C. C. yermeule. the expert engineer. con-
tributed an interesting chapter yesterday to
the history of the long continued efforts TO
procure q new supply of pure and wholesome
water for Jersey City TO taAo the place OF the
polluted PAssaic River water. Mr.. yermeuls
Is the consulting engineer who prepared rho
specifications for the contract which were
severely criticised by George W. Rafter of
Rochester. an expert engineer employed by the
Board Of Trade. Mr.. Vermeule addressed
his communication to the Board OF Trade.
He defends himself from tho ~insinua-
lions that he was biased, that he had
any personal interest In the matter, or that
he had ATTEMPTED in any way to influence
the municipal authorities one way or the other.
He says he never attempted to usurp tho func-
tons of the city Government or undnly In
nuence its decision. He takes up and d!sposes
OF MI. Rafter's criticisms seriatim, and says
that Mr.. Rafter used an old rainfall record
which. wes discontinued thirty years ago on
which.to.base bis and that he Is pre-.
pared 10 produce the author OF the cllmAtol-
ogy of Naw Jersey which Mr.. Rafter quotes
himself refute the He maintains
that the specifications, which Mr.. Rsfter said
we're imDroperly and loosely drawn. provided
for ICON iuit or appliances Of whatever ma
ture" TO convey the water To the city, and not
for one conduit only. and he denies that the
bidder Who misintsrpreted it.
Mr.. vernleule then refers to the alleged
danger Of having q supply from one conduit,
Instead Of two. Mr.; Ratter had referred In
lock Lake with a duplicate pipe. Mr.. Yer
meuls accuses him OF a want or frankness In
not stating the facts. and sLys that the Roches-
ter Water Works were planned: IN 1872. and
completed in-lS76. with n single pipe line
twenty-ssyen miles long. IL was not until
1894 hat Anew pipe was laid and put In ser
vice. He fatty contradicts the statement
made bY Mr.. Rsfter that. there is an abund-
ance OF precedent for the preparation Of spe-
cihcations according. % we'll settled plans. He
saws there is not q single precedent for adver-
Using openly for bids for such = water su only.
Mr.. Vermeule then discusses MIR. Rar,er's
figures rs ~to-cost, and gives some figures In
comparison. giving Mr.. iIafter this parting
ehot: ,. '.
II do not intend by these figures to show that
the East Jersey or any other company or CON
tractor will furnish water to your city with
out profit. WHAT they do seem to show IL that
