Dollars.
COOPERATION C0UNSEL'S OPIEI"N
Mayor Fagan Sends It to the
S, & w. Board With
Resolutions Which
Will Probably Be
Adopted.
COOPERATION COUNsEL'S OPIEI.N

Mayor Fagan this morning transmitted
to the Street and Water Board an opin-
ion by Corporation Counsel affecting the
pending litigation involving the right or
ability of Jersey City to carry out its con-
tracts with the towns of Harrison and
Kearny and the Borough of East New
ark
After reciting history of the city's
water contracts with Harrison and Kear-
ny and causes which led up to the pres
ent litigation, the Corporation Counsel
advises as follows
Il therefore recommend that the city
pay no more money to the East Jersey
Water Company on account of water sup
piled until this litigation shall be settled
and the consequent damage to Jersey
City ascertained. If the contention of
Jersey City in the Harrison litigation
shall be overthrown by reason of the ac-
tion of the East Jersey Water Company
in refusing to deliver to Jersey City into
this Kearny avenue main, / recommend
that Jersey City's claim for damages,
which will amount to many hundred
thousand dollars, be offset against the
claim of the water company for water
supplied under the said temporary con-
tract, and that no payments be made to
the said company until such claim shall
be litigated and settled"
With the Corporation Counsels opin-
ion was enclosed form of resolution,
the adoption of which by the Board was
suggested. 1t was said at noon today
that the resolutions would in all probable
ity be adopted by the Board. With the
preambles it reads as follows
Whereas, In 1895 Jersey City made a
contract with the East Jersey Water
Company for a supply of water for Jer-
sey, and IN the actual delivery of water
under such contract the said East Jersey
Water Company from the spring of 1896
until July, 1908, made delivery of the
larger part thereof into the mains of Jer-
sey City in Belleville Turnpike running
across the meadows to Jersey City.
which delivery was for the needs and
purposes of the Inhabitants of Jersey
City; and made another delivery by a
separate connection with the main of the
said water company and the 20-inch main
in KeaFny avenue belonging to Jersey
City of the water to be delivered by Jer-
sey City through said main to the towns
of Harrison and Kearny and the BUr-
ough of East Newark; and
Whereas, On or about July, 1908,
the East Jersey Water Company
served notice upon Jersey City that it
had discontinued the supply of water. at
