hereinbefore referred to may file a bill

nance by injunction or otherwise, accord
ing to the practice of the Court, and

rules mi practice
If that is not ample to prevent pollu-
ton, don't know what is remarked
Colonel Price, referring to the law. A
for the alleged source of pollution on the
city property that can be readily remov-
ed by the city itself. For any other
source complained of it is the duty of the
East Jersey Water Company to remove
it and the duty of the city officials to
see that it is done. Otherwise the con-
tract is being violated, for the company
guarantees to deliver a supply of pure
and wholesome water up to 1900, and
then deliver a plant free from all pos
sible sources of pollution. The Board of
Works, of course, is charged with seeing
that the contract is properly fulfilled and
that no doubt is what it will do"
