has come to me for consideration and
a%ction:
to fss0 New YORK York FAKE lkeis Erie an and ft VEST
ern Railroad Company to make a two
inch connection with the water sspipe
leading to the Snake Hill institutions
of Hudson county when the twelve-inch
watre main is laid Oh Tonnele avenue,
connection to be made at the expense of
ton of the board of freeholders, and the
connection to be removed byythe railroad
company at any time on receiving thirty
pany to put in a meter and pay. Jersey
Connection"
matters seem to require to be considered:
The present supply of water to the in
stitutions at Snake Hill is entirely made
quate. The Jersey City main supplying
the Snake Hill pipe is not large enough
to allow of the pressure necessary to com-
pletely. answer the needs of the institu-
necessary to raise the water by pumping
in order to reach the upper stories.
The New York, Lake Erie and Western
cubic feet while Hudson County pays
S1.10 per 1000 cubic feet to the city for
water. The water for the county is
county road, at the junction, of the city's
public main and the county's private
main. It would be impossible to deter
company unless a special and exclusive
water meter was used for them.
1t appears to be unwise and inexpedient

with the 12-inch main yet to be laid until

For these reasons and after regarding
the ease in its various lights feel COM

From Freebooter Kelly:
To the Honorable the Director and Mem
bers of the Board of Chosen Freehold
ers Of the County, of Hudson:
GENTLEMEN-The application of the
road Company to tap the water main
leading to Snake Hill is simply a matter
Of aocomadation The company now
main. All their water is metered and
Jersey City is paid for it. They have a
line now from the Tonnele avenue main
posed connection. This pipe requires re-
newal. 1t has been GUN that iron pipe
is eaten out when laid in ashes and lasts
but a short time.
The reason for making the application
for the proposed connection is that it
will require a less amount Of pipe and
shorter connection from the main. The
company does not desire to tap the pres
emit pipe, while there is an eight @l ZACH
permission to tap when the twelve Q2)
inch main is laid. They ask no pecuni-
airy fayors from, the county or the city.
They desire TO have the water. metered
the same as it is at present and pay for
the water used. All the work will be
done at the eompany's expense
No explanation of this request is
needed It is a mere business proposition
and if the county does not see fit to
will extend its present line to the point
