Superintendent Burns Says
Streets can be Watered at
Least Once a Day.
BEGAN THIS MORNING.
win Sprinkle Only in Front of those Stores
and Dwellings Which Pay for Acc mm0-
datiOn-ca Works offered Water but
Dorsey Claimed it Would not pay to
Cart it

Street sprinkling was resumed about
11.30 O'Clock this morning by e. J.
Dorsey & Sons. Superintendent Burns.
of the Water Department, gave the
permission. Before they could
sprinkle the streets, however, it was
necessary to take a cart load of water
to the city hospital where the pressure
is still very low.
When Edward Dorsey was seen by a
News reporter and asked how long
the company would continue to
sprinkle the street he said:
Yesterday we received word from
Superintendent Burns that we could
resume sprinkling the street, il we
wished to, and, as his orders TO stop
were the only thing that caused us to
cease, we will set at it and keep il
up. We will sprinkle the streets at
least once day and more if we can. -
Mr.. Dorsey said that until Monday
he would sprinkle only in front of the
stores and houses that pay.
Several days ago the Standard I'M
derground Gable Works offered Mr..
Dorsey all the water be could use for
street 5Qrinkling, but Mr.. Dorsey
claimed'it would not pay him to cart
the water % far.

Westminster Will Soon be a
Thing Of the Past Ministers
so TO Newton.
PROVISIONS OF WILL.
1t Was Provided that Unless the Newton
House was Occupied before Certain
Date the Property Would. go to .0ther
Parties-Carpenters Still at Work on
Structure.

That the Westminster house on High
street will soon be thing of the past
now seems evident. The farewell
sermons have been preached and three
of the ministers from this city now
occupy the home at Newton. If
everything goes along as expected the
old home in this city will be closed
by July 1st.
By the terms of the will of the
late owner of the home at Newton,
which was left to the Presbyterians
as home for aged ministers, it
was necessary for the building to be
occupied at certain date or the pro-
perty would go to other parties. Last
Sunday the farewell sermons were
preached to the ministers at the West
minister home, and the Rev. Robert
White, Miss E. A. William and Miss
Annie Skea now live at the home in
Newton. The contractors, who have
been repairing the place and building
an addition to the rear of the resi-
dence, have been delayed on account
of trouble with the different labor
unions. 1t was the original intention
to have the Newton home ready by
June /, but this is now impossible.

TROLLEYS NOW
ENTER ARENA.
SettIementOf the South Approach
Removes that Phase and the
Franchise is Next.
TO PUSH THE WORK.

Now that the Fouratt approach to
the South Amboy end of the Raritan
river bridge has been selected by the
Board of Freeholders, interest will
center upon the action of the trolley
people, who have been remaining in
the background lately until the Ioca-
tion of the bridge was fixed. Even in
the argument brought up at the meet
ing of the Freeholders yesterday the
trolley came in for knock.
Freeholder Allgair claimed that the
Wolff approach in his Judgment, would
be the best and cheapest and that the
approach was clean and clear, no
trolley company having string to it.
Former Solicitor DAILY, upon the re-
quest of Solicitor Willis, gave the
true comparison between the two
approaches, at the conclusion of whiC h
the board had practically made up its
mind which was best. Their conclu-
sions have settled the whole affair
and the bridge contractor can now
push the work on without any further
interference. Meantime the trolley
people will doubtless soon be strQg-
Cling for supremacy in obtaining the
right in South Amboy, if one has not
already done so, and afterward get
the franchise to cross the bridge.

THE COURTS PLEASURE.
Recorder PickersgllI told Woman her Re-
marks We're not Necessary.

The two Kaczmarck boys, accused
by Mrs. Berger, neighbor, of con-
tinually annoying her, were arraigned
before Recorder Pickersgill again this
morning. The mother of the Kacz-
marck boys was also in court with
Captain James Parker as her counsel.
Several times during the hearing
she made attempts to speak but the
court declined to listen as long as she
had counsel and added that it was a
pleasure to conduct the proceedings
without her help. The court was sat
isfied that Mrs. Berger had good. cause
for complaint, but as she could prove
nothing upon which to hold the boys,
they were discharged.

Water Committee Heard TeSti-
mORy of Chief Coming at In
VestigatiOn Last Night.
EXTEND WATER MAIN.
One of those Present Last Night said the
Aldermen viii Bring the New Pipe to
this Side of RiVer-May soon begin
Construction of new Res rvOir-AIder-
man Campbell Asked Questions.

Fire Chief w. G.. Comings was
practically the only man to testify be-
fore the Water Committee last night
in their attempt to get aU the facts of
the cause of low water pressure at the
Smith homestead fire Sunday morning.
The mayor was present and took some
notes while Chief Oomings testified.
Chief Comings stated that when four
streams were turned on at first there
was not enough pressure to force the
water out of the nozzels, but when
he ordered two Of the streams shut
off they managed to get faint stream
out of the other two. Gradually, he
said, the pressure increased, but at
no time was it anything like it ought
to be.
Alderman Campbell then asked
Water superintendent Burns about the
condition of the pumps at both the
Runyon and Eagleswood station, and
after Mr.. Burns explained, it was de-
cided to adjourn the session until
Friday night when the two engineers
who were in charge of the pumps at
that time, will be asked to testify.
One of the aldermen told a News
reporter this morning that he was
satisfied that the whole trouble Sun
day morning lay in the fact that one
of the pumps was undergoing some
much needed repairs and the fire Just
happened when this was being done.
1t was also learned that the Board
of Aldermen have under consideration
a resolution which may be introduced
at their next meeting Monday night
to have the 24-inch main, which is
about to be laid, extended to this side
of the river. 1t is pointed out by do
ing this that the pressure will surely
be increased to the point desired. 1t
is also said the Board have under SER
ious consideration of soon commenc-
ing the construction of two big
reservoirs on Arnold S Hill which they
purchased some tins ago for that pur-
pose. The reservoirs are to hold ten
days supply each.

other, but Pascal got Hansen to his

Dane and was slowly putting him to

move and got body hold on the
Prussian and had him to the mat be-

with him, thus fooling Pascal at his
own game. The time was % minutes

After five minutes rest the wrestlers

body hold. The local man was slow

the mat when the Prussian made a
grab for Hansen's leg and held fast.
The referee ordered Pascal to break
his hold telling him that this was not

1t was necessary for the referee to
warn the Prussian four times in the
second bout regarding the leg hold.
Finally Hansen got a half nelson
on Pascal but this the Prussian quick

Hansen, laid him out, the time being
15 minutes.
