REAL ESTATE NEWS.

Mayor Wanser is hopeful thai the now
water main, which is to extend from High
Service to Bidwell avenue, viii furnish a
sufficient quantity OF water to supply the
hill portion of the city. The Mayor has re-
eeived many complaints of the scarcity of
water and owners Of property attribute
empty houses to this fact. and incidentally
to the filthy stuff dished up to them and their
tenants from the Passaic. Another thing
that appears to be worrying the Mayor is
that Hoboken is striving to cut away from
the Hackensack water company and secure a
supply of its own. 1t is said Hoboken is
anxious to gobble up a portion Of the Rock
away watershed for its own use. Bayonne
has begun O similar crusade. Bayonne is
now receiving about a million and a half
gallons of water daily. Mayor FAIR, 1t is
understood, will communicate with Mayor
Wanser and ask that steps be taken to secure
for Bayonne a supply Of at least three million
gallons a day. Mayor Farr Is so anxious to
get more water ana better water that the
city has made a proposition to pay $3.50 per
million gallons. The reason for this generous
offer is that Mayor Farr says Bayonne fac
tories frequently have to shut down because
of a scarcity of water. Bayonne officials
have been talking water contract to John
Keanes company of Elizabeth.
