TRUNK SEWER DELAY KEEP PLUNGE BATHS
SANITARY PRECAUTIONS TO
BE TAKEN.
All Who Use Tanks Must First Undergo
Good scrubbing-$7, 500 for
Improvements.

After inspecting the three public bath
houses in the city last Monday. the Street
and Water Commissioner took the matter
up in the finance committee meeting OF
the board yesterday and decided that it
would be impractlcable to Vbandon the
plunge baths. and the matter was left 70
City Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd to make
the necessary changes to insure sanitary
conditions.
1t is estimated that $500 of the s12,5 500
bathhouse appropriation of this year will
be necessary to make the improvements
the city engineer contemplates. All of
the tanks win ave a streame OF water
running into them continually, and, In adj
dition, will be emptied every day and
cleaned. thereby insuring clean and un-
polluted water all the time.
The city engineer has solved the shower
bath problem by arranging to have per-
forated pipes run in all directions along
the ceiling, so that the bathers can stand
on any portion Of the floor and have a
shower"
Hereafter bathers will be required to AXE
a shower bath and a scrub with soap and
brush before they are allowed to enter the
tanks, and a vigllant watch will be kept to
see that no one with eve. ear and skingdis-
ease is allowed to enter the water.
A sterilizing system for towels and bath.
ing suits will be put in the houses, and
board ceilings with skylights will take the
place of the present gloomy peaked roofs
i%nsuring air, light and sunshine.
1t will cost approximately $500 for Sum-
mer avenue. $1,000 at Morris avenue and
$1,000 AT the Walnut street house to install
all the improvements planned by the City
Engineer. a total of 1880. leaving a bal
ance Of 5000 to maintain the houses and
pay the employees.

JUDGE CHILD DEFENDS PAS
SAlC VALLEY COMMISSION.
Says That the Law as It Stands Is Not
What Was Wanted-No Money
Available for Work.

The Passaic Valley District Sewerage
Commission, of which former Judge FRAN
els Child is chairman, is FESTIVE under the
criticism that 1t is not busy pushing the
big trunk sewer along the Passaic River
or taking the preliminary steps for that
work.
THE position OF the commission said
Judge Child today. SIS and has been. for
n wear or more. most humiliating TO the
State of New Jersey. Members of the
board have been forced to pay out Of heir
own pockets the office rent and incidental
expenses. The position is an undigniied
one and without precedent in this or any
other State.
THE law under which we now are oper-
ating is not the law we sought" he said
further. TT is the best we eonld get. IL
does not provide us with money. 1t only
permits us to receive money and use 1t for
the purposes Of preliminary work when
the twenty-one municipalities comprised
within the district shall voluntarily con-
tribute to the expenses. No provision is
made as to the amount such municipalities
shall nav. We have, therefore. a situation
which requires US to go about as mendi-
cants to the governing bodies of these
towns or to patiently await the arrival of
their contributions.
1T is true rnat Newark, belleVlile anu
Passaic have put up checks a~ggregating
SIS, O00," remarked the Judge. But our
board has agreed that not one penny shall
be expended until our minimum estimate
of the cost of the work is in hand. That
minimum is S25. GOO. The checks from the
three municipalities named is held by the
board, subject to the receipt of the mini
mum amount mentioned. Until we receive
our $4,000 these checks will remain in
safe keeping, but ~undeposited to the ac-
count of the board. If we do not receive
the $25, 600 the three checks will be re.
turned to the cities sending them"
Judge Child said the difficult money con
dition was perhaps responsible for thu
failure of certain of the towns affected t.
send in their checks.
It has been suggested also that some o.
the municipalities are unable to contribute
because of their having already reached th'
limit of their borrowing capacity. A plai
whereby two or three towns may groul
themselves into a unit for the purpose o.
contributing to the preliminary expenses
has been mooted, but up to the present nj
town or municipality in the district ha.
taken the initiative to create such a group

city sewer is located about 300 yards away

stitution drew much of its water.
Tests made by the sewerage commission
as reported TO the managers showed that
large quantities of sewage flowed out
through a break in the sewer, and, per-
colating through the ground, found it's way
into the asylum spring.
At the same time the managers received
the following report from its medical COM
mittee. giving The status Of the typhoid

WILL RECRUIT
SOLDIERS OF
FORTUNE
Poe, Once Princeton Football
Hero, Mixing in Coming
Central American War.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 16.-A cable
received here from San Salvador
says that Captain John H. Poe, who
was at one time well known as a
Princeton football player and pAnnap-
oils coach, n who recently has. been
fighting in the Honduran army, has
left Salvador on the steamer San Juan
for a Francisco, where he purposes
to recruit a foreign legion to take
part in the expected war between the
Central American States.
Poe held the rank of captain with
the Hondurans. He, was in the artil-
lery branch. He was recently detained
at Managua by President Zelaya, of
Nicaragua, on the charge of being a
spy.
The best sources of information in
Mexico City unite in declaring that
trouble In Central America is certain.
Guatemala and Salvador will be ar
rayed against Honduras and Near
aqua. President Figueroa of Salvador
and President Cabrera of Guatemala
have agreed hat peace is impossible
so long as zelaya remains president OF
Nicaragua. They will attack him as
soon as the rainy season comes to an
end.
President Figueroa has cancelled an
order sent to England for three gun
boats because they cannot reach him
in time to be of service in the war.
He is sending an agent to San Fran
cisco to purchase steamers an mount
guns on them.
Captain Eysler, who was at one time
an ensign in the American navy, and
who is now first officer of the steamer
Para, trading on the Pacific coast, is
to be offered the command of the Sal
vadorean navy.
General Lee Christmas, formerly of
Memphis, Tenn, who is now in COM
mand of the S~alvadorean army, ac-
companies Captain Poe as far as
Guatemala. There he will attend to
the reorganization of the foreign
LEGION which is to be composed of
Beers, Englishmen and Americans and
deserters from tho army and navy.
1t is declared here Thai foreign in
tervention is the only thing that can
prevent the threatened Conflict.
Agents of each of the four countries
concerned are now in Costa Rica en-
deavoring each one to influence that
country in his favor. 1t is reported,
however, that the Costa Rican Govern
ment is maintaining it's neutrality with
firmness.
