will begin business with $500, 600 capital

sS,5O0,0O0 of bonds will be used in i'm
proving existing plants and acquiring new
fields.
The former company owns a number of
trolley lines in different parts of the
United States, including the Bridgeton
Lighting plant, in this State The lat
ter company owns the Atlantic Light
and Power Company of Atlantic City, be-
sides numerous plants in other sections,
The directorate of the new combination
includes William F. Harrity, Thomas Do

BOARD Of TRADE JUNKET
On Next Tuesday the Mem

The members of the Board of Trade

supply have made up their minds that the
only way out of the water scheme dill
emma, into which the city and the con-
tractor have fallen. is for the committee
to so out to Boonton and look over what

contract Mr. Bergen has not as yet ac-
cepted. He will confer with the commits

ridges, come back to Boonton. have din
ner and then return and in the evening
to discuss the situation.
ssYou see, said one of the committee,
the status of the work so that we can
take some action for the preservation OF
the city's rights. Some of think that the
work has not advanced SO rapidly as ii
might and we want to know why. II the
contractors are to blame We want to
know it, and if the city's engineers, paid
to supervise the work, have not done
what they have been paid to do, we want
to know that, too. We think that the
city should go very slow in modifying
the present contract. Some of think the
contractors should be held up to their
promise. Anyway, we are going to keer
in view the city's interest. They are
paramount"

care whether It's black, white or cayenne

head about putting such stuff in his
wife's coffee unless he is inhuman? Way

sufficient evidence of cruelty.
