Supply After 0oto-
Der 1902.
OUR NEW WORKS MAY BIZ READY
If Not There Is a Penalty
Clause and We Can Buy
From Adjoining Cities

Tomorrow there win be conference in
the Board of Finance rooms about the
supply of water for the city after October
u. 1902, on which day the East Jersey
Water Company's temporary supply con-
tract will terminate At the conference
will be the Mayor, the Finance Comnis-
sioners, Street and Water Commissioners,
Corporation Counsel, Engineer Garwood
Ferris and his two assistants, Messrs. y.
p. Hall and H. H. Bowly; Mr.. W. w.
Edwards representing the East Jersey
Water Supply Company.
Some of the Commissioners fear that
the new supply will not be ready to be
turned on by October, 1902, and this fear
has been increased by the fact that the
construction work on the new water
works is not proceeding as rapidly as
the engineers would desire.
On the other hand, many of the city
officials say it does not matter whether
the Flynn syndicate are ready or not.
the contract provides penalty clause
for delay, and at the worst the city
could buy all the water needed from the
Hackensack Water Company, Newark or
Bayonne
Mr.. w. D. Edwards was seen this morn
ing respecting the progress of the works.
He said
There need be no fear that the new
water works at Boonton will not be ready
by the time stipulated in the contract.
Let anyone who doubts it go and look at
the work done on the pipe line. We will
be ready
Commissioner James s. Nolan, of the
STREET and Water Board. said today that
the Board had no right to notify the con-
tractors about any alleged delay on the
work. If the work is not finished and the
water turned on when the contract calls
there was penalty Of $500 per day. He
had no doubt that the company would full
fill its contract to the letter

His Viayxs

The Rev. John A. Sullivan, rector of
st. Aloysiuss Catholic Church on West
Side avenue, has come out aat-footed for
Bryan. The priest in an interview a day
or two ago, denounced the present admin

I do not believe in silver" he said, "and
for that reason voted against Bryan in
1886. But today that issue is dead. Bryan
gets my vote and sincerely hope he will
be successful.
He has made great fight and is in
no condition to fight the battle that he
was four years ago. The heavy strain is
telling on him and his voice is almost
gone. The reception he received in Hud-

much the people think of him. He will
make a good run and trust that he will
be successful"
