Superintendent Burns Was In
structed to Buy All the Coal
b. He Could Secure.
MAINS IN SOUTH AMBOY
Cost of Lowering the Pipes to be
Charged Up to Michael
Welsh.

That the water board has fears of a
prolonged coal strike was evident at
the meeting last night when a motion
was passed instructing Superintend-
ent Burns to purchase all the coal he
could secure.
The board received a letter from a
railroad man saying that at the pres
ent time between six and eight car
loads of soft coal were in South Am
boy on a side track and that up to
last night they had not been seized
by the railroad or bought by any
one and that if the water board acted
at once it could get them. A motion
to buy this coal was passed.
The board talked over the coal sit
uaton to some length and both Pres
ident Convery and Commissioner
Haney, who are local coal dealers,
seem TO think that the strike would
be of long duration and that it would
be good idea for the board to get
all of the coal that it possibly could
so that when they could get no more,
if such a time arrived, they would
they have at Runyon.
The board ordered warrants for the
following: Worthington Company,
$50; John Quinlan, of South Am
boy, $S76; City pay roll, $2,425; and
Chris. Deidrickson, $500. The ordi-
nance for the 100000 bond issue for
water works Improvements was pass
ed on its third and final reading.
Engineer Samuel Mason had some
water from the new ground storage
well system at Runyon which he had
placed in a bottle year ago. 1t was
exhibited last night and was as pure
as crystal The water may be sent to
the state laboratory for test. En-
gineer Mason said that when the new
ground storage system was in work
ing order this was the kind of water
that would be sent through the
mains.
Some time ago the water board
had the sixteen and twenty-four inch
water mains in South Amboy lower
ed at cost of $610.70. 1t was de-
cided to send a bill for that amount to
Michael Welsh.
Engineer Samuel Mason was order
ed to stake out the newly purchased
property of the board, also to find out
just how much land the board owned
at the present time.
William Voorhees, was appointed
as a committee of one to act with the
city treasurer in regards TO the sale
of the proposed water bonds.

the corner of Water and Smith
streets. Mr. Garretson said that Mr..
Garretson has no objection to the
"Y" and the consequent extension up

ed and maintained in good condition
