J-J12L< -Ui-'a k'WJiut Will Be Done Now/" Kdltor Otundeu Chronicle;? Uudor the aboye caption the Ncwb of fchi? nook makes editorial com ment op the rouoh discussed water nnd light question. Tho article evinnos a fair spirit but ends with this inquiry .*? ''Who in looking after the matter on behalf of the public?" Ttys Bontenoe moves roe to suggest that Camden In all of Jt? pnbllo Interests, in represented by a newly oleotod City Council ad ylsed by a competent Attorney, and tho health of the city in under bu pervision of the Board of Health. I am not the choBon nor the vol unteer champion of thete Rentlcmen but happen to know that they hav. been fully informed of all the prob lems as to wator and light which have recently confronted us, that they have given these subjects earn est consideration and that they, along with a group of loading citi zens, have constantly consulted.to. gether with ti vlow of obtaining tho very bett results from the most ob. otinato and difficult conditions. I also know that theBO officials and citizens, having an intimate ac quaintance with tho complex legnl, financial and mechanical questions Involved, huvo boon, and arc work, ing together to present to the pub lie gt tho earliest practical moment, proposals Which will be the result of a patriotic.purpono to injure for Camden tho bost attainable water and light nervico. Delay is hard to boar, but I venturo to assert that those who havo otrugg!od with the broken down wreck of?the Camden Water, Light & Ice plant during the paat live ruontha ?nd wrung from it Buch norvice an it could ron dGF'to-fctru citizens, huve not b*on find wJUjldl be^retiponsiblo for tmir* rwj^prif'Oiiy^of hopoT!eT?rrp^ T Know that zealous efforts were made to or ganizo ft Company in Camden to take over tl.e plant and avoid a sale But it gradually toeoairiff Evident TlinC ~ local capital could not be induced -a to invest in tlio ownership of this plant until it bad been cleared by sale from the numerous claims by Which it won embarrassed. A sale became absolutely inevi table and oortainly it was to tho in terest of the pnblio for tho property to pass as soon as possible into tlio bauda of permanent owners so that it might be fully ret?t<frod and ope rated under settled contracts. AI though the property has been bid off at public sale, it is not possible to turn it over immediately. This can only bo done after the court has con firmed the salo and orderod delivery of tho property to tho purchasers. Owiug to ccrtain oonatroversies petal ing in the court, the Receivers may ? havo to keep the control for some weeka to coine, but I am certainly most, anxious to be shortly relieved of this burdensome duty. I will take this occasion to say that I havo often boon on tho point of at _. tempting to set forth to tlie public, through the newspapers, a statement of tho problems that havo beset me in my efforts to operate this plant, " but each time I have desisted in do apair of being able to explain the in Btricnte, mochanical and legal teclini oalitios aud numerous other obstacles that stood like a stone w&ll in the way. It seemed pcasiblo only to oxpluin these matters to reprosonsativc citi rsns in conversation and let tho in r formation flow out through them to the community. 'It is a enbject for rejoicing that the Receivers will prob r; abfy be authorised in a few weeks to turn over tho plant to its new own , era, the purchasers at tho recent sale. ? I have every reason to believe that these purchasers will merit and ao ?juife the cooudeuoe and good will of our citizens, and with local oooper attoo wflJ-gire ns a model service. Their Retire, as I am informed, is to have the plant under tko mansge. tnent and practical ownorship -of a JF6 organized local company. I can* not believe that dleeord, division said distrust will be allowed to de Obese lair prospects. t.. ^y... , - 1?-? w \ Announcements. MOVEUNOK.
