Miserable Water Supply Hav-
ing a Disastrous Effect
Upon Greenville.

from the 6~reenVille SectlOn OF the CITY
that within the past month a dozen or
more families have moved away because
of the filthy water supplied by the city.
1t is also reported that numerous sales
of property down there are being ar
ranged because owners are unable to
find and keep tenants in their houses.
They are firing of paying high taxes and
water rents, and at the same time be-
ing unable to keep tenants because of
the disease breeding stuff in the form
of water furnished by the city. A
Greenville real estate dealer In speak
ing to me of the condition of affairs
down there said
1T is discouraging. | nave houses
on my rent list that have been idle
for almost a year. Many of them are
s~plendidly situated and should command
excellent rents, but, l tell you, people
will not stay in Jersey City unless we
get new water. For my part. I don't
blame them. / wouldn't use it nor
would | ask tenants to use it. Green
Vile property Is standing still, where,
booming along at a lively rate. We
are getting improvements slowly; but
what we need most, to induce people to
live and buy property here, is new and
pure water,
Similar complaint is being made by
nearly every G%reenville operator. The
city officials will probably lock the
door after the horse is stolen"
The paving of Ocean avenue is pro-
crossing merrily. Outside of a few COM
plants that Contractor Byrne is dump
ing the old cobbles on lots not owned
by him, / have heard none. Greenville-
work he is doing. They have secret
committees watching the workmen to
see that everything is done according
to the specifications. When completed it

ably encourage building, and incidentally
the location of more business houses in
the Greenville section. The work is be-
ing done at the expense of the city.
Mr.. Henry Lembeck ~contemplateS erect
ing more houses in Greenville. He has
secured permits for the erection of
three three-story bricks on Ocean ave-
nue., and I have heard that a row of
a half dozen frames will be built by
him in the spring.
