The Newark Board OF Works has at last de-

Dull by the horns The City Counsel is to draw
UP bill OF complaint to the Chancery Court. and
that tribunal will be asked to interpret the con-
tract In the light Of the ctys complaint and de-
hne the respective rights OF the two parties to
the dispute. The East Jersey Water Company
has appeared TO court litigation, or at least 10
be Indifferent to the attitude taken by the city,
and presumably II is acting under legal advice.
The contract for the Pequannock water supply
Is an admirably drawn instrument, and has been
pronounced ironclad by the best lawyers. To
Newark people IL does not seem possible for the
companys lawyers to find a loophole of escape
In 1t. In 1892 a supplemental contract was
passed with some deftly worded provisions. The
manifest objects sought in this supplement by
the company were. first, to defer until Septem-
Der. 1900. all legal question OF the companys
liability under the contract, and second, to make
the city pay the last instalment $2OOOOOO in
per cent bonds, instead OF in cash. The city's
lawyers say that this supplement isn't worth the
paper 1t Is written on so far these two stpu-
lations are concerned Commissioners who helped
10 make this contract dscam all knowledge OF
any understanding of these objects. and scout
the Interpretation put upon it by the company.
The litigation will doubtless be prolonged, and
will be carried to the Court of Errors and APP
peals from the Chancery Court. Nor is the city
in any mood to compromise to surrender one
jot OF the cty's rights guaranteed by the con-
tract.

Jurisdiction of J. s. HObson to
Be Extended.
Will Be Made Signal Engineer
Over All Lines
OF SANTA FEE SYSTEM
Is Considered the Most Com
petent Man
In the West by the Santa Fe
For the Work.

The Jurisdiction of Mr.. ]. S. Hobson,
signal engineer of the Santa Fe road
proper, will probably be extended over
all the Santa Fe system lines in the
near future.
Mr.. Robson is at present on the line
of the Santa Fe-Pacific arranging for
the putting in of several interlockine
plants at railroad crossings. The inter-
locking devices placed at railroad cross
ings on the Santa Fe during the past
year have proved so satisfactory in the
saving of time and as safeguards
against danger, that the other system
lines want them. 1t is the same way
with the lock signal system. 1t has
proven of such value in the operation of
trains On the Santa Fe, that arrange
ments are being made for its adoption
to some extent at least on the other
lines of the system.
For these reasons the extension of Mr..
HObsOn's jurisdiction will be only nat
ural. There is probably no more COM
petent signal engineer in the west.
and he can easily handle the work of
the entire system. 1t will also be more
satisfactory to have the work under
the charge of one man.

to be identified with the Santa Fe. For
several years he was in charge of the
