MUNICIPAL POWER PLANT VERSUS C. W. ADMINISTRATION
Does Nazareth Lose $54,000
By Negligence In Action
On Proposed Project?
For the past few months the city of Philadelphia has been negotiating matters concerning a new water sup¬ ply for that city. The plan was pre¬ sented by former Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, who proposed that a Pederal loan of $155,000,000 be negotiated to provide   Phlladel-
In a position to take over the entire capital stock after the Lehigh Wat¬ er Company had bdllt the new water distributing system.
Here is plenty of contrast and an example of what may or may not be done by a municipality. Had the water supply of Philadelphia been owned and operated by the city It-
phia with an Inexhaustible supply of ,"*'~"   - ,„ , ^„,„,„„ „.„u. i,,„„ water from the  Pocono Mountains. I «theP^ W|* However, the Pederal Public Works.-ounded a dlfferen   cord
Administration expressed a marked coolness towards plans for a new Philadelphia water supply system to the eflect that Philadelphia would not be entitled to an outright grant of 124.000,000 of the 1155.000,000 which Palmer hoped to borrow from the Government.
This only brings to mind our local proposed power and light plant, which Is of the opposite nature.
The local proposition specified "Owned and operated by the Boro Ugh of Nazareth." It would not bs a prtvate concern and the proceeds would not be for private gain All would derive the same benefit.   The
