1t appears from the East Jersey Water
Sompany's communication that Jersey
City owes the company already for water
Iurnlshed $3.50, goo, not including S52, 600
Wnlch the company voluntarily released.
Inc city has not paid the company one
dollar Of the money due for water sup
Piled The company las instituted suit,
and claims to have a good contract. The
city is not in the best possible position
financially to pay for the new supply of
water. Receipts from water rents and for
water supplied large corporations are far
in excess of the receipts of Newark. But
the expenses are large. The water debt
Is large and at a high interest rate, and
the saving on account of the discontinue
ance of pumping from the Passaic River
at Belleville is not more than 5000 or
$4,000 a year. Much of the money naid
for the water purchased by the million
gallons from the water companv will he
