A CITy's WATER SUPPLY CUT ORA telegram
Of comnramisa hc,n9, efTected as Vas Eonad
last week, between the Pennington Water Com
pany and the millers along the banks of the
South Branch of the Raritan River, an injunC-
ton has been obtained and served upon the
company. This forbdS the company drawing
water from the river. and places everything in
a very unfortunate position. Unless resort can
be had to the old reservoir, and the streams
from the hills be pumped into it, the citizens of
this town will be put to great inconvenience, ii
they do not incur actual suffering. Until the
court renders decision no water can be forced
through the pipes from the South Branch.
Much Indignation is expressed by consumers
on the ground that the millers should have
taken steps against the company before the line
of pipe was completed, and before the connec-
ton with the old reservoir was broken.
