A BILL introduced in the Senate by
Senator nillery, providing for the es-
tablishment of State Water Supply
Commission, has merits that commend
it in a number of ways. 1t is pre-
dicted, for instance, that with the
present rate of increase in population
in this section of the State, all the
potable water of the Passaic water
shed will be inadequate, if the ratio OF
consumption is kept with thirty
five or forty years. Hence there is
necessity for some measure to conserve
the water supply and prevent waste
or diversion. One feature of the bill,
however, is peculiar. Section eight
provides that Every municipality,
water company or private person now
diverting the waters of streams or
lakes with outlets for the purpose OF a
public water-suppy shall make annual
payments to the State Treasurer for
all such water hereafter diverted in
excess of the amount now being di-
Yerted. And every municipality, wa
ter company or private person not at
present diverting surface waters for
said purpose, but who shall hereafter
divert such waters, shall make annual
payments to the State Treasurer for
all waters diverted in excess of one
hundred 900 gallons daily for each in
habiUant of said municipality, as
shown by the census of one thousand
nine hundred and five. The amount
of such payments shall be fixed by
said commission at rate of not less
than one ($l00) dollar or more than
twenty $4,000 dollars per million gal
Ions. 1t will be observed that the
ProprietOrs of the Morris Aqueduct,
for instance, will be compelled to pay
tax on all water consumed in excess
of the present amount, without regard
to the per capita consumption, while
if new company was organized it
would have to pay the tax only in case
the consumption is more than 100 gal
Ions daily. This amount is very high,
and but few cities in the country APP
proach to it, In Morristown the con-
sumption is less than sixty gallons per
capita per day, and if the bill becomes
law in it's present form it would be
unjust to the old companies, and would
act as a restraint upon their increasing
facilities as the municipalities in
which they are located should grow,
The bill should be amended in this re-
spect at least.

O'Leary Threw His Men.

Butte Register: There was quite a
crowd at the opera house to witness
the wrestling match between Jack o.
Leary, welterweight champion of the
northwest, and Bobby Ford, August
Luth and Charley Currey, all three of
whom he threw within an hour, hav-
ing some time to spare. Currey was
first and stayed four minutes, Aug.
Luth then tackled him and stayed nine
minutes, Bobby Ford came third and
gave him quite tussle, staying eleven
minutes, and then it was question in
the minds of some whether he was
quite down or not. OLeary is not a
heavy man, his weight being but 14O
pounds, but he is very active and thor
oughly understands the game.
Saturday evening OLeary threw big
Adolph Janouchek at Gregory in two
straight falls.

ternoon, says that reports of small
poX at Wakefield are very much exag-
gerated. The town had exactly four
cases of the disease but one of them
was released from quarantine and had
tcket out of town when he left

pearance this week, but as a matter
OF precaution the schools, churches
