SAY RESERVOIR
IS UNFIT TO
CUT ICE FROM

Health Inspector Brewster has
notified the Perth Amboy Coal Com
pany advising them to withdraw the
request which they made at the last
meeting of the Water Board, that
they be permitted to cut ice on the
old Smith street reservoir, as the
water in this pond is impure, and
that, if it is not good enough for
drinking purposes, it is not good
enough to be used in ice form.
AS told in the NEWS, at the last
meeting of the Water Board Joseph
E. Stricken was present and submit
ted bid for harvesting ice from
the Smith street reservoir, for the
Perth Amboy Coal Company They
offered 500 a year for the privilege.
providing the commissioners would
make ten-year lease and allow them
a strip of land on the bank of the
pond on which to erect an ice house.
The board carefully considered this
bid and referred it to the committee
on real estate, to seek the advice OF
the city attorney as to whether the
board has power to include the strip
of land in the lease.
When seen by a NEWS reporter
this morning Inspector Brewster said
that the Health Board had consid-
cred the matter and that he had
notified the Perth Amboy Coal Com
pany, not to go too deep into the
matter, as the Health Board, would
not stand for the use of ice from this
pond.
For years the Smith street reser-
voir, known as the old Eaglewood
pond. supplied water for use in this
city, but of late, it has become dirty,
it is declared.
Frank Dorsey, of the firm of L. ].
Dorsey < Sons, who claimed to hold
lease on the pond, told NEWS re-
porter this morning that the lease
was granted to them by the city
council some years ago. He said that
they had cut ice from the pond one
season. and found it impure, and
contained so much clay and dirt. that
they had never bothered further
