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.
