Rumor has it that the BRIDGEPORT
Hydraulic CO. has it's business eve on
the beautiful sheet of water. known as
Taunton pond. as a new field for flu
ture operations. To procure this val
liable addition to it's extensive system
of water supply, it would be necessary
to purchase the franchise Of the New
town Water Co. This end Of the local
concern does not worry some of the
STOCKHOLDERS of the latter CORPORATE
who see no immediate prospects Of
stock dividends if the company car
rles out all the requests for extension
of service now assailing the manage
ment. These stockholders believe that
the purchase of the Newtown Water
Co. by the strong city corporation
would guarantee payment of dividends
on the stock they hold. There is no
tquestion that the change would be =
good thing for hOuseho' ders who vain
~ seek for water mains on suburba n
streets in the Center, and be welcomeo
by Sandy Hook citizens, who are ready
to put in public water, but do not
want to buy the company before being
permitted to use water of which the
: company's charter gives them a mon
opoly over all streets in Newtown.
