A COMMUNICATIONS.
March q. 1906.
Editor Star-I want 20 congratulate the
citizens OF Wrghtsville on their escape
from the clutches Of the defunot company
that formerly controlled the water sup
ply Of our town, furnishing their patrons
water that was unfit for use except for
closet ana pave wash purposes, and IN
fact not nt for such use at times. Since
change Of ownership OF the plant a new
reservoir has been built, springs have
been walled and clear pure water Is con-
veyed from springs TO the reservoir by
pipes and all surface drainage has been
eliminated. Throughout the recent heavy
rains and melting OF snow the water has
been clear and in condition for use for all
purposes, for which we are profoundly
grateful. Patron
THE WATER COMPANY.
The communication signed Patron in
relation TO the water company is timely
and 10 the point. The men who now are
IN control of the company are treating
the people as human beings and not like
boasts. as the Scranton gang did. 1t was
God send TO the people of Wrightsville
TO get rid of these ingrates and the COM
sumors of water are certainly TO be con-
graduated upon their being delivered from
an attack of typhoid. If the former own
ers ever have the nerve TO come TO this
place the people should drive them TO the
mud pond which they called reservoir
and give them mud bath They deserve
1t and we owe It to them.

pany remains silent as to what steps Il
