MORE WATER PLANS
Mayor Wanser Has a Scheme
Whereby the City Can
Acquire the New
Works.

He Thinks the Municipality Can
Own It's Own Plant in
Twenty Years.
vERMEULE'S LATEST PROPOSITION
Board of Finance Waiting for the
Street and Water Commits
sioners to Move.

To a reporter for 1.-THE Jersey City
News'' this morning, Mayor Wanser
said that in addition to the examination
Of the plans of the formal bids before
the board, the Joint Boards of Street
and Water Commissioners and Board OF
Finance had listened to propositions out
side of the specifications presented by
Woltman, Keith & Co.. and Hugh Reilly,
offering a gravity supply from the Rock
away Shed. which is the source of the
Jersey City Company's bid. and that to-
day the boards would hear Mr. Inman on
his proposition relating to the Sussex
Lakes. and Bonzano & Clark on the
Ram&po Shed, and on Saturday would
re-hear Mr. Herschel in the interest of
the East Jersey Company's formal bid
Growing out of these hearings much
information has been gathered. and while
considering the formal bids, the Mayor
has suggested that the city might be able
. to build the works practically itself on
g plan which he outlined as follows
The city to receive proposition from
each contractor as to what he will fur
nish pipe, dam and reservoir construction
for. and legal expenses, including con-
tractors profits. The contractor in the
name of the city to condemn land and
water rights, and by ratification with
the city as to price; pay for the land
and water rights by private purchase,
the same to be held by the contractor in
trust for the city. The contractor to
= agree under penalty of heavy bonds. that
iasthe whole works shall not exceed a figure
IVA be agreed upon
s5tiChe city to certify as it now does on
er fty contracts as to amount expended
seon the works from time to time, and
4 inspect it. When water is turned on and
pipes tested to an extent of 50,000,0oo gal
flons per day, the city to pay interest
n on the amount of debt created by the
Sfcontractor and an additional amount
ues,r sinking fund with the right to pay
II all the debt created by the contractor,
: ~ bonds of the city at any time
Such contract and details as to debts
and credits tc be supervised by some
trust company to be agreed upon.
The Mayor said that he did not know
whether any bidder or party sending
proposition would favor such plan but
it was worth considering. By it the city
buys no water by the gallon; the money
for the sinking fund goes to credit OF
city's right to purchase and not to the
contractor, and the contractors profits
are reduced to profits on the construc-
ton. This plan had suggested itself to
him, the Mayor said, as it would enable
the city to select out of all the plans,
notifications which might be of advan-
tage.

was of a fine character

public function before his elevation to the
cardnalate. During the service he was
seated at the side of the altar between
Mgr Sbaretti and Father Gillespie, dea-
cons of honor to the archbishop.

by the presence of the Gonzaga College

Rev. Mr.. Anderson preached from the
text, First Thessalonians, 5-1S: I'm every
thing give thanks. for this is the will of
God concerning you"
1T is Gods will the speaker said, that
we shall give thanks under all circum-
stances. and if we can bring ourselves to do
this we will become the better prepared
to go out ana contend with the world. SO
complete and persistent ought the spirit of
thankfulness to be that it should be carried
into everything.
I'VE are living he said, sin peculiar
times. Hard times the world calls them
The worlds social fabric seems to be torn
to pieces. We are surrounded by vaga-
bondage and starvation. In view of these
things has our devotional thanksgiving any
rational basis?
Let IT,; thank God that it is not any
worse with us than it is. This is no time
for despair. Happy is the man and he
alone worthly thankful who can see
"Trouth on the scaffold, wrong on the
throne, and yet calmly feel that behind
the dim unknown stanGeth God within
the shadows, keeping watch above His
own.
I'VE are apt to fall back into the anti
quated doctrine that the whole mission of
suffering is to indicate Gods displeasure
and forget that there are blindness and
misery born into the world"
What means the great victory of Japan
over China" he asked, but the victory
of Christian civilization over heathendom, or
the conflict between Spain and Cuba but the
self-protecting blow of that. liberty which
comes from God, or the strife Between Tur-
key and Armenia but the promotion of uni
versal sympathy between brother and broth
er? The thought of nationality must today
be swallowed up into that of uniyersality, as
one touch of nature makes the whole world
