The sources of supply offered then by
the four bidders included some watersheds
never before presented to Jersey City.
Those offered by Messrs. O'Brien, Shee-
han. MacBean and Rodgers were from
the south branch of the Raritan River
with a reservoir at N~aughright and a
wide area of country drained by streams
running into the upper waters of the Rar-
itan. the Hohokus Creek and a large area
drained by the Ramapo River.
The Inman Company proposed to get
water from Sussex, Warren and Morris
counties, and build a dam at Culver Lake.
P. r. Flynn then, as he does now, pro-
posed to drain the Rockaway Gully and
Denmark Lake, Green Pond, Dixon's.
Pond and Beach Glen.
AS for the Rockaway and Hudson Com,
pany, 1t offered the Rockaway River, in.
Guiding Denmark Lake and the territory
over which they claimed to have ex-
elusive rights.
The bid of yesterday from P. H. Flynn
included three plans, the last, No. 3, be-i
being an informal plan, and was for
pumping the water from the Pomptons
River and Passaic Valley. AS It was not
mentioned in the Specifications for yester-s
days bid, it follows that it could uhder'
no circumstances be considered, n OF
course for it no contract could be awards
ed. 1t is, therefore, left out. and only the
two plans are set out as followsc-

The source from which Mr.. Flynn pro-
poses to take his supply is practically the
entire Rockaway Valley. Under the first
splan he proposes to build one large stor-
age reservoir, on the Rockaway River, at
old Boonton, capable of gathering 1882
600, 600 gallons. and having an extent OF
water shed of 122h square miles, OF water
IN the second plan that for a 10000, 900 sup
ply he proposes to build three reservoirs
The main intake at Old Boonton will be
capable of storing $3.50, 000, 900 gallons OF
water; the second reservoir to be at
Longwood Valley, having a storage eapa-
city of 1920, 900, 900 gallons, and the third
at Beach Glen. with a storage capacity
of 1867. 900, 900 gallons; the entire watershed
for the seventy million supply being III
square miles. MI. Flynn claims that the
water he offers on both plans is absolute
ly pure, and he will take care that there
is no possible contamination by sewage.
To determine whether or not the plan
Of Mr.. Flynn is the best the city can hope
to get at this time, or whether by waiting
it would get the water cheaper. is the
problem before the Board who have be-
fore them the ~indisputable fact that since
eight or ten years ago, when the city be-
gan to agitate for water. every year has
seen the price of that valuable commo-
dity pure water go steadily higher and
higher. No wonder that with the water
nrohlarn hefore them the Commissioners
recall the lines of that distinguished
Latin gentleman musing over an equally
difficult task: chic labor, hoe opus est"

AN UNSLAgED THIRST.
The TribuIatiosas of a Q~uartette OF
GreenvilIians.

Four Greenville fishermen" all MEM
bers of the Greenville Republican League
Club. had a peculiar experience recently
when they went-on a trip along the coast
of this State. In the party were Charles
Kraft, Edward Waters. Harry Petty and
Walter Mabie. The quartette hired a
large sail boat and were determined to
make a day of it. Provisions and drink
ran low, so the story is told. and a land
ing was effected at Boynton Beach. 1t
was deserted: not a soul nor the prospect
of a drink was in sight. After wander
ing about the beach for some time an
old farmer came out Of the woods and
was bombarded with the four-barrelled
question:
Where can we get a drlnk?'
The native directed them to a road
he said a trolley car could be found which
would convey them to a hotel.
The men found the trolley car but no
motorman or conductor was in sight.
Thinking that perhaps the crew would
return shortly the adventurers clambered
aboard and congratulated themselves on
their good luck. A wait of half an hour
ensued and then the thirsty men became
impatient. Walter Mabie, one of the
party, said he thought he would go and
look for the fellow who ran the car. AS
he got off he noticed that the car was
rusted to the tracks and that it must
have been standing there at least a
month. Looks were exchanged, and each
man said something, not loud. but en-
phatic. Then with parched throats they
wandered bach to the shore to find that
were forced to swim back to the sailboat.
The experience was kept quiet. but it
| leaked out a few days ago and great was
the fun poked at the inexperienced
