Negotiations With Mrs.
Fouratt for Right Of
Way Closed
Yesterday.
The REASON.
Commissioner COnvery Says
Board Of Chosen Fountains
Hold. Streets Too Sacred for
Work to be Done There.

Negotiations were, yesterday, con-
cluded by which the Board of Water
Commissioners secured from Mrs.
Fouratt, tho extensivo.property owner
on the south side of the river, new
right of way for tho section of tho
new twenty -four inch water main, Of
about a half mile long, between
Stevens avenue, Sayreville, and the
south shole of the river. This elimi-
mates the Bridge street proposition
entirely, and the dreams of 2,500,
indulged in hy Contractor "Jim"
Fountain, brother of AS bury Foun-
tain, must go MP i'll empty air.
The naw right of way will take the
main along Laurel tieet, parallel to,
aud between 200 and 800 feet west of,
Btidgo street, which leads to the now
b. iige.
This will enable tile commissioners
t. run tho water through the twenty
four-inoh pfpes the entire distance,
and to. disregard tito decision reached
at one of their recent meetings to use
the old sixteen-inch main for short
Il staonoe, which would have lessened
the flow nearly one-haif.
The consent of the Sayreville Town
ship officials must vet be secured but
no difficulty is anticipated in that
direction.
The upper section of Laurel street
ia improved, and there the townships
permission is needed, but the lower
end is simply meadowland. Work
will now be hurried, and, with the
squirt made by Contractor Grouse
with one hundred extra workmen last
Sunday, the entire main should be
ready for use befors spring The Sec
tion of the new pipe along the shore,
from Bridge street to Laurel street,
will be torn up.
Mr.. Fouratt acted very reasonably
in the negotiations with the commits
sioners
In speaking of the change Of route,
President. Oonvery, of the Water
Board, said it was mistake to have
considered Bridge street at all.
1--WE thought We were part of
Mitldlesex county continued Mr..
Oonvery, "but since we find we are
not in the county, and therefore can
not expect any consideration from the
Board of Chosen Fouptains, we real
ize our mistake in even asking any
favors from them Mt all. Bridge street
is too scared, anyhow, SO we have
secured permission to go another wny
and the Board Of Chosen Fountains
can keep their street and all that goes
with it,

dav by strike of butchers called

every union man connected with pack

live stock handlers also struck. The

The new strike order had no effect at

In Omaha the strike order also fell

object in extending the strike is to

pressure to bear on the hackers.
