THE WAGGAMAN CASE
NO ACTION IN COURT TODAY AS
TO TRUSTEESHIP.
The Expected Schedule of Assets and
Liabilities Not Ready to Be Filed,
Attorneys Say.

No action was taken in the Equity Court
today in relation to the affairs of Thomas
L. Waggaman. A rule to show cause why
he should not be removed as trustee in q
pending equity suit was returnable today,
but although counsel on both sides were
present in court. the matter was not called
to Justice Anderson's attention.
1t is understood that satisfactory ar
rangement has been made in the case, and
that Mr.. Waggaman will probably. resign
his trusteeship of the funds in the case. and
counsel will agree on the appointment OF
Mr.. Irving Williamson to succeed him.
Counsel in the case of Gardiner against
Waggaman have not decided to take ad-
vantage of the suggestion made by JUS
tice Stafford that if they saw fit they nigh,
apply to Justice Anderson to appoint re-
ceiver for list No. l. of securities held
by Mr.. Waggaman.
1t is probable however. that such an APP
plicatiOn will be made within the next few
days.
Schedule of Assets Not Filed.
The schedule of assets and liabilities
which had been expected to be filed today
was not filed. as Mr.. Waggaman's attorney
declared that the clerks employed on the
work had not been able to complete the
task.
Some talk is being INDUCED in by mem
bers of the bar and others interested in
the Waggaman bankruptcy proceedings
as to the difficulty to be experienced in
naming a trustee to take charge of the
estate. should Justice Anderson declare
Mr.. Waggaman bankrupt on hearing
upon the rule in bankruptcy returnable
September g.
The necessity CT having a majority both
in numbers and amount of liabilities to con-
troll the nomination of trustee is a condi-
ton which confronts the persons interested
in settling the estate.
This difficulty of agreeing on a trustee
may. it is said. cause attorneys represent
ing the creditors to favor the appointment
of a receiver in equity, who would be
named by the court.

amount of the contract, which bond
does not expire until December !,

work is completed, Rue & Fountain

til the expiration of that bond, n
year hence. The city offered to put
up q bond of $40, 00O TO cover any
damage that might be done to the
road, although the pipe is to be laid
along the side so that the macadam
need not be disturbed. A majority of
the Board Of Freellolders present yes.
terday agreed to release the contrac-
tors from the clause which held them
responsible, provided the city put up
its $40, 600 bond, but the contractors
refused to Listen to anything OF tile
sort. What was the trouble? kThe
contractors snid they would let the
city lay the pipe if the city would pay
their firm So, 900. That was final. II
the city didn't choose to turn
the cash the 20, 600 people here could
wait u year for their additional water
supply so badly needed. What are you
going to do about it? Who do we find
backing the contractors? 1t is Judge
Brown, himself, the road supervisor
and lone of the family, They all
stand together, why certainly.
But the city is not going to pay this
So, 800 demanded in such a defiant
manner. It is going to fight the case,
but that will cost money and Q
much delay. All the time 1t is be-
fore the public. however, it is q con'
slant reminder of the present condi-
tion of our county government. Every
citizen will see to II, when lie goes to

HOLDING UP THE CITY.

Judging from the result of the con-
ference between the Water Commits
sioners and the Board of Freeholders,
hel1 ID South Amboy yesterday. the
Fountain family have decided that the
city of Perih Amboy must either fatten
their pockets with q present of So, 800
or else wait o year before the now
twenty four inch water main can be
completed. Tie instance clearly
shows tho powerful grip Asbury
Fountain has on the county under
the present system of government.
Until he is turned down good and
hard, and all his relatives and bench
men with him, tie public can expect
40 bow to his dictation. The only
III to turn him down is to vote to
abolish the Board of FreelIolders en-
tirely and substitute therefore a COM
mission.
just look ut the situation ms pre-
sented yesterday, ms merely q single
instance in the absolute Fountain rule.
There was Asbury Fountain, himself,
the director Of the Board Of FREQ
holders, tho self enthroned king" of
the county, as far as county improve
ments go Under his administration
his father in law, Judge Brown, holds
the offics of road supervisor. Next
we find James Fountain, q brother of
the "boss, - n member of the contract.
ing firm of Rue 81 Fountain, which is
generally at work on one or another
good county job oil the year round.
This is only one instance, brought
out yesterday, showing the manner
in which the taxpayers of the county
are feeding the Fountain family and
relatives connected Herewith. The
report OF the expert which was pub
lislied some time ago, shows more of
1t. How long, taxpayers, are you CO.
ing 10 submit to this?
What an outrageous condition of
affairs now presents itself to Perth
Amboy. Here are 20, 900 people crying
for relief in the water supply. Bonds
to the extent OF $155, 900 have been
issued to bring this relief. 1t
WAS said that there is plenty Of
water Mt Runyon, the only difficulty
was { o get il to Perth Amboy. To
eliminate that difficulty contracts
were awarded for the construction of
a twin twenty four inch main from
Runyon here more than doubling the
water supply for the city. The section
of this new main under the river is
about completed. The section On this
side of the river is we'll advanced and
will be done in q week or two. A
great deal of the pipe or the south
side of the river toward Runyon has
been finished. Only a short strip on
Bridge street on the south shore,
lending to the new bridge, remains
before the waiting thousands in this
city will get the relief they have been
longing for.
But here the difficulty arises. Bridge
street has just been macadamized.
