CAMDEN'S WAR.
The Camden water war goes on apaoe
Last week Captain Bean, the builder of
big schooners, in an interview strongly
supported municipal ownership. Today
Judge Reuel Robinson of Camden had
something to say on the other side of the
question. In an interview he spoke as
follows:
~ represent the remonstrants againss
any opponents OF the proposed Camden
municipal water charter, who compose a
very large majority indssd of the leading
business men and large taxpayers of the
town. These men have no desire to
flourish their trumpsts, and are not go

wrote last week, the debt that must be
contracted to build such water plant,

a summer hcme.' That practically ex-
presses the sentiments of all our sumner
residents, as they are almost unanimous
in their denunciation OF the scheme.
when the matter comes to hearing
before the legislative committee, we ex.

have but one course open to it, viz, to
report the bill adversely.
"You ask how the town happened to
vote to ask for charter. That is more
or less of long story. Suffice 1t TO say
that it was one OF the peculiar things
that towns viii sometimes do and after
wards repent OF at their leisure. Since
the people OF Camden have had an oppor.
