NO INSPECTION.
City Boards Delay Super
vision Appointments for
Lack Of Funds.
INCREASING WATER REVENUES
Meters to Be Placed In Build
ings Where There Is Great
Water Consumption.

The Mayor. members of the Finance
Board and Street and Water Commission
ers, Corporation Counsel A. l.. MeDer-
mott, John ]. Cone and George I. Bou-
ton, met yesterday afternoon to discuss
the question of inspection in relation 10
the new pipe line.
AS asThe News said yesterday, MI.
Garwood Ferris, the consulting engineer
has estimated the entire cost to be Ssu,uoV
While the Financiers were agreed that
this inspection was absolutely necessary
the trouble was, Where was the money
to come from?"
Corporation Counsel McDermott pointed
out that there was no law by which the
city could raise money for this. and IL
spent at all it must come out of the water
account, and that is not in such a neaithy
state as to meet such a demand on its
resources so that for the present the
question of inspection must remain in
allegiance, and the city officials must play
the role of Micawber and wait until some
thing turns up.
The conferencing officials then con-
sidered the matter of collecting the arrears
of water rents to pay off the claims of
the East Jersey Water Company. 1t was
agreed that meters should be placed in
saloons, drug stores. stables and green
houses and buildings where water was
freely used daily. BY these means a
large Increase would be made to the water
revenues From the old water account it
was believed that possibly some money
could be gained to meet in some way the
cost of inspecting the pipe line and water
works until legislative relief was obtained
next winter.
Then the Finance Board promised to ar
range for the appropriation of $4,000 for
a park for Little Italy, the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners to do
their part towards obtaining the land and
providing for the remainder.
The asphalting of Newark avenue was
another topic discussed-everyone agree
ing that it would be a splendid thing for
that thoroughfare. All these improve
ments cost money. and the Finance Com
missioners will put on their thinking caps
TO ind the wherewithal.

rcs,..,o1 - -ssn,,,r To-ea,- f,i+,- Nroz-e 81


TRENTON, April 2S, 19OO.-Admiral
Sampson yesterday filed an answer to the
petition of Commander Eaton of the
United States steamer Resolute, that he
and the officers and men of that vessel
be included in the suit brought by Ad-
miral Sampson for award of prize money.
Commander Eaton, in his petition filed
last September. stated that the Resolute
participated in the engagement when the
Spanish squadron wasa defeated off San
tiago, and the officers and men of that
vessel are, therefore, entitled to- prize
money, although they were not mention
ed in Admiral Simpsons suit.
The answer filed yesterday states that
the truth of the statements recited by
Commander Eaton are neither admitted
nor denied, but all questions of fact or
law draw into question by the petitioner
are to be determined by the Court.
Included in the list of the men who aas-
sisted in the manning Of the Resolute
are a number of members of the Naval
Reserves.

meetings of the Elementary Class, that
the committee proposed opening on the
first Tuesday in October) is not a dedicat-
ed edifice, as the name might lead one to
think, but a. public lecture hall, and the

the spirit Of the movement, which is nom
sectarian.
