Jersey City, October q, 1897.
To the Hon. the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners
conference.-the clumps OF piles driven
on the north side of the bridge carrying
the 20-inch water main across the Hack
ensack River are in Il ~dilapidated and
dangerous condition., and need tying up
Der of the elulnps have disappeared alto
gether, either by being broken off by the
ice in winter or eaten off by worms. Inc
ciumps of three piles each are put there
for the purpose of protecting The bents
under the bridge from being carried
away with the ice. which at times IN win
ter is very bad on the ebb tide, ana
would recommend that they be repaired
and new poles driven before the winter
sets in, as it would be difficult TO do the
repairing when the ice is running, as well
as expensive. Respectfully yours,
