This is proposition that should be considered
by the commissioners Of Snyder County If the
citizens Of Middleburg should decide to put in
water works, it is extremely doubtful if they
could do it under municipal ownership, because
the total Indebtedness of the borough for the new
school house and water works would probably
make the debt higher than the law would permit
under the present assessment valuation.
If the borough of Middleburg should desire to
install water works row, it would have no alter
native but to give the contract to a corporation.
1t is probable that the citizens generally would
oppose water works ifit were to be given to
corporation, while they would favor the improve
ment if it could be put in and controlled by the
municipality. lfa corporation puts the plant in,
it would certainly expect to charge profit for
the use Of the water and for that reason it is fair
topresume that the municipality could furnish
water at a lower cost than corporation.
The same is true in theborough of Selinsgrove,
should they desire to bond their town for any i'm
provements in addition to the electric light plant.
The idea Of giving false valuation of property
is wrong to begin with and when 1t works njus-
tice in addition, the matter should be speedily
rectifed.

THE Deccmberi rissueof the UnirersI Brother
hood Poth,( The Thecsophical Pub. Co., Point
Iona, San Diego. Calif) the monthly publication
of the Universal brotherhood Organization, and
the Theosophical Society, opens with very
strong and wel-wrttcn article on "The Hygi-
enic Aspect of Brotherhood Work." by II. r.
Edge. The article is healthy and vigorous and
contains strong plea for an al.-around develop
ment, for the writer says "Mental culture of
every kind has become so prevnlent-so ram
pant-that it has itself become sensual indul-
gence; while on the other hand, physical vigor
has so degenerated that mems bodies need reform
as well as their minds. The world does not now
need any more idealism and philosophical specu-
Iation, but it needs to be taught how to live
healthily and ceanly."
