p TESTIMONY.

According to reports, the water
commissioners, who were going to
pay Asbury Fountain $500 an acre
for swamp land at Runyon, are try
ing to get experts to testify that the
land in question is really needed by
the city,
1t is said that at least M expert,
who has been to Runyon and exam
ined the land, has refused to say that
the land is absolutely necessary.
But let us accept the argument
that It is necessary, why does the
board agree to pay $500 an acre for
it without making any attempt to
condemn it? No commission appoint
ed to fix the value on the land would
ever say $500 an acre, when the aver
age price paid by the city heretofore
was but $22 per acre.
While there is a question whether
the land Is really needed or not, there
is little doubt but that by condemn
ing the land it could be secured more
cheaply than by such a deal as was
about to be made with Asbury Foun-
tain, then, why, if the land is really
needed was it not secured by con
demnation proceedings?
