Of dogs. The sands are on or near the

that he has stated cattle keep away
from the barking and that the Japan

made up and a good team game for re-

HARRISON MUST PAY UP
Or Jersey City Will Cut
OF Her Supply Of
Water,
MAYOR zoos URGES ACTION
Considerable Business at
Yesterdays Meeting of
Street and Water Board.

The Street and Water Commissioner
met yesterday afternoon. No action was
taken in the water question. That Will
be discussed with the Mayor and Finance
Commissioners next week. The Hudson
City Improvement Association complain
ed of defects In the Jefferson avenue side
walk, the condition of Palisade venue at
the Rav1ne BOARD bridge, and charged
that the curling on Jefferson venue is
not properly set. Mrs. Margaret ONeill
protested against the continuance Of an
Erie Railroad track which crosses Ninth
street, diagona1ly, at the southwest cor
ner of Barnum street. Mrs. O'Neill al
leges that the track damages her prop
erty and seriously hinders the hauling of
lumber from her yard. The protest is to
be examined into.
The Mayor sent a letter to the Board
demanding that some action be taken TO
compel the town of Harrison to pay its
water taxes. The town now owes about
$1S,0 c0. The Town officials promised to
make a settlement last July. but for
some reason failed to keep their agree
ment. The Mayor suggests that if Har-
rison does not pay up, steps should be
taken to enforce a settlement. There was
a movement afoot some months ago to
cut off the towns supply. Corporation
Counsel McDerrott advised the Street
and Water Board that the supply could
be cut off. The Street and Water Com
missioners were loath to adopt such a
harsh measure, but they have decided to
follow the Corporation Counseis advice
if some disposition to pay the water ar
rearages is not shown. Water Registrar
Peckham today sent the Harrison Coun-
ell a detailed statement Of its indebted
ness, and with it q note to the effect that
the supply will be turned off If payment
is not made. The difficulty with the Har-
rison government is hat its water con-
sumers are III arrears and positively re-
fuse to make settlement. The Harrison
officials propose cutting off the supply of
every who is in arrears.
"A resolution was adopted declaring that
portion of the Ravine Road, between
Ravine avenue and the city boundary line,
about sixty feet east of the r.@ht of way
of the New Jersey Junction Railway, a
public ~thoroughfare. The resolution also
authorized the Committee on Streets to
improve the new street with Belgian
blocks to be used, and such as the city
has on hand. The work is to be done by
regular employees, when their services are
not required elsewhere.
Specifications were adopted for the
sweeping and cleaning Of the streets and
the removing of ashes and garbage, and
also for the purchase of steel water pipe.

the Improvement of Church street. Henry
Byrne was awarded contracts for the i'm
