is hereby referred to the Committee on
Excise for investigation.
The following resolution was presented
by Alderman Calnon and adopted
"Whereas, The Board of Street and
Water Commissioners. by a vote of three
TO two, has awarded a contract to supply
Jersey City with water, accepting a bid
which must necessarily enormously in
crease the city's debt, imposing a most
gr.evous burden upon our property own
erss who must in turn shift the burden
upon those who are rent payers; and
Whereas, 1t is expected that remedial
steps will be proposed at the approaching
session Of the Legislature prohibiting the
pollution of the Passaic River.
sfQpcolr-o1 That tho hast ,faraoA- -
Jersey City demand that no contract for
a permanent supply of water should be
made until every effort has been ex-
hausted to obtain legislative relief; that
the price at which it is proposed to sell
pany to Jersey City includes a profit to
the company of upward of 81, zoo, 600,
which could be saved by the construc-
ton of the water works by the NUM-
cipality itself; and that the making of
a contract under the bid accepted by
the Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners is not called for by any present
necessity.
Resolved, That we d~enounce the ac-
ton Of the three Republicans who con-
stituted a majority of the Street and
Water Board and awarded this extraya-
mend the position taken by their two
Democratic colleagues in opposing this
fragrant scheme; and
Resolved. That the Board of Finance
be respectfully requested to withhold its
concurrence in such award. and that the
Mayor be requested to veto the said reso-
luton, If it shall be concurred in by the
Board of Finance"
On motion of Alderman . Moran the
Board then adjourned.
