Canada, it is asserted is relatively In

Of commons. The new reapportionment
bill will recognize it's recent growth and
in the years just at hand it must have
still greater representation. Thus will the
center Of political power gradually pass
from the conservative. eastern provinces
towards the more enterprising and pro-
gressive west. The danger that this is to
happen is shrewdly suspected to have not
a alittle to do with the present attitude
of the conservatives It looks in some of
it's phases like the struggles which at
tend the moving westward from New Eng
land and New York of the center of po-
litical power in the United States, but
with the important difference that the
conservatives here have not the able
champions in public life that the two

SNEAK THIEF MAKES HAUL.

Some time between and O'Clock
yesterday afternoon a sneak thief en-
tered the house of Mrs. Mason, of 5S2
State street, and stole lot of jewelry
belonging to the family. A ladies
gold watch and chain, two plain gold
rings, gentleman diamond ring
and child's silver and gold bracelet
were included in the lot taken. AL
though the matter was reported to the
police as soon as the loss was discoy-
cred no clue that might lead to the
identity of the culprit has been
obtained.
Mrs. Mason is at loss to account
how the person, who apparently holp-
cd themselves to everything in sight,
could do such a thing. The value
placed upon the articles taken is about
$500. The police hold out little hope
of recovering the goods in such cases
for a sneak always leaves town as soon
as he does a job like this.

Local Dealer Brings Hay from Canada
Declares that Hay in this Vicinity is so
High that Even With Cost of Shipping
and Duty, Foreign Hay is Cheaper
Now on Canal Boat.

A cargo of hay. imported from Can
ada. arrived here this morning in a
canal boat consigned to Thomas Eggert
q Co. AS far as is known at the
Custom House in this city, it is the
first cargo of hay that has ever been
imported into Perth Amboy and the
reasons for its importation is given
that even after paying oil transporta-
tino from st. John and the duty on it,
it is cheaper if not better than hay
grown in the United States.
The cargo, 1t is said, was originally
shipped for Scotland, but it arrive d
in New York instead and Mr.. Eggert
has been fortunate enough to secure a
boat load of it,
Hay in this vicinity is unusually
high Just now and every indication
points to higher market price owing
to the exceeding drought in this Sec
tion of the country. 1t is stated un-
less rain comes very soon the crops Of
new hay in this State will be very
small With poor prospect for good
crops in the west owing to the recent
floods in that section combined with
the exceeding drought in the east, it
is quite likely that hay, with other
things, will be taking some sudden
leaps in the market very soon.

Work on South Approach began
Yesterday Pile Driver Taken
Across the River.
WORK MUST BE SLOW.
Driver is Able to Work Only During pigh
Tide Owing TO Shallow Water Would
Sink in the Mud-MuCh Filling is Neces-
sary on this Side Before Bridge will be
Useful

The work of driving the piling for
the new Raritan river bridge at the
South Amboy end commenced at noon
yesterday. The pile driver started to
work on the Fouratt site.
Just how long it will take the COM
panv to get all the piling down is
hard to say at the present time as the
pile driver will be able to work only
at high tide on the South Amboy side.
as the water, when the tide is out, is
so low the driver would sink in the
mud
The company is rushing the work,
however, and everything is progress
ing smoothly. On this side of the
river the piling is all down and all is
ready for the planking and iron work.
When the bridge is finished by the
contractors it will be long time be-
fore it can he used to advantage on
account of the height from the ground.
There is q great deal of filling in to
be done before the approach is COM
pleted. The contractor hopes to have
this work done by the middle of Sep
tember and it is the general opinion
that the city must hurry to be ready
to make the bridge useful when it is
completed.

DUTY AND POWER OF
WATER COMMISSION.
the Ordinance Which has Passed its First Reading Becomes
Law the New Commissioners WM Take Entire Charge of
Water Department and will Meet Same as the Aldermen

The News yesterday told OF an or
dinance introduced at the, meeting of
the Board of Aldermen Monday night,
which, if passed. will ultimately
create a Board of Water Commits
sioners.
The ordinance is introduced under
the law of 1876 which the city adopted
when it created the present water
system at the polls some time ago. 1t
is not the same law under which
Mayor Seaman in his annual message,
asked the Board of Aldermen to give
him the power to appoint water
commission. That law has since been
repealed.
A board shall have all the powers
vested in the Board of Aldermen to
transact only the business of the water
department, except that of issuing Of
bonds for any improvements. This,
like the Board of Education. will
have to be brought before the Board
OF Aldermen and if they see fit such
work can be done. In appointing the
commission the Board of Aldermen,
may or may not, attach salary and
if they do. it will doubtless be small.
Each member of the commission must
be sworn in by the City Clerk. AS a
commission they will hold meetings
at stated times and like the Board of
Aldermen transact such business as
comes before them. They will also
have superintendent to carry out
their instructions and clerk and col
lector if they so desire.
In the matter of salary Comptroller
Voorhees,, who explained the law, said
he has known of cities much larger
than Perth Amboy where a water
commission has served without pay.
