NO RELIEF FOR
THE HOSPITAL.
Every Available Space Being
Converted Into Places
TO Put Cots.

From the present outlook there is little
chance of relief in the crowded condi-
tions at the City Hospital. The number
of patients has increased until now the
parlor or reception room, near the en-
trance to the building, has been brought
into use, for the accommodation of
patients. The crowding now appears al
most certainly to be permanent, and not
simply the result of a temporary cpl
demic of accident, surgical and medical
cases.
Speaking this morning, DR.. J. @. Will
son, of the medical staff. said that 1t has
been found that the use of the nurses
rooms on the upper floor, for the accom-
mediation of patients, would be hardly
practicable, in view of the fact that these
rooms have not the proper heating and
water-supplving facilities for that pur-
pose. This appears to eliminate the
possibility of relieving the congestion at
the institution by renting rooms in a
nearby house, to accommodate the nurses.
that their rooms might be used for hos
pital purposes. Another wing is what
is needed said DIR. Wilson, Ito enable
us to accord proper treatment to the
patients -

CONNECT THE
WATER MAINS.
Water Board Plans to Have New
"a Inch Main Put in
Use.

The Water Board, last night, de-
vised plan for getting more water
to Perth Amboy even ii the contract
ors on Bridge street, on the south
shore, refuse to allow them to lay the
water main there and the freeholders
refuse to take any action. The new
scheme is to use the sixteen inch pipe
for a shcrt distance, running the
twenty -four-inch main into it and then
where the pipe goes under the river
to have a gate so that the new main
under the river will relieve the severe
pressure on the sixteen-inch pipe and
have two main coming to this city.
Tho sixteen inch pipe is to te put
under this greatly increased pressure
only to get past the Bridge street
holdup. This arrangement means that
section of tie new twenty -four-inch
main on the south shore, leading mp
to bridge street from the river will be
useless for the time being.
Engineer Mason reported that the
test we'll at Runyon was completed
and today President ConveIy and the
engineer are at Runyon inspecting
the operation,
George R. Bunton, of North First
treet, asked to have the water main in
North First street so that he oould
get city water into his three houses
near William street. The matter was
re ferred to Superintendent Burns.
Permission was given The board by
j. q. Mccoy to 10y an eight-ilch
water main through his property, so
thai it could reach tho plant of the
ChesebrouRh Vaseline Works. Supei
in endent Burns was ordered to look
into the matter.
A petition from q number of resi-
dents Of Fox Hill road; near Morris
street, asked for the extention Of the
water main SO that they could get
tcity water. superintendent Burns
was ordered to look into the matter
and report at the next meeting.
The superintendent was instru cted
to make an inventory of all the tools
and other property of the Water De-
partment. A record will be kept of
them.
Adam Eckert, the clerk of the hoard,
was instructed to buy safe for the
use of the board.
Report was made by superintendent
Burns tn at many of the liydrants were
ont of order. He blamed the drivers
of tine sprinkling cart. Orders were
given to have them put i'll repair at

Philadelphia, Pa. Aug. 3.-Successful
experiments in the manufacture of cop
per blanks from which cents are
stamped at the United States mint in
this city will render unnecessary the
reduction i'm the force which it was ex-
l.ected would go into effect there i'm
September. With this innovation. the
mint will have sufficient work to EN-
ploy all of it's 600 workers. with the eX-
ception of Sc women, throughout the
year. Heretofore the government has
bought its supply of blanks from priv
ate concerns.
The mint here is the only one in the
United States which makes cents and
nickels. and there will be record
breaking production Of those coins from
September to December. The mint will
devote itself exclusively to this coinage
and as a result. So, .OOO,0 900 will be turn
ed out each month. This has been 4
