WATER TO Be
TURNED ON
Vice Chancellor Fitney Re-
fuses the Order Of Re-
straint for Which
Record Asked.
COMPANY ACTED IN GOOD FAITH
Il There Are Defects in the
Tunnel the City Can
Claim Compensation.
COMPANY ACTED IN GOOD FAITH

The application made by Corporation
Counsel George L. Record for an order
restraining the Jersey City Water Sup
ply Company from turning on or deIiv-
ering water from its reservoir until the
contract has been completed according to
specification was yesterday refused by
Vice Chancellor Piney. The new plant
is about completed and the company will
soon be prepared to turn on the water.
In his bill of complaint Corporation
Counsel Record said that in bringing the
water from the reservoir near Boenton
into this city conduists were constructed,
part of which consist of tunnel exca-
waited through Watching Mountain for
a distance of 5000 feet. The specifca-
tions provided that the tunnel should be
brick lined Mr.. Record contended that
under the contract it was the duty of the
water company TO construct the tunnel
so that the bottom should be lined with
brick or levelled up and smoothed with
cement concrete, but that instead of this
the uneven surface Of the bottom had
been flied with loose gravel and stone
Civil Engineer Rdlow Harrison and
Chief Engineer Sherrard, of the New
York Water Company, on behalf of the
Jersey City Water Supply Company sub
mitted affidavits in which they declared
that cement bottom would not hold
that gravel bottom was the only solu-
ton Of the problem
A number of springs which furnish
milliOas-ef gallons of water, it was urged
makes it impossible for cement floor
ing to harden.
Vice-Chancellor said that while the
company had not lined up to its contract
in regard to the flooring of the tunnel he
believed that the water company had
acted in good faith. He said he believed
a gravel bottom to be superior to a ce-
ment bottom, especially in tunnel
where there are so many springs. To
lay cement bottom was not practical,
he thought and to ask that it be done
was unreasonable. The vice-chancellor
suggested that after taking over the
water plant the city might claim COM
pensation for any defects in the tunnel.
He refused to RESTRAIN the company frem
turning on the water The Water Sup
ply Company was represented by For
mer State Senator William D. Edwards.

The Jersey City team lost yesterday
to Rochester. Mccain, who was in the
box for the ..Skeeters," was in the very
of form, but he was poorly supported.
Bean lost his temper. In rage, he
threw the ball at McCann, who promptly
returned it, and Bean got it in the neck,
so to speak. The Jerseymen hit Fertsch
hard. Kane succeeded him in the fifth
inning and kept the visitors down to one
hit for the rest of the game.
