New York Board Of Estimate to
Defy Resent Act of New
Jersey Legislature.
FOR MUNICIPAL PL ANTS.
Mayor Nc CIeIIan has Named
Five Engineers to See About
RichmOnd's Own Supply.

The Board of Estimate authorized
yesterday an appropriation Of 81, 800, :
600 for providing Richmond with a
water distributing plant. This plant
is to serve to the borough the water
which the city has decided to pur-
chase from the Hudson County Water
Company of New Jersey.
The contract has been made despite
the fact that the New Jersey legisla-
ture aJ its last session passed bill,
which was signed by the governor,
prohihi ting New Jersey water com.
panies from selling water to another
state. Counsel have advised the adj
ministration of New York and the Hud-
son County Water Company that the
bill is unconstitutional.
Should the Board of Aldermen re-
fuse to concur in the contract and APP
preparation it is said that some very
interesting news will develop. Mayor
Mcclellan announced the appointment
of commission of five engineers to
examine the properties of the Staten
Island water companies with view
to their purchase by the city.

Stringers Are Being Placed in the
Structure to Make Ii Safe
for All Traffic When
Completed.
PRESENTS BUSY SCENE.
Owing to ihe Activities There
Vehicles Now Find II Difficult
to Cross Will All be Over
in a Day or Two.

The Woodbridge creek bridge is just
now the center of the utmost activity
in the Hereuleanae effort being made to
get the trolley line in order to run
cars across the bridge by Tuesday. A
force of more than one hundred men
is at work.
The new steel stringers are in place
and ole raiisof track is laid across
the bridge. The tracks approaching
the bridge on both sides have been
raised to the level of the bridge.
There is great deal Of supple
mcntary work, however, which re-
quires much time to complete, such
as the stringing of the feed wires and
the like. While the trolley officials
make no definite promises it is very
possible and easily probable that pas
sengers can go all the way through BY
Decoration Day.
Because of the changes at the
bridge, it has been in poor condition
for vehicle traffic for about two weeks.

More Delay Ahead for the City
of New York Taking Over the
Staten Island Ferry.
ANOTHER SUIT is ON.
Baltimore & Ohio Is Sued by
Stockholders of Staten Island
Rapid Transit.

In the United States Circuit Court,
yesterday, before Judge Lacombe, the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany application to bake the
pending lien on the Staten Island
Railroad cancelled. The application
was denied, and as result it may be
three years before the city cam take
title to the ferry property.
1t was explained that a suit had
been brought against the Baltimore
and Ohio by stockholders in the Stat
en- Island Rapid Transit Railroad
Company, and that the Baltimore pad
Ohio was trustee for majority OF
the Staten Island company for the
benefit of the plaintiffs in that suit,
Robert L. Redield and his associates.
This suit will have to await it's turn
on the calendar of court in Washing
ton, it was said, and will probably
be reached in about three years and
that, therefore, the present motion to
disturb the lien of the stockholders in
their suit against the Baltimore &
Ohio would have to be denied. One OF
the Baltimore & Ohio attorneys said
that title to the ferry properties would
not be accepted by the city until the
matter was disposed of. Justice La
combe replied that that made no
difference. II the supreme court does
not adjourn next Monday, as it had
been expected it would, some proceed
ing may be taken to expedite the
matter.

PROSPERITY
IN THIS CITY
MANIFESTED.
Contractors Approaching Every
Man on the Street Who Seems
to be Out of Work.
DEMAND FOR LABORERS.
Everybody is at Work at Good
Wages and There Is Plenty
of Room for More.
RUSH WORK IN FACTORIES.
Everywhere There Are Signs of
Activity Unusual Building
Boom Here at Present.
RUSH WORK IN FACTORIES.

That this city is enjoying an era of
prosperity is evident from the scare
ity of mechanics and laborers and the
great trouble the contractors and fac
tories have in securing men.
Because of the building boom all
laborers are at work and in most cases
they receive nearly as much money as
some of the first class mechanics in
the shops of this city.
In conversation with a NEWS re-
porter, this morning, a prominent
contractor said: We are certainly
having our trouble in getting laborers
and we are paying, them good wages
too, but all men seem to be working.
OF course you will see few men
hanging around the street corners,
but those fellows never work and you
simply can't talk it into them. -
Yesterday afternoon a foreman for
local contractor went about town
and every workman he could find, who
would accept job, he took him at
once.
In the factories The scarcity OF the
men is also felt for, as rule, they
pay less money than the contractors
and in many cases they have been
compelled to raise the wage scale to
keep their men.
