THE WATER-RATE PUZZLE.
1t Is Discussed by the Super
visors at a Long Night
Session.
TO RAISE HYDRANT CHARGES.
MIR. Taylor Thinks the Consumer
Gets the Worst of It.
Favors Meters.

A meeting of the Water Committee was
held last evening, which began its session
by deciding to postpone action es to pre-
pairing rates until another time, as one of
the members-Mr. Hobbs-was absent.
NJ NJ Kellogg, attorney, and George
f. Booker, bookkeeper for the Spring
Valley Water Company, were present,
and took a prominent part in the de-
sultory discussion, not so much OF rates as
of method, that took place.
Supervisor Taylor said that the business
that the committee had to do was to bring
the water rates into conformity with law
that is, make them uniform. He held that
the sliding scale now in force was contrary
to law and If it was taken to the Supreme
Court would not be sustained.
1t was clearly class legislation and the
Door ratepayer got the worst of 1t. He was
strongly in favor of uniform rate, and
also OF the meter system under which peo-
pie paid for what they got and no more.
Supervisor Dimond also favored the uni
form rate Messrs. Kellogg and Booker
thought uniform rate that would not be
unjust to the water company would be
prohibitory to the manufacturers who must
use such large quantities.
Then Mr.. Taylor explained what he has
evidently been studying out and holding
in reserve for some time. He thought
the city at large should be made to pay at
least half of the water bill, and then the
uniform rate could be fixed so low that the
poor man could afford to use all the water
he wanted at much lower cost than is
charged now.
As preliminary to this plan, which could
not be established now, he favored raising
the city hydrant rate to SIS, instead of
50 80, as now.
To do this, a tax levy of 20 cents would
have to be made, which would create a
fund of $4,000.
The objection offered by the representa-
tiyes of the water company to the plan OF
the city assuming the burden was that it
now owes the water company sums which
the latter cannot collect, and they did not
want to increase the risk. With a special
fund raised in this way, however, they adj
mitted that the objection would be over
come.

The School Indebtedness.

The vote upon the question of increas
ing the school debt was much lighter
than the regular vote cast, but the mum.
Der refusing or neglecting to give then
opinions was about evenly divided, and
the Democrats carried their side of the
question through with the rest of the
ticket. This contest was considered
more as matter of approving or disap-
proving the methods of the school board
than of erecting a new school building,
and the vote plainly shows that the peo-
pie are tired of the manner in which
their school affairs have been conducted
during recent years. The vote upon
this and the school dictatorship is re-
buke to the majority of the present
board, and one which they have well
earned.

to pass by without doing full justice to

ing down Centre street from all parts of
the borough. At the third district poll
the line of parade was formed, headed
by drum corps, and the victors march

meeting was called at Centre and South
streets, with Hugh Malloy as chairman.
He introduced d. j. Mccarthy. against
whom the most desperate fight had been
waged, and he responded with an ap-
propriate address, in which he thanked
the voters, and especially the liboral-
minded citizens, for the noble stand they
had made against those who opposed
himself and his colleagues. He also re-
ferred to the despicable methods used
by some Republicans to defeat the tick
ct. Peter Timony, DR.. e. W. Rutter
and II. NJ. Brisiin also made brief re-
marks. The Democrats continued their
jubilation until late in the night.

End Of IA Hot Battle.

When The polls closed at 2 o'clock on
Tuesday evening the majority of the
voters of town were thankful that the
end OF the most bitter contest ever
waged in Eroeland was almost over.
The citlzenS gathered in various parts of
the borough and many were the predic-
tions Of what the result would be- The
Democrats generally were confident,
Notwithstanding the boasts and taunts
of their opponents for II week previous,
but the Republicans also wore conf
dent smile and their calculations were of
the kind that usually appear correct.
The fourth district was the first to be
heard from, and the partial returns
from the Hill indicated u Republican
majority of about 40. This was a
decided gain over the majority given
Hastings last fall and in the eyes of the
Republicans victory was sure. The
Democrats, however, had been estimat-
ing that the vote would be As to so
against thcm at thatpoll, consequently
thoy wore not disturbed at the an
nouncement.
The first district was the next to re-
port, and gave maiorities ranging from
go to 20 votes in favor of the Republi-
cans. In that district greater falling
off in the Democratic vote was expected,
and the result was viewed with salts
faction.
The two Republican polls, the first
], ha.l
and yet none of the Republican candi-
didates reached Main street. the politi-
cal dividing line of the town, with any
thing near 1875 majority. Democratic
hopes frightened, for they knew the
second would pull down these figures
considerably,
The second soon responded with Demo-
cratic majoritlos averaging about 80,
and cheers then began to be heard for
the candidates, although the Democrats
were still many behind
All interest was now conferred upon
the third, the banner district of the re-
gion. The vote was 141, and the Demo
Gratis were claiming over 100 as their
own. Finally the vote appeared, and
Democratic majority of 100 or more
for the ticket was shown.
triumphant Democracy then gave full
> vent to its feelings, and the town re-
sounded with cheors for the candi-
dates and the party simultaneously
with the arrival of the news from the
third the Republican prophets fed, the
literary lights disappeared and the S92, :

TIE better condition in which the

on the part of the worlcingmen also,
