Pond Water is Bfing Run Into the
Filter.
The exposures made by Mr. L. T.
Mill# in The Chronicle last week
regarding the city water ncd fitter,
caiyred an investigation which Tre
suited in the starring revelation
that pond water Is being allowed to
run in the filter of tho water plant
And is being used by consumers.
Of course it was thought that noth
ing but spring water was being used.
The spring wator is conveyed to the
filter by four inch pipes. These
, rpipes go below the surface of the
pond water. We understand that
in one of the pipes on the West side
of the pond three openings had been
made which allowed a considerable
amount of pood water to flow into
the filter. How long this has been
going on is not known.

Camden Water, Light & Ice Cj's
Plant Uoupjlit By Mr. T.
J Kirkland
Mr. T. J. Kirkland has purchas
ed Uie -plant of the Camden Water,
Light device Company. Iu an in
terview with Mr. Kirkland yester
day nflernoon ho stated to The
Chronicle that on Tuesday last,
the 18ih inst., the stock of the
Water, Light A Ico Company, was
sold absolutely to him, whereby he
becomes for the time being the own
er and holder of the property of the
Company and its franchisee. Me
further states that he took this step
as much for the public benefit as
for personal reasons, and mainly to
terminate instantly a very painful
anrij urgent situation. It seemed
necessary to do this to assure the
community that the property was
in hands entirely friendly to its in
terests, and anxious for its preser
vationi" and for a thorough investi
gation of its condition by all those
interested in having good and effi
cient service. Immediate steps are
being token for the organisation of
a Company, which will put the plant
in the very best of condition, and
give to Camden and vicinity an en
tirely satisfactory, supply of water,
light and len, at the very earl ft st
moment. The truth in regard to
everything connected with the plant
and the servloe will be laid hare to
those who are entitled to know.
It will,how'eVar,req?ire a little while
for an expert examination Into every
feature of the plant*, and to ralae
additional capital nefceesary to make
it serve in nvcry respeot the pur
pose for which it was established.
Mr. D. J. Carrison has been made
Superintendent of the property ?
the potlttos formerly filled by Mr.
Boynton.
