MORE WATER LOANS.
Can the Borough Council Pay Out This
Money.


Money.
The granting Of 81 600 additional to the
water committee has OccasiOned consider
able talk in town. The money previously
secured by this committee was given with
an understanding that it was simply loan
conditional upon repayment from the
funds the committee expected to realize
from the sale of bonds, under the special
election held eleven years ago. The court
decided recently that nothing can be done
under that special election and, of course,
the securely depended by the borough for
the returns of these loans fell through. But
in face of this, certain members of Council
pay out 81 900 more. In the first place the
Borough Council had no right to loan q
cent to the joint committee, upon security
or otherwise. In the second place the Bor-
ough Council had no right to give that
committee a cent after the decision of the
court and when people say that the Coun-
cilmen have put themselves in q box by
their use of the public money on the water
peoject they should not be laughed at, lest
the laugh be on the other side. If this
borough wants public water works
the people of town must say so
by means of special election
and if that election is carried in favor of
the project then the Council can authorize
the issuance Of bonds, from the sale of
which the money for the works must be
taken, and not from the borough funds,
The grant of thai additional $1,000 looks
like steal.

four men and two little girls were sitting
there, but the bartender was absent.

AN AMERICAN slLLioMAIRE.
Growth Of the Mammoth Vanderbilt Cash
Bali as II Rolls Along.


Ball as It Rolls Along.
Ten years ago John Swinton made
the somewhat notable prophecy:
The nineteenth century will witness
an American Millionaire"
At that time the richest man in the
nation was worth $50, coo. 600 in hard
cash. To-day wo are told that young
William II. Vanderbilt who has late
~ died was the prospective heir to
$40, coo, coo.
In connection with the demise OF
Young Vanderbilt the New York
World enters into some very interest
ing computations OF the prospective
wealth. allowing its investments To
continue as substantial as they now
are, and substituting for the enormous
profits now returned from its great
railway properties the modest rate OF

Vanderbilt family was thus SUMMARY
