| BILE pipe line. These prices are payable
in cash or bonds. but not until the works
are completed and accepted by the city.
| Under the proposition of the East Jer-
sey Company. it is argued. interest will
begin to run on about five million dol
lars OF the purchase money from a short
time after the ratification of the con-
tract and inception of the work. This.
those who have considered the subject.
say would really enhance the East Jer-
sey Company's price by about half a
million dollars.
One serious phase of the question
seems to have escaped the at
tention OF officials and contrac-
tors alike. This is that the
Boards cannot purchase a supply with
out submitting the contract to a vote of
the people. All they can do is contract
for a new supply at so much per million
gallons. with an option for the purchase
of the works which at a later day can
be submitted to vote according to the
law passed by the Legislature at this
years session.
The Jersey City Company's bid ap-
pears to meet the requirements of the
situation as moulded by this statute. 1t
gives a schedule of prices for measured
water ranging from 1888 per million GAL
Ions to s25. according to the quantity
taken. It is not. however. quite clear
that the East Jersey Company's Sup
Elemental Offer No. 5 as defined and
amended by Mr.. Corbin. has any PROPOSE
ton of this sort.
AS the matter stands before the Boards,
it would appear. besides, that the city
must purchase the works offered by the
East Jersey Company at its w risk.
There is. at least. ne apparent oppor-
their merits. On the other hand, the
Jersey City Cohpany's offer directly in
wolves thorough practical test of the
works before the city's option is exer-
cised or purchase made. In other words,
If the sort of contract now authorized
by law is made with the Jersey City
Company. we will have two or three
years in which to sample the water both
as to quantity and quality, before we
expend a single cent for the final ac-
auirement of the system.
