SHALL THE WATER-SNAKE PREVAIL?

6Ta HE Legislature has now had presented the pro and con of the
question of the diversion of subsurface water as embodied in
the McCran bill, which was under discussion before an AS
semby committee yesterday. What does the Legislature propose
TO do with the bill? That measure involves the future policy of
the State and affects the welfare of generations yet unborn. The
State has been criminaly derelict in the past. 1t permitted great
watersheds to be seized by private monopoly and the creation of
vested" rights that have attained a power strong enough to battle
with the State itself in its own courts. 1t gave opportunity for
water companies to form a powerful combination, known as a
securities company, the chief representative of which is the East
Jersey Water Company, which, under the various corporate dis
guises it wears, has been making constant encroachments upon
public rights for years. The first effective bar to the power of this
dangerous enemy of the people of the State was the Bachelor bill
forbidding the diversion of water out of the State. An apparent
defect In that law was instantly taken advantage of by the water
company to secure a legal status that would remove the question
of diversion out of the jurisdiction of the State courts. The at
tempt nearly succeeded, and was frustrated only by a public out
cry. The enactment of the McCran bill, unamended, will settle
for good the question of diversion and scotch the watersnake. The
enactment of the amendment in favor of the water company would
be an open and fragrant betrayal of the State. A failure to pass
the bill as introduced, leaving the State exposed to the danger that
has existed, will bring down upon the Legislature a storm of public
Indignation. 1t will stamp the Legislature as one lost to any sense
OF patriotism or any regard for public duty.
