animal was killed. DR.. Hewitt has
written DR.. Gibson that incubation
would take place in day or two and
the result would be Immediately
made known. DR.. Hewitt writes that
the dog should not have been killed,
but tied up and kept until after the
actual period of madness came over
him.
DR.. G. P. Gibson sent half gallon
of water from the we'll of w. J. John

of Health for analysis some time ago.
The we'll is the one from which water
was drank by Mr.. Johnson's family, re-
sulting in two deaths from typhoid
fever and several cases of illness from
that disease. DR.. Gibson yesterday re-
ceived DR.. Hewitt's report of the
analysis and from it is gained the as
tonishing fact that the water contained
$4,000 colonies of bacteria per cubic
centimetre. Minneapolis was shocked
some time ago when Secretary Hewitt
reported that water there contained
1000 colonies of bacteria per cubic
centimetre. The result of the investi-
cation into the water of the johnson
we'll should condemn that we'll inn
mediately and should also be pointer
to the people residing around there to
investigate the water of other wells.

The statement furnished by City Comp
trolier Hough to "The News'' on satur-
day SO completely replies to Mr.. Allan
L. McDerrnotts Board of Trade dinner
comments Upon our city sinking funds
that it is almost unnecessary fer US to
make any further mention of the sub
ject, save to direct attention to Mr..
Hough's interesting explanations.
One of Mr.. McDermotts most emphatic
points was that money as collected upon
account Of any particular debt should
only be applied in payment upon that
same. Another appeared to be that the
debt should be cancelled as soon as the
money was received in the fund. Both
Of these are enectualiy disposed of by
Mr.. Hough.
Justice to the creditors would seem to
demand hat money collected on account
of one fund should be invested In securi-
ties of another. perhaps rather in other
than city securities. For, in that case.
IT a nancia collapse came, the sinking
fund would really afford some aid to-
wards settling with the creditors.
The destruction of bonds, bought in.
would be unjust for two reasons: First
It would stop the accumulation of the
sinking fund by means of interest re-
ceipts: secondly, IT would impair the pro-
lection Of the creditors in the manner
that Mr.. Hough indicates.

It how looks as if East Jersey did not
held all the cards in the water game.
According to the latest reports, the Jer-
sey City Company has one notable trump
card In its right to appeal. This will, at
least, serve to check any effert by the
East Jersey Company to snbmerge the
city before the people can get a chance
10 change the complexion of the Senate
n Assembly.
The puzzle now is as to just what the
Court means in its ruling on the sub
ject of specifications. 1t says
Bidders must have an opportunity to
compete. and that can be afforded only
by. definite specifications, to which all
bidders can conform.
What are definite speci1cationse In
what respect do the specifications adj
verstfsd last summer fan to be definite?
If they were made any more definite,
would it be possible for all bidders to
conform to thema
When you specify the quality and
quantity. when you limit the source to
h State. when you set a minimum Of
storage capacity, when you determine
the method of delivery. why are you not
definite enough2 Must you also set a
maximum of supply and storage? Must
you specify what river and what part
OF the river the water snail be taken
frcmg Must you specify the location of
the reservoirs and their size and style
of construction? Must you specify the
material of the pipe line. the method of
construction and the exact route along
which Il shall be laide
If you do this, where does the conn
petition come ins Must the competition
be limited strictly to price? Can no ele-
ment of superiority in quantity, quality
or method gain considerations If this
Is the case, that does the Court mean
by this?
A contract for water supply must be
awarded to the responsible bidder, who
offers the most advantageous terms, and
proposals must be advertised for.
Are advantageous terms exclusively
a matter of price?
