ahe Water Fight
Bayonne win have water supplied by the
New York and New Jersey Water Com
pany. An injunction issued by the United
States Circuit Court on the application
of Ritter & Williams, sub-contractors for
the water company, made it possible to
connect the conpany's proposed supply
pipe with the principal water main of
Bayonne on Wednesday The work was
completed without trouble before night
fall A new gate was also put in.
The injunction is aimed at several of the
city officials of Bayonne. Patrick Nugent,
Councilman. being named as chief de-
fendant. The injunction is returnable at
Trenton on December and restrains the
city officials in the meantime from inter-
fering with the work of connecting the
mains or laying the pipes.
The connection was made on Avenue d,
near the Morris Canal, the boundary line
between Bayonne and Jersey City. The
work was we'll under way when Council
man Nugent hurried to the scene. On his
arrival he was served with the injunction,
which put an end to the city fathers OPP
position. He denounced what he termed
the unfair and Illegal action Of the water
syndicate. The action Of the water COM
pany was a, sort of coup d'etat, and put
stop to further hostilities.
At last Tuesdays meeting of the Bay
onne Council a resolution was introduced
by Councilman Cassidy directed against
the water company. The measure requires
the corporation to report 10 the Council
everything concerning the proposed sup
ply of water before the company did any
work toward laying the pipes. The Com
mittee on Water, Streets and Drainage
were instructed to enforce the terms of
the water contract, and the Police De-
partment was ordered to assist the COM
mittee This measure has been rendered
imperative by the injunction, and the
work can now proceed IN peace.
The next step of Councilman Nugent
and the opposition Is awaited with much
curiosity by the people Of Bayonne.
