We are paying some s36 per million gall

an average over $1.25 per million gallons.
THE profits from this department
should be not only sufficient to pay tor

upon our outstanding water debt, but
should leave a handsome surplus to be
applied annually to other city purposes.

istration.
Mr. Record asked Mr.. Edwards If the
company agreed that the time limit Of the
contract expired on February % next, and
Senator Edwards replied: No we claim
about a year additional because OF IN
avoidable delays in The work and htlga'
tion., / don't think however that Jersey
City will take US by the throat on the
time limit
II expected a fight before we Wers
through, said Mr.. Ringle.
we are not looking for it, and ! don
think Jersey City is, said Senator Ed
wards. Mr. Record thought leg1slaf1on
would be necessary. and said it would pe
well for the city to be ready in the event
of the company's failure to carry out the
contract.
At this point Mr. Edwards introduced
William H. Corbin, who said he was pres
ent by request of Senator Edwards. and
represented the East Jersey Water Com
pany and also the people VINO are IN
conference with Mr.. Flynn, with view
to finishing the work.
The negotiations are at critical
point he went on. and hope they VIII
be closed in week. If we come to an
agreement we will make definite oHer
to the city The first thing we request,
and it is imperative, is an extension or
time. Our engineers report that It IS

works inside of two summers ] don't
imply two years, but two open seasons

The ten miles of pipe line, Mr.. Corbin
continued, from Montclair to High Ser

through it next fall. He said as much
as 100 feet pressure could be given.

the contract we ask is an extension Of

Mr. Abernethy wanted to know II Mr.
Corbin's people would pay the difference
in cost of the present supply and the esti-
mated cost of the new supply during the
extension if granted.
MIR. Edwards said 1t was simply ques-
ton of what they could do
That's not our fault" retorted Mr.
Abernethy
"The entire trouble in this matter said
Mr.. Corbin, appears to be that the con-
tract called for the completion of the
wcrk in too short a time. Our engineers
claim that the time limit was made too
snort and that it was impossible to fur
nish the supply contracted for in that
time
the conference was adjourned subject
to Mayor F'agan's call.
