TO BUY JERSEY WATER
Staten Island Contract Is Made
City May Get Local Plants.

The Board Of Estimate yesterday approved a ten
year contract for wate- for Staten Island to be
supplied by the Hudson County Water Company
Of New-Jersey. The contract had been delayed
more than two years, and only last week the
Governor Of New-Jersey signed a bill forbidding
the sale of New-Jersey water to any city In an
other State. Alderman Sullivan argued that to ap-
prove the contract would involve the city in tiga-
ton with the New-Jersey authorities. The Mayor
declared that the contracting company not the
city OF New-YOrk would have to conduct the liti-
cation. The city had been advised. he said that
the law in question is unconstitutional. and that
the local companies which stirred up the trouble
had earned Tebuke.
Borough President Ahearn of Manhattan offered
a resolution that the Mayor appoint a committee
five to Investigate the valuation of the existing
water companies on Staten Island and the sources
of water supply available through them. and re-
port as to the ACCESSIBILITY of purchasing them
The Mayor asked If compensation was conten-
plated TO the water companies, and Mr. Ahearn
said il was The resolution was adopted unani-
rnously and the Mayor said he would name the
commission later Mr.. Ahearn said that as the
city was about to spend about 100000 on water
in Staten Island, It might well spend about
$1,000 900 more and get a complete municipal plant
