To the Honorable Board of Street and
Water Commissioners Of Jersey City.
Sirs[Thi ompan has, at large expense,
prepared plans for a new water supply
for Jersey City, under our specifications
A and B, whereon they expected. in an
swer to your advertisement, to present
proposals on this date. Our engineers
n counsel, however. have recently in
formed us that, in view of the time re-
qnired for the condemnation Of water
rights and privileges, we might not be
able to complete the works and begin the
delivery of water Hereunder within the
term of two years from the date of sign
ing contract as required by your speci-
fications, and that for the completion of
our plans, safely and comfortably, the
term of two years and six months would
be required.
This company is, therefore, unwilling
to undertake the completion Of the works
within the time limited. Should the city
see fit to again advertise for proposals
and allow he extension asked for in the
specifications, we will present an attrac-
tive bid and plan for pure and whole
some water from the upper Rockaway
River at a point beyond the reach of
contamination.

in ii as q paying concern has been re-
gained.
Mr.. Murray is a thoroughly practical
man. and has adopted an entirely new
method IN working up the business OF
the road. The last several weeks ne
has spent in travelling over the various
lines of the company and calling in per-
son on agents at a number OF stations.
The object of this has been to let them
understand that their offices make up
a very important part OF the company
business and to encourage them to
greater activity in the interests OF the
company. To have an official or Mr..
Murray's sta~ding drop in, inquire
about the nature OF business ana assure
them Shat the comp2ny's interests are
their interests and that the more they
DO for the company the more the COM
pany will do for them is very pleasing
to the agents, and it effect is sure 10
be beneficial Mr.. Murray made up his
mind some time ago that this would be
good thing to do, and during the past
half month or more. while the therm0m-
e5er has been registering temperature

been out over the country making him.

pany. taking peep into the Offices and
