NEW ELECTION FOR
WEST HUDSON A. A.
Selection of officers of a Week Ago Up
set and New Election Ordered
for November Is.

Stockholders of the West Hudson
Athletic Association last night rescinded
the election of officers held at a meet
ing a week ago and agreed to hold the
election November Is.
A large number of stockholders were
on hand last night when President Mar
shall called the meeting to order. and
the meeting became lively when John
Malady, treasurer and a leading stock
holden demanded a fairer recognition
of the Harrison members in the list Of
officers. AT the election held a week
ago practically all the Offices went to
the Kea1Sy stockholders. and this dis
pleased the ones from Harrison, it is
said, so they decided to attend the
special meeting last night and endeavor
to upset the election of a week ago,
and in this they succeeded.
Members of he Kearny faction OPP
posed statements of Malady and the
arguments waved hot. He declared
that he had, advanced $500 to- the as
ISOLATION to pay for building a fence
around Harrison oval, the grounds of
the club, and that men who did work
there had not been paid. other mem
bers said that Malady would get this
money later on but today President
Marshall declared that Malady had al
ready received 1t back and that he had
admitted it. He further asserted that
Malady had spoken under stress and
was excited at the time he made the
statements. Marshall denied there was
a split in the club or that there was a
fractional fight.
Malady could not be seen today to
verify Marshall's statement.

CITY
WATER CASE
AGAIN ON
City Fighting Supply Com
pany in Chancery Over
Reservoir Purchase Price.

The final stage of the long-drawn-out
fight between Jersey City and the Jersey
City Water Supply Company over the pur-
chase price of the big Boonton reservoir
now used by Jersey City. was reached to-
day when counsel representing the munic-
ipality and the water company appeared
before e-Chanceilor Stevens to begin
final argument. 1t is expected thai couh-
sci will be heard continuously for three
days on the various important phases Oh
the suit. which involves property valued all
the way from 81, $685. 900 to 100000.
James B. Vredenburgh and City Counsel
George L. Record appeared for Jersey
city and William Fl. and Charles L. Cor
bin and former Senator William D. Ed
wards for the water company.
The suit has been one Of the most bitter
ever brought in the Court Of Chancery.
As far back as 1902 when Patrick II.
FLYNN, the original contractor and builder
of the Boonfon dam and reservoir, Went
into bankruptcy, the case has been aihios.
constantly in the courts. Water was turned
into the Jersey City water mains May 40
1904. and Immediately thereafter the Jer-
sey City Water Supply Company, which
had taken over the Flynn contract, made
its demand for payment under the terms
of the contract. fixing the amount at ~.
sos. 900. although the builders claimed 'he
system had cost 100000.
At the time the financial affairs Oh Jersey
Civ were not in the best shape ana the
demand for payment was met with various
infections. the city finally bringing suit
against the water company demanding the
specific performance Of the contract and
alleging that the watef supply instead OF
being pure and wholesome was contamin-
ated with millions of coll bacilli ana the
germ Of typhoid fever.
The allegation was backed up with SEN
s~ational testimony introduced in behalf OF
the CITY and for months the court was edi-
fed with lectures by scientific sharps,
armed with lantern slides, microscopic
plates and glass-entornbed disease germs.
All this testimony was offset by the water
company's experts, who furnished proof
that the water taken from Boonton reser-
Noir was nearer to absolute purity than Is
the potable water of any other large city
in the world.
Before opening argument the story here
briefly outlined was presented to Vice
Chancellor Stevens in the form of hand
somely ound volumes containing the tes-
timony taken during the progress of the
suit. TIE court has set aside three days
for the argument, but has Informed coun-
sci that he will not restrict them as to
time in their presentation of the case.
Mr.. Vredenburgh opened the argument
for the complainant municipality.
