FREEHOLD, April 9, lS97.-Henry P.
INLAY, Collector of Taxes for Upper Free
hold Township, disappeared from his
home nea Allentown a week ago, and
no news Of him has been received since
last Thursday, when he was with his
brother, Peter H. Inliay, in Trenton. It is
alleged that he was unable to qualify for
the Office of Collector, to which he was
reelected last fan, and left the State.
The time in which INLAY was required
some weeks ago. The Township Com
mbttee, however, did not press him until
last week, when they set Monday of this
week as the limit. Inlay had left home
before the official notice was delivered,
and it is now believed that he planned
to go away. His wife notified the COM
mittee Saturday evening that he has not
returned. She did not SNOW where he
had gone, and had not heard of his
whereabouts.
The Township Committee have been at
work day and night on his accounts,
merous discrepancies in them. They sent
an officer to Freehold, and application
wac made to the County Court for an
order attaching Imlay's personal property,
levy upon which was mad on Monday.
Some 5000 was found to Imlay's credit
in he Allentown bank and the cashier
of that institution was ordered to stop
payment on any checks drawn against
that account.
INLAY was one of the Democratic can
didates for the House of Assembly last
all. His bondsmen are his mother, Mrs.
INLAY; his father-in-law, Amos Miller,

new WATER
Common Council Resolve to
Advertise for Bids, but Will
Disclose Its Plans and
Specifications.

The Hoboken Board Of Water Commits
sioners at q special meeting last night de-
cided to advertise for bids to furnish the
city with a new water supply. Tor some
reason, which the Commissioners refused
to explain, the or:ginal plans and speci-
fications as prepared by City Engineer
Mccain and Allan L. McDermott were
not given out for publication. They We're
presented at the meeting and received but
were not adopted. Al resolution. however,
was drafted from the plans and this viii
be held aus a guide until the Commission
ers see fit to place the full set of specifi-
cations before the public. The resolution
is practically the same as the original
plans only in the. latter more details
are given. 1t provides for a pure and
wholesome supply of water for the city,
to on November ], 1888, the
date of the expiration of the present con
tract with the HackenSack Water Conn
pany.
Bidders villa be requested to present
separate proposals for the terms of hf-
teen, twenty and twenty-five years re-
spectiveiy, the supply to be delivered into
the distributing mains of the city under
a pressure sufficient to indicate forty
pounds on gauge in the office of the
Water Registrar, standing at an elevation
OF 81 feet above mean high water. The
resolution also specifies that a reservoir
shall DO constructed within five miles of
the city limits with q total storage ca
pacity OF fifty million gallons. The reser-
vcir or reservoirs shall be constructed
and used exclusively for the city of Ho-
boken- A chemical analysis of the water
by a chemist of good repute must be de-
livered with each proposal. Bidders shall
state price per million gallons.
The city will agree to tax a min.Inum
supply of four million gallons of water
daily and the source must be capable
of furnishing at least twelve million gal
Ions every day.
A provision in the plans states that the
contractors may present d price at which
the city shall fave the option of purchase
after five, ten, fifteen and twenty years.
upon one years notice, of all works con-
structed and all lands and water rights,
etc, appertaining to the supply.
The specifications VIII be advertised in a
day or two Commissioners Dynan and
Quidore s~trenoueiy objected to the Board
keeping the original specifications from
the public.
Il want to say right here, aid Conn
missioner Dynan, that every move in this
matter should be open and above board.
The people have their eyes upon this
Board. l assure you, and no nonsense will
be tolerated They should know what
those plant are. / don't understand those
Der of this Board has a thorough know
ledge OF them. | hope that those specifi-
cations show no favoritism to anyone"
Chairman OfFerman said that he was
not in favor of disclosing the plans. I'm
der the resolution" said he, anyone can

the public we run a big risk of having
our plans upset by the courts as was
SHOWN in the jersey City affair"
