CONGRESSMAN David J. Lewis of the
Sixth Maryland district, may think he
is immune from the visit of suffragists
in the mountain fastness of his Ale
gany county home. But if he nurses
such hope, the Honorable Mr.. Lewis
will live to see that it is terrible mis-
take. At this moment the suffrage
hosts are getting ready to swoop down
upon him and learn from his own lips
whether the gentleman from Maryland
is in favor of national suffrage amend
ment or against it. Mr.. Lewis voted
no. The ladies will visit him June 10Th.

The PEOPLES FORUM.
nr. william E. Walsh, One Of The
Receivers of The Mountain Lake
Water and Light Company,
Makes A Formal Statement.

To the Editor of The Republican,
Oakland, Nd.
Ny DEAR Mr.. SINCELL:-Thep ublica-
ton by the Receivers of the Mt. Lake
Water & Light Co, of a new scale OF
water rates has quite naturally stirred
up a good deal of comment and not a
little opposition, and the situation Great
ed is somewhat delicate one, it must
be confessed.
An adequate and constant supply OF
water, or rather the want of it, has
long been a serious matter at Mountain
Lake Park and Loeb Lynn "a draw
back to those places, an annoyance to
their. people, menace to the safety Of
property in case of fire. Complaints
were many and incessant during the
season" and at last formal complaint
was made to the Public Service Com
mission. The Commission investigat-
ed, and then ordered certain Preparations
of the plant in order to effect good ser
vice. There was no money with which
to defray the cost of making them.
Receivers were appointed, made enough
improvements to give fairly satisfactory
service through the winter, planned
making permanent betterments this
spring, and then found out they could
not borrow money to pay for what had
been done, much less for what had
been planned. At last the court order
ed sale of the Company's property,
which could not be made for want of
bidders. The summer is at hand. the
water supply inadequate for the needs
and comfort of the people vino other
wise would flock to the Park and Loeb
Lynn.
The Receivers ascertained that the
Company was running behind at the
old water rates, so they proposed an in
crease calculated to put the Company's
property in the best of shape for all
time and assure the people constant
and copious supply of water under all
circumstances. The comfort and con-
yenience of the people depends IN a
large measure upon dependable supply
of water, whilst the life of the Water
Company depends upon enough being
paid for that supply to enable the
Company to keep up its property and
meet all its obligations promptly. The
interest of the people and of the COM
pany is reciprocal and interdependent,
not antagonistic, and upon both depends
the welfare and progress of the Park
and Loeb Lynn.
This is apparent to those who have
acquaintance with the intimate facts of
the situation and have given them due
consideration. In order that all may
be fully informed in the premises
and frank discussion had of whatever
bears on the matter, so that the in
terests of all may be safeguarded and
furthered, a meeting will be held in the
Park Auditorium at 10 a, m. on Satur-
day, 10Th instant This meeting is the
outgrowth of conferences with the
President of the Association, of the
Community. and of others vitality in
terested. shall be much obliged if
you will kindly call attention to it in
your paper.
Very truly yours,
W. E. WALSH.
