public sewer system is the result.
The cOm0n sense element of the citi-
zenShip won also in the fight for pub
llc-OWned fire fighting system, Il public
owned and managed policing system,
and even public owned burial place for
the dead; but now and then they would
through negligence of their interests,
lose to the profit seeking few who wish
ed to dominate public necessities for
their own private gain. And one of
these times was when a system for wat
CT supply became necessary.
Water is five times as necessary to
life as is food; it is several times more
necessary to life than streets, sewers,
fire fighting apparatus or police, yet the
c0-operatorS of the City of Huntington
peacefully dozed while private corpo-
ration cOrnered the available supply of
its system of distribution.
The cO-operat0rs of the City of Hunt
ington managed their publicOwned ne
ceSsitieS with but one object in view
that is, SERVICE. They paid into the
different funds just enough to keep
them efficient and this cost was equita-
bly, distributed among them. If, how
ever. some citizen found it absolutely
impossible to pay his allotment of the
total expenses, the corporation Of the
City of Huntington was iienient with
the debtor and never found it necessary
10 bar him from the use of the public
owned streets, sewers. fire and police
protection.
But the corporation which has assum-
ed ownership and control Of the public
water supply was run on altogether dlf-
ferent lines. 1t managed its privately
owned public necessities also with but
one object in view-the profit OF its
owners. Every citizen was compelled
to pay into the till of the water comp
any every penny that could be forced
from him, and he was compelled to get
along with just as poor service as the
company could possible get by with. For
The privilege of being ineificiently serv-
ed and very efficiently robbed by this
water company, the co-operat0rS oi the
City of Huntington, in addition to furn-

as water drinkers at that. After eau
cusing, the three have decided that they
can drink beer, and go 10 CatlettSburY
after it, cheaper than they can Hunt
ingtOn Water Company water, and we
have told the company to take their ser
vice, meter and all and go plum TO hell
where there is probably even great
er demand for their commodity.
These protests that have been filed
show that the members of the corpora.
ton of the City of Huntington have
awakened to the results Of their mo-
mentary weakness when the permitted
Il grating corporation to secure control
of their water supply, and other actiNi-
ties show that they are very deS'iiGuS
of wrenching this control from the pi-
rates who have robbed them these many
years.
These activities, profits and a.ita-
tiOns have borne fruit inasmuch rs the
election has been called ut which if VII!

tion Of the City Of Huntington will rec

lShinW the water company with streets
through which to run its mainS,-free
of charge-and clientele of some
10000 people. also presented it with
something like $4,000 per annum in
excess of the actual expenses of the ser
vice.
One would naturally think that in
return for these gratuitOus fayOrS the
water company would feel under obliga-
tons to treat the cO-Operat0rs with at
least common decency and courtesy. But
such was not the case. At the headQuar
ters of the corporation Of the City Of

sworn statements of individual mem
bers of the corporation, teStifying to
the fact that they we're robbed by the
water company, and when they protest

had nothing to arbitrate. never made

These statements make interesting
