FREE SILVER DID IT
Why There Were SO Few Bid
ders for Jersey City's
New Water Supply.
MONEY MARKET TOO STRINGENT
Jersey City Water Company Wanted
the Proposals Advertised After
the Election.

Those who are interested in the new
water supply at Jersey City were very
much surprised at the result Of yester-
days meeting of the Street and Water
Board. That meeting was called speci-
ally to receive bids for proposals for a
new supply, and it was generally expect
ed that there would be no lack of bid
dsrs. But precisely the opposite was
the case. There were only two bidders:
the East Jersey Water Company and the
Rockaway and Hudson Company.
What is the matter with the Jersey
City Water Company? Why don't they
bid r many asked. and those who heard
the bids read expressed the greatest sur
prise that a corporation which had cap
lufed the contract before. although set
as1ae on certiorari. should give up the
light against the East Jersey Company

pany; they have sold their rights to
the East Jersey people. The latter corr
poratlon found that the only way to get

This view was accepted generally by
people in the Board room and great
number of the outside public. But it
is vide OF the truth. The real facts are

United States has been seriously threat

free silver people, capitalists are exceed

Of public Improvement until after the
election has decided the free silver non
sense one way or another. An unsettled
market was anything but tempting to
these men to go into any water projects.
Cities have now great difficulty even in
floating their bonds, because of the strin-
gency of the money market, occasioned
to put out money where there might be
little chance Of ever getting it back
again.
The Jersey City Water Company shar-
ing that feeling were not inclined to bid
at, present. They sent a request TO the
Board of Works asking them to delay
the advertisement of the proposals until
after the Presidential election, when the
business world would be in a more settled
condition. but the Board could not for
some reason, and the Jersey City Water
Company were thus reluctantly obliged
to forego bidding on the proposals.
