PATERSON WILL APPEAL
Will Garry Passaic Pollution
Case to Court Of Errors
and Appeals.
Especial to ..The Jersey city News."l

ISpec1al 10 Ine Jersey city NEWS.
PATERSON, March Z, 1ss9.-City Coun-
sci Simonton, when shown the decision of
Chancellor McGill in the Passaic Pollu-
ton case. said
.Of course, we will Immediately appeal
to the Court of Errors and Appeals. The
appeal will be on two grounds; the first
from the decision of the demurrer. and the
second from the restraining order.
.sThis matter has been before the Chan
cellor just eleven months, so you may es-
timate with what CELEBRITY the Court of
Errors ant Appeals will act. Then if the
court of last resort decides against Pater-
son we come back to the Court of Chan
Gerry for hearing on the main point in dis
pute, viz, the stopping entirely of the
emptying of Paterson's sewage into the
Passaic River. In the advent of another
adverse decision in the Court of Chancery
we will again appeal to the Court of Err
rors and Appeals, SO you can see that the
city of Paterson is not in any danger of
the effect of any decree Of the Court. And
you will notice that that is presuming
that the city of Paterson is beaten on
every point, which is not at all a foregone
conclusion
will you appeal from the restraining
order act as a stay?
Yes, I should think So" replied Mr..
Simonton. 1--WE will appeal from the or
der, and that should suspend the opera
ton of the order"
IF the order went into operation does
it only mean that no more sewer outlets
shall be constructed, and have no r%estric-
ton on introducing additional sewage in
to the present pipes?'
81 should think not" said the City
Counsel. 1T prohibits adding to the pres
ent volume of sewage that burdens the
river. That would prevent the cOnStruc-
ton of any lateral sewers or any sewers
whatever which eventually discharged in
to the river, whether by the present out
lets or not. But the restraining order
will not go into effect while the appeal
is pending before the Court of Errors and

The Water Contract.

We attach very small Importance to the
eertiorarf proceedings which ave been
brought to test the water contract. 1t
was almost inevitable that some one or
other would take the matter into court.
We are governed these days by certiorari
and mandamus, and it would be strange
indeed if this important move should go
unlitigated.
We nave no dou that the contract
will hold. It is executed in good faith
by both parties, and it is framed in the
interest of both. That is to say, it is SO
framed as to protect the city in every
respect. as to quantity and quality of the
supply, and immunity from all claim for
whatsoever damage may arise In the con-
struction of the works and the puridca-
tion of the water; and it is also framed
SO as to guarantee the contractor the
price demanded In his proposal and con-
templated in the award made to him. The
utmost pains have been taken to make
the terms of the agreement clear and GER
tain. No care has been omitted which
would tend to make the bargain fair and
binding. If the courts set this contract
aside, it may be regarded as impossible,
any longer to make a contract in this
State which will hold water.
The principal thing to be regretted
about the litigation is the delay which 1t
involves. II the Court upholds the deal,
D point will be gained in establishing the
contract in the public confidence. But
any such small gain as this will be dear
~ bought if the beginning of practical
work on the storage reservoir and pipe
line is postponed for six or three months.
Our present arrangement with the East
Jersey Water Company terminates in
1901, and we may be placed in a very
awkward position during the period be-
tween its expiration and the delivery of
the new supply. We may either ave to
go back to the Passaic or else pay a very
fancy price for our water.
