At the meeting of the water board
held last night in the council cham
Der, Commissioner George j. Haney
again proved that ne was going 10 be
an active member Of the board by
asking q number OF questions, in
quiring into the details and insisting
thar certain bills which were put in
should be made out. so that it could
be seen just what they were needed
for
1t seems that when the superin-
tendent of the water department
needs supplies he makes application
to the commissioners for the same.
They look over the list and then tell
him to go ahead and get them.
Among the things purchased by the
superintendent since the last meet
ing of the board was a feather dust
er, some soap and other articles.
Duster Puzzled Them.
Commissioner Haney could readily
see what the soap was needed for.
but when 1t came down to a duster he
was puzzled. He asked the superin-
tendent what il was used for and the
superintendent seemed to be rather
puzzled himself. One of the commits
sioners thought that it might be to
clean ont the furnaces, while another
suggested that it was TO brush the
walls with. President Conyery said
said it might be that the engineer was
going to Use the duster to clean up
after he had shaken his fires for the
president said that he knew that
when he was over that way and the
fires We're shaken down he was COW
cred with dust in no time and would
have felt mighty thankful 10 have
had duster handy. Engineer Ma
son thought that the duster was TO
brush up the furniture in the Office.
The result of the whole affair was
that Commissioner Haney suggested
that the list of supplies be turned
over to the superintendent to be item
ized before it was paid The motion
was carried and il is expected that
the superintendent will hand in de-
tailed report at the next meeting.
Bids for Pipe.
At $50 O'Clock President Convery
announced that bids for the pipe to
be put in for the ground storage well
system would be received. Only one
bid was handed in 1t was from John
Quinlan. of South Amboy, and was
as follows: For 6O0 feet of 30-ineh
pipe, with lead, labor and material,

the largest for a Monday this month; in
fact, the largest of any Monday since

largely of beef steers, there being only
moderate sprinkling of COW stun and
