin
! says that in the last quarter of CEN
