lie DEFENDS HIS ACTION IN APPROVING
THE AWARD or THE WATER con
TRACT TO FLYNN.

explanation OF why he approves Of the water con-
tract so earnestly desired by the Democratic bosses
He adopted a novel plan 10 reach the public by
addressing his explanation TO the Board OF Fnon>e
Il Is a long communication. and in the Introduction
contains this amusing paragraph:
The fact that not only the street and water
Board. but also youi Board. has voted unanimousy
for The passage Of this resolution. seems 20 mol
cate that YOU have risen above the level OF politics
and have honestly endeavored 10 further the almost
universal demand that this all-important question
be settled now and forever.
The Mayer frankly confessed that he was not In
huenced by petitions either for or against the
award 70 Flvnn. because he knows how easily sig
natures &c petitions can be secured. lie sets forth
that the city will receive an Inferior quality 81
water after 1900 II the present temporary contract
IS continued and declares that Jersey city, IN
order 10 properly continue municipal life, must Cd
tain new and permanent water supply
The Mayor reviews the several attempts made 10
secure "a permanent supply since November !. 1892.
and gives summary Of the proposals. including
those submitted by the Rockaway and Hudson
Company last February. proposals which were re-
iocfcd 10 clear the way for the Flynn contract
The company offered a plant for 100000 Flynn =
minimum bid rs s. sos 90 The Mayor then gives
alleged advantages which have been exploited By
Flynn's hackers. and he closes with these recon-
mcndatiOns:
First-The utmost vigilance In guarding against
the mnutest possible pollution
least so long water Is purchased by the million
Third-The reduction OF expenses in the collec-
