BUT, after all, It is a question whether
the city has anything to lament In this
aasco- The expense Of any large supply
from the East Jersey company would
bring the municipality well mig face to
face with bankruptcy.
II the Company gave us u, 900. as
Mr. Hirschei vaguely said 1T might, we
would have to pay ssis a day or slss,e4o
a year, In compensation for this, it ~
estimated that we might save. at the ex-
IRENE outside. $4,000 on pumping ex-
penses, leaving us in the hole to the ex-
tent of sl3S,ooo a year. all of which
should go into the tax levy.

We Told Won So.

We speak of the water fzzle more in
sorrow Than IN anger We would have
been glad to have been wrong in this
matter. We take no joy in anything
that tends 10 injure Jersey City. We
are sorry to be SO right in all that we
have said about the East Jersey Water
Company. We are sorry to feel that we
are equally right in that part of the
business which is still to develop itself,
namely in the financial aspects of the
deal, if the company eventually proves
to be able to deliver any large amount
of water to Jersey City.
The East Jersey Water Company has
not acted in !, good faith with Jersey
City Even in Mr.. Hirschels announce
ment, Yesterday, there is a palpably dis
honest juggle with the figures. An along
it has represented that it could deliver
to this city practically all the water
hat we need. Upon this representation
it secured the backing of the Board of
Trade and of the Good Government
Clubs. Upon this basis. it obtained the
award of the temporary contract from
the Street and Water Board. and the
concurrence of the Board of Finance
therein. Upon this basis, Mayor Wanser
reluctantly consented to approve the
award and to sigh the contract.
The Company could never be fastened
down to any positive guarantee as to
what it could furnish Jersey City.
In its supplementary propositions.
however. estimates were offered hat
it could give 10000 600 a day. 9Th
News has always insisted that this was
impossible. We have never believed the
Company sincerely thought it. could give
this quantity. That we were right was
shown a few weeks ago when the Com
pany went to the Newark authorities
the main reservoir ON the Pequannock
to the City of Newark was incapable of
carry so, 600. 900 gallons a day and conse-
Quently was below the requirements of
the contract made with Newark.
In spite of this confession the Company
kept on wheedling the Jersey City Off
cials and the taxpayers with the same
old talk about 2O,eoe. 900 gallons a day.
The object, it is now seen, was to get
the water turned on. to get it to Harri-
son and Bayonne, where the Company
has made contracts. to our detriment.
The object was to get an actual begin
ming of service to this city with the
consent of the city authorities, SO that
the legal position of the Company might
be strengthened.
This object was secured yesterday. and,
IN the very same moment, the confession
was made that the Company had been
lying and deceiv,ng the city and that the
last drop they could hope to divert from
Newark to Hudson County was $4,000, oao
gallons a day.
The naked infamy of the facts makes
all comment superduous. The situation
is just precisely what The News fore
shadowed over and over again.

THERE is something about Mr.. Hir-
scheTs figures even now which does not
seem to be frank. He says in one breath
that Jersey City is to HAYS 12,00O 900 gal
Ions a day. In the next, he says the
capacity Of the 'Pequannock pipe is only
35.cO0. coo gallons per diem. Now we
know that Newark has a first claim to
all the water that lows through that
Pipe up to 1850, 900. 1t is as certain as
anything can be that she uses that
amount. About a year ago, the Com
pany's engineers claimed she was ex-
ceeding 1t, and there was talk of meter
ing her supply and making her pay for
all she was using over and above her
strict rights. Yesterday, it was openly
stated that she was using daily from
thirty-three to thirty-four million gall
Ions a day, and Mr.. Van Duyne Of her
Street and Water Board did not deny it.
Probably she can be forced by law to
keep down to the 27,5 900 a day that
contract calls for. but she will as
suredly keep on using that amount, leay-
ing q surplus for other places of about
7.5ee, 600 gallons.
But the Company also supplies Mont
clair and one or two other towns in Es-
sex. and they consume from a million
70 4 million and a half gallons a day;
her contract with Kearny involves a con-
sumption of about 100000 gallons, and her
contract for Bayonne calls for about
$500. 900 per diem. Here we have a total
of at least 1900. 900 to come out of the
75oe,oOo surplus before we are reached.
How much water is there then for us
in his temporary supply?
why. plainly about 100000 a day!!

FIRST and foremost among these
knayes and fools stand the Evening
Journal and its proprietor, Joseph A.
Dear. This man. from motives which he
alone can explain, overmastered the
good judgment of Major Pangborn and
arrayed his ill-reputed sheet on the side
of the corporation which was seeking to
defraud the city. He carried his per-
nicious activity into the Beard of Trade
and the Good Government Clubs. He ar
rayed. all the forces of SANDER and
obstruction in which the old fossil ele-
ment of the city abounds to cry up this
temporary supply as the proper remedy
for Jersey City's needs, when even such
limited intelligence as he possesses must
have s%uficed, if honestly applied, to show
the fraudulent impossibility of that Com
pany's professions, even if the Newark
aqueduct had been capable of carrying
the full fifty million gallons, which were
its theoretical capacity.
In this as in the City Hall abemina-
ton and a thousand other public mat
ters, the Evening Journal and its owner
and manage AVE shown themselves the
foes of the residents and taxpayers and
the cordial allies of those who sought to
plumber and pillage the city treasury.
1t is generally understood that his
disgust with this water business was one
of the motives that led to Major Pang-
born's withdrawal from the editorship of
the Journal" and the event assuredly
vindicates his wisdom and provision.
