A conference was held at the City Hall
today to decide upon what means should
be taken to remove the STOW. Those who
considered the question were Mayor

OF Street and Water Commissioners, James
Lehay, roadmaster OF the North Jersry

superintendent for Contractor Henry

noon today and superintendent Boyle
went away to begin operations. Some

1t was officially announced today thas
the capitalists connected with the East
Jersey Water Company, interested IN the
water scheme for the city. had decided 70
advance the SO, ,500, 600 to erhble the Jersey
City Water Supply Company to complete

Yes said Mr.. w. d Edwards, repre-
senting the Flynn interest to News"
representative. IT is practically settled
and we are now in position to so to the
city and make our proposition.
Had 1t not been for the snow storm
which kept certain parties in their homes,
there would have been conference with
the Mayor and the Boards Of Finance and
Street and Water Commissioners today
That meeting viii however take place
either tomorrow or Thursday, and the

fer anyone to give figure that appeared
reasonably correct. II was finally decided
to pace no restriction on the work save
the Injunction, do it as quickly and as
cheaply as possible" This Mr.. BOYLE as
snrde the conference would be his rule.
OF the figures mentioned an average OF
about $500 can be struck, though some
think this amount will be exceeded.
Contractor Byrne's appropriation for
street cleaning does not cover the re-
smoval Of the snow and the cost will have
to be paid out of a special appropriation
which the Board of Finance viii make.
There is some difficulty in getting men
to do the work. Laborers who were un-
employed saw the Chance Of few days
work in cleaning away snow and the ma
iority Of them fost no time in applying
to big corporations for work. These con-
Germs were in need of men and the appii-
cants were quickly employed. The Penn
sylvania Railroad engaged more men than
one would think were without employ
ment. The result is that when the city $
work received attention there was an in
sufffcient force to draw from. Those who
have charge of the work, however. are
hopeful that they will be able TO go
ahead in a satisfactory manner with the
means at hand.
