tiers to a modification Of the water con-
tract between Newark and the East Jersey Wa

of pure PequannOck water. Four years hence,
on payment Of the final lnstament of S2,0O0,O00
the total purchase price is $4,000 OO0-the
company shall turn over TO the city a plant
capable Of supplying 30 900 gallons daily.
But it is estimated that the reservoirs and pipe
lines constructed designed to fulfil Newarks
contract can supply 72.00O00O gallons daily.

right will cease when the works are formally
transferred. Meantime. however Newark may
need more than 27.000000 gallons but the com
pany is not disposed to let it have quart
ira without getting in return the privilege Of
selling what water Newark does not need after
