at their meeting this afternoon, fixed
February % as the date for the reception
of bids for the proposed new and nde-
pendent supply of water.
The 23d of February comes on Wednes-
day. The Commissioners decided not to re-
ceive bids on Monday, because it would
conflict with the other business of the
Board

ton of the specifications and believe that
Messrs. Vermeule and Ferris have thrown
out every safeguard for the city All the
members of this Board favor new sup
ply of pure and wholesome water. So do
the members of the Board of Finance. A
majority of the present officials who have
to act on the water question have Wis
tied the various watersheds and are IA
miliar with the water subject. l do not
believe we will have any trouble in ar
irving at conclusion. We will work to-
gether as harmoniously as possible. By
doing that we will be able to accom-
plish more for the city. We expect keen

I'VE will adopt plan only after hav-
ing inspected watersheds seen the pro-
posed location of storage reservoirs and
convinced ourselves generally that we are
getting a plant which will be all that
the city will require for many years to
come"
The Board will have blank forms of pro-
posals at its Office for bidders. Six weeks
have been allowed for the inspection of
the plans and specifications The Com
missioners believe that six weeks is all the
time any reputable concern should re-
quire to finance the operation.
The Commissioners expect complaints
from alleged prospective bidders, but they
say only the formal bidders will be given
attention.
The Finance Board is to meet Wednes-
day evening at eight o'clock. At that
time the resolution of the Street and Wa
ter Board to receive proposals on the 23d
of February will be concurred in.
The specifications win be advertised in
full The Commissioners agreed some
weeks ago to advertise the specifications,
so that taxpayers may read and study
them.
The specifications will be advertised for
the first time next Wednesday.

Sussex County's Sheriff TO Advertise

Sussex COuntyss Sheriff to Advertise
As H. Pl~arca.
A queer case came up before Chancel-
lor McGill this morning. An execution
in a foreclosure case was sent to the
Sheriff of Sussex County. In the recital
ordering advertisements in the Sussex
County Independent and Register This
was not satisfactory to Counselor Chris
j. Roe, whose keen-eyed nose scented a
political move, and the counsel on the
other side of the case was Mr.. John
Swayze, candidate for the prosecutor
ship of Sussex. Mr.. Roe promptly moved
to strike out that part of the recital and
Chancellor McGill in granting the mo-
tion, said
This seems, on the face of it, to be an
unwarrantable proceeding, and an indig-
nifty to the Sheriff, unless it can be shown
that there was some cause for the desig-
nation of these newspapers. You may
strike out that part.
Mr. Roe walked off smiling, while the
candidate looked glum.
