Commissioner Jensen Declared
the Water Board Should not
Ask For all the City's
Money.
ENGINE AT RUNyON.
Bids to be Received Latter Part of
the Month for Repairs and
Changes at RunyOn.

AT the meeting of the Water Board,
last night, the engineer, Samuel
Mason. was authorized to draw plans
and get an estimate on the cost of
building Il two-basin reservoir on the
property owned by the city near Kin
sev's Corner. The basins are to con-
tain forty million gallons, sufficient
for ten days supply for the city.
The resolution was opposed by
Commissioner Jensen, who declared
he did not think the city needed a
reservoir at present and said the board
should not try to get all the money
from the city and run it in debt.
A discussion followed which showed
that Mr.. Jensen stood alone in his
arguments. 1t was pointed out that
the city was growing so rapidly that
--i1-Meuld be but a short time before
the present pumping system would be
unable to supply the demand.
The recent break in the main was
referred to and used to show the great
need of a storage reservoir.
DOUBTS THE EXPERT.
1t was further explained to Mr.. Jen-
sen that Mr.. Kichling, an expert, had
recommended the building of reser-
voir. Mr.. Jensen said that Mr.. Kich-
ling had been brought here for the
purpose OF reporting favorably. 1t
was understood that he was to recon-
mend reservoir when he started, de-
clared the commissioner.
Mr.. Jensen said he did not believe
the Water Board or any other body
should look ten years or more ahead
as. he said, they could not tell what
would be needed then.
The matter was finally put to vote
and Mr.. Jensen was the only one op-
posed.
1t is the intention of the board to
start active work on the reservoir
matter.
IMPROVE MILL PROPERTY.
. 1t was decided 10 advertise iol DIGS
to improve the old Mill property.
They will be opened Wednesday night,
May II. Bids will be advertised for
an eight million gallon pumping en-
CINE to be erected at Runyon. This
is to be both vertical and horizontal.
The bids, accompanied by a certified
check for Fl, 900, are to be in by May
"A.
At the suggestion of Commissioner
Clark the board decided to have map
and twelve blue prints of the present
water system made, also five copies OF
the report of Kichling. The cost will
be about 800.
\ number of bills were ordered
paid.

conviction OF horse thieves operating
within its limits, if the freeholders
can fiud an authorization by state law
for putting such an appropriation for
such a purpose in the new budget.
Two township societies have asked
for such Il reward being offered and
it is more than probable that the
freeholders will meet their request
favorably.
During the meeting yesterday after
noon Director Fountain read Il, letter
from the Franklin Park Aid and De-
tective Society, signed by its presi-
dent, George Phillips, and its secre-
tary, Garret L. Hagaman, asking

lance Society, to which two hundred

Mr.. Jackson moved that the finance
committe be empowered to include III
the next budget the sum of $500 to be
given for the arrest and conviction Of

the opinion that there is no law auth
orizing the county offering such a re-
ward and the matter will be carefully
considered at the meeting of the fin
ance committee on Monday.

ORDINANCE NOT CLEAR,
a copy of the ordinance introduced
at the meeting of the council Of Perth
Amboy, Monday night. for grading
Sheridan street, which is to lead to
the approach to the Amboy bridge, was
read at the meeting, and its perusal
did not make clear to the freeholders
just what Perth Amboy means the
length OF the approach to the bridge,
that it will build, shall be. The or
dinance directs that Sheridan street
shall be graded from Market street to
the trestle work bridge that is to be
built over the Raritan North Shore
railroad. which is to connect with the
trestle work bridge that >is to meet
the Amboy bridge the freeholders are
to build. This ordinance does not
show the length of the approach to be
built by Amboy, although. the free
holders have already agreed to build
three hundred feet of the approach.
MI. Kroeger, OF Perth Amboy,
moved that the county engineer go to
Perth Amboy and meet the engineer
of the city and that they fix definitely
where the city approach will end and

Princesses Who Receive
Compassion From All

LONDON, July 15.-Many people who
have met those three young and charm
ing princesses, Ena of Sattenberg, Pa
trfcia of Connaught, and Beatrice OF
Saxe-Coburg, at private functions feel
great compassion for these royal girls
by reason of the fact that they have
been thrown with young people alto
gether out of the court set more than
any other royalties.
1t is only natural that they should.
therefore, form romantic attachments
which can never come to anything.
Princess Henry of BattenberS has this
season allowed her daughter to accept
all invitations offered her, and the other
two princesses have been to innumer-
able dances anG einner parties. where
hundreds of blushing young men have
