 That President John E. Moore or the board of public works will be the next local manager for the .Snited Electric Light and Water company seems to be the impression of a great many citizens.
 General Manager Campbell of the U E. l.. and w. company was asked over the telephone this morning at his office in Waterbury if the com pany was considering President Moore for the position.
