in Sullivan county. N. r., and it may be
that there viii be some delay in the
legal proceedings pending against the
Jersey City Water Supply Company by
his absence,
Mr.. w. D. Edwards has. not yet COM
pieted his answer to the bill filed by Mr..
William Belden who is seeking to have
a receiver appointed to take charge of
the colnpany's affairs. which, he asserts,
are insolvent. Mr.. Flynn's counsel will
meet every allegation in the bill with
overwhelming proof that there is no need
for any interference by the Court of
Chancery. The charge that the COM
pany IS insolvent. they say, is utterly
ridiculous and without any foundation.
All the money necessary to complete the
construction work at Boonton is ready
and there need not be the slightest fear
that the contract will not be finished in
time.

to show cause will take place in Newark
