Water Board Saw
Map Of Tract
at RunyOn.
MEET JULY 3.
Committees will Then be in
Session and the Matter Will
Probably be Taken Up at That
Time Talk After Meeting
Regarding the Purchase.

A map of the Fountain tract at
Runyon, for which the city is pay
ing $15,500, was submitted to the
water board last night by Engineer
S. j. Mason The sketch shows, ac-
cording to a survey tract contain
ing 30 5 acres, which Mr.. Mason says
is accurate. The board did not make
any statement about the land in
question, but viewed the sketch in
silence The Fountain tract was not
discussed, although no citizens were
present to hear what was said. The
commissioners will meet again July
as a committee and it is expected that
the matter will then be taken up.
Last night the public street en-
trance to the council chamber where
the meeting was held, was locked,
although by going through the city
offices the chamber could be reached.
After the meeting, last night, a
few of the board discussed the new
tract to be purchased and the ad-
vantages. The Fountain tract is a
triangular piece of land and is bound
ed on two sides by land now owned
by the city and by land owned by a
man named Bennett, and by Ten
nant's Creek. 1t was stated that 1T is
absolutely necessary to own this land
to complete the ground storage sys-
TEN, which, when complete, will en-
able the board to pump 100000
gallons day. At present only s.
100000 is pumped daily, which
comes from artesian wells With the
storage system complete, these wells
would not have to be. used all the
time, but with them and the new area
combined, supply of water could
be secured that would be unlimited
The supply for this city is suffi-
cient at present, but if extension to
Roosevelt or other places is made, as
is contemplated, some changes will
have to be made, according to the
commissioners.
The communication relative to sup
plying the borough of Roosevelt with
water, which was referred to the en-
gineer and the city attorney at the
last meeting, was spoken of in a gen
eral way. The opinion of the attor-
ney is that water mains can be laid
four miles past the city limits, with
the consent of the townships neces-
sary to be crossed. Roosevelt is only
three and one-half miles from this
city.
Bide were received from the Perth
Amboy Foundry and Machine COM
pany and Schantz & Eckert for re-
tubing boiler No. at Runyon. The
former bid was $675, and the latter
$498. so, to whom the contract was
awarded.
A warrant was ordered for $1,S00
to pay Joseph V. Davidson for lot
5Ox1OO, and house on the same. This
house adjoins two now owned by the
city. The president was authorized
to settle the matter with Mr.. David
son.
A letter was read from the Climax
Construction Company, authorizing
the board to complete the thirty-five
foot we'll being formerly constructed

The sardiniana.

Sardinia was wild place in the mid
die of the last century. A traveller
says: 1.-The men are clothed in goat
skins, one before and another behind,
without breeches, shoes or stockings,
and a wooden or skin cap on the head.
The women have no other habiliments
than a long wooden gown and a wooden
cap. The peasants always 60 armed
to defend themselves from one another,
so that travelling in the interior is ex-
tremely unsafe without an escort, and
it is even dangerous for ships to send
their people on shore for water unless
they are well armed. In short, the
Sardes are the Malays of the Mediter-
ranean."
