Editor Jones Writes
Scathingly of "Water
Snakes" Nctory(?)

Through the well-directed efforts
of Councilman Wagner, the Bergen
field Borough Council is the first
body, so far as is known, to have Sc
cured authentic information shedding
light on the question of whether the
water rate decision of the State
Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners will be productive of a, saving
in the final analysis to the inhabitants
of Bergen county, and what the prob
able. extent of the saving will be.
The answer to this extremely i'm
portant question is contained in next
the last paragraph of letter writ
ten to Councilman Wagner by the
Hackensaek Water Co. over the sig
nature of Earle Talbot, secretary,
published in full on our first page
this week. Certainly, no one can
hope to secure more authoritative
data. e.
According to this statement, if
Bergenfield's case is any criterion by
which to forecast the general affect
of the water rate mandate upon Ber-
gen county, the answer is THAT
THE MUCH-HERALDED, VICTORY
OVER THE WATER COMPANY is
NO VICTORY AT ALL!
On the contrary, considering the
expense of the litigation, 1T is AN
ABSOLUTE ROUT OF THE PEG
PLIES INTERESTS!
According to the statement of the
Water Company itself, Bergenfieid
will save the altogether munificent
sum of $10.81 through the water rate
reduction that reduces the charge to
the individual consumer and makes
up the difference in the municipal
tax bill! This statement is based on
conditions obtaining in 1916, the
last year for which complete records
are available, and is manifestly fair
to both sides Of the case.
81 will leave you to draw what
ever conclusions you desire from
these figures" says the Water Com
pany, and it can we'll afford to be
complacent. whatever the conclusions
may be, for the Water Company's
interests appear to have been ex-
ceedingly well taken care of:
Recalling Judge Seufert's claim
that the Board of Freeholders had
agreed to compensate him for his
legal services to the people in the
water fight dependent upon results
obtained" the people of Bergenfield
respectfully refer their findings to
the Board of Freeholders as evidence
which may be of some use in apprais-
ing the value of these services.
There would appear to be minus
quantity left for Judge Eeufert after
deducting the $13,322.77 paid to
water experts from the very miscro-
scopici and very doubtful Saving" OF
$1O.81 per year for each 5000 in
habitants in the county.

HIS TAIL AROUND THE PUBLIC

WISDOM IN FEW WORDS

Benjamin Franklin was great and
wise man. Among other quaint things
he said was this:
"A little house well filled,
A little field el tiled,
A little wife well willed,
Are great riches"

WOULDN'T PROCEED IN RAIN


1t happened during the strike.
The motorman was a "scab," so was
the conductor. The car they we're
running was one of the few that re-
warded the patience of those indi-
viduals who could afford to spend
an hour of patient waiting. There
were about a dozen of these. Their
faces all showed varying degrees of
interest in the progress of the car,
and the pilfering' of fares by the
chinless youth who fumblingly gave
the signals to stop and start. Out
side of a peculiar swaying motion,
accentuated by spasinodic halts and
starts, all was apparently well.
Suddenly it began to rain. The
conductor looked annoyed, so did the
motorman. They had not bargained
for this. Besides, the car was an
open one. In the course of its run
it had to pass a tunnel. Only on
this trip it didn't pass. 1t rested.
After a brief conference the masters
of ceremony decided that, under the
existing order or lack of order OF
things, it did not behoove them to
make any efforts to bring the jour-
ney to an end. And they didn't.
They stayed under shelter for exact
ly % minutes, after which time they
calmly informed the sadly depleted
remnant of the original twelve that
it was too late to finish the run, and
that the car was returning to TIE
barn. That was all. Some
body once said something about the
value Of a bird in the hand.-New
York Evening Post.
