NEW SITE
FAVORED
BY. BOARD
Health Men View
vogefs New
Location.
MAY GRANT PERMISSION.

Four members of the Board of
Health went out to Mullen's farm
about o'clock yesterday afternoon
to inspect the new proposed site of
Vogel's slaughter house, which is now
located at SO Division street.
From the general appearance of
the land at this point and the prom
ises made by the owner of the land
and Proprietor Vogel, the site seems
entirely favorable to the board. 1t
is located south of Mullen's dairy and
about a hundred feet from a brook
which flows to the Smith street res
ervoir.
Mr.. Mullen has agreed to construct
a proper building for the purpose
about 40 25 feet in size, with ce-
ment floors and proper drains to a
cesspool which will also be construct
ed. The necessary water pressure re-
quired for washing the building and
contents will be furnished by Mr.
Mullen.
There will be committee meeting
of the Board of Health tonight al
which it will be permanently decided
as to whether or not license will be
given for this site. The board cannot
grant the license at committee meet.
ing but, if the site proves favorable
Mr.. Vogel will be instructed to have
the place erected and the license will
be granted at the next meeting OF
=
missioners Hanson, Reynolds and
Quick visited the place yesterday.
l. Mintz, a former partner of Mr..
Vogel, has made an application to
the board for a license for slaugh-
ter house at the present Division
street location of Vogels place The
board is opposed to this location as a
slaughter house and the license will
probably not be granted.

TO FIX PIER OF
CREEK BRIDGE

Director Pownall, of the Board of
Freeholders, Freeholder John Han
son, County Engineer Morgan F.
Larson, superintendent Gordon, of
the construction department of the
Public Service Corporation lines,
and three other officials from the
Public Service Corporation, visited
the Woodbridge creek bridge yester-
day afternoon.
The object of the visit was to give
the bridge thorough inspection,
which was done, especially the north
end or pier, which has been caving
since the erection of the bridge. The
party had the bridge turned several
times so that they might discover any
weak places.
The turntable of the structure was
recently repaired by the Perth Amboy
Foundry and Machine Company and
it was found that the work was well
done. The manner in which to pro-
ceed with the repair work of the
north pier was left in the hands of
County Engineer Larson and the
chief engineer of the Public Service
Corporation. The bridge will not be
closed during these repairs with the
exception of perhaps few hours at a
Tine.

ACT AGAINST
; v|0LAT0RS.
Hea|th|nspectors'
Notices Are
lgnore ed.
co TO CITY ATTORNEY.

Inspectors G. w. Fithian and Cort-
landt e. Brewster held conference
this morning in the inspectors Office
at city hall, at which it was decided
to commence legal proceedings
against property owners who do not
obey the notices of the department.
There are at present three such
cases, in which those concerned are
well known property owners. The in
spectors have from time to time sent
out many notices giving the owners
every chance to abate the nuisances
which they maintain. In these cases
the notices of the inspectors have
been entirely ignored. The last no.
tice was served personally, as is re-
quired by law, and today it was de-
cided, complaints against the three
parties should be placed in the hands
OF City Attorney Hommann.
The inspectors and the board have
tried to deal leniently with the public
in general and to date have done so,
but they assert that something must
be done with those who disregard all
notices and requests of the board or
its agents. These complaints are for
dirty yards or closets.
The back yard nuisance at the
northeastern corner of Smith and
State streets, which has been in ex-
istence for the past two years, has at
last been abated.

WATERSUPPLY,
AT TC|PSYT0WN
Board ACCedeS to
Ins|ee Street
Demands,
WILL LAY SINGH MAIN.

Seven property owners from Inslee
street and vicinity were present at the
meeting of the Board of Water Com
missioners at city hall last night and
asked the board to take some action
toward supplying that section of the
city. Jacob Wurgler, who spoke in
behalf of the delegation, said that the
district is entirely without water and q,
in case of fire, none could be secured.
The commissioners took immediate
action in the matter. They decided
that the best plan would be to make
connection with the main at Hall ave-
nue. and Woodbridge road and lay
pipe from there to the Inslee street
district. This would require 1000
feet of pipe and the entire job would
cost about $4,000. A revenue of $500
per annum would be derived from the
main. superintendent Burns was au-
thorized to advertise for sealed pro-
posals for about 1000 feet of eight
inch pipe for the new main to Inslee
street. Superintendent Burns says
that the money spent on the main
will soon be returned to the city,
as the revenue is large and that sec
tion of the city is growing rapidly. 1t
is the intention of the commissioners
to have the main completed before
fall.

AVENUE
| ITS CO..
368 5 Feet On the
East Side
Sold.
TO PERRINE- -BUCKELEW.

- J. P. Holm disposed of large
tract of the Westminster property to
the Perrine-Buckelew Company, Of
Jamesburg, yesterday. The sale in
cludes 368 feet fronting ON Kearny
avenue ON the east side. The new
owners will sell or build as custom
ers may desire. The Perrine-Bucke-
lew Company has developed several
tracts in this city during the past few
years, among them being the lots ad-
joining the present purchase on the
south which were built up and the
cottages Sold
The price paid in the deal yester-
day is not divulged, but if each lot in
the tract had been sold separately at
the same price of others previously
disposed of in the same block it
would amount to about SIS,
This sale takes nearly all the West
minister tract out of the market. Mr..
Holm has thus far refused to sell the
land in the block in which the old
Westminster building stands. He
feels that the historic place should
be preserved and if it is, land enough
to have small park should go with
it. The land thus reserved is about
800 by 500 feet.
All the lots fronting on State
street have been sold. The only par
GELS remaining are few on Brighton
avenue and three or four lots on the
extreme southern end fronting on
High street.

a Plant.
Mr.. NIXON HERE TODAY

The Mosher Water Tube Boiler
Company, which has been located at
the Nixon shipyard for the past eight
months. is moving it's plant to Os-
sining, n. Y. The work of packing
up material and supplies was COM
menced Monday and some of it is
being shipped today.
The company is moving into a fac
tory now erected at Ossining where
they will resume making Mosher pat
ent water tube boilers for vessels and
engines. The officials of the company
give no reason for changing their To-
cation other than that the new site
is better adapted for such work and
closer to the industries which reQuifwl
their products. The company hao
six boilers while locat-
ed in this city. The last two were
Saturday and were shipped
to City Island, to be installed
in a yacht.
The company holds lease ON the
yard which will not expire for some
time yet. Just what industry will
next locate here is as yet unknown.
Lewis Nixon visited the yard this

is doubtful if he will locate there
again, in view of his Tottenville plans.
This property was formerly occupied
by Mr.. Nixon.

Entertained
Big Crowd.
DANCING WAS FEATURE

Boynton Beach was thronged last
night when Protection Hook & Lad
der Company No. l was in charge.
All of the attractions, especially
the dancing pavilion, were well pat
ronized. The members of the COM
pany in full uniform took positions
as ticket sellers and collectors at the
various attractions. Stacey Coutts,
Edward Dilts, Robert Cotton, Frank
Comings and Joseph Hornsby ably
attended to the dancing pavilion
Some collected tickets while others
were busily selling them. The regu-
lar Boynton Beach orchestra furnish
ed music for dancing. Daniel Bach
man and Eugene Mullen handled the
Ferris wheel, which proved a we'll
patronized attraction. B. Frank
Henry and Ernest Mckenzie were in
charge of the merry-go-round, and
William Mckenzie saw that the
swings were kept going. All the fire.
men performed their duties to per-
fection at the various attractions, ,hav-
ing had experience in this line when
the Excelsior carnival was here.
Some of them merely took in money
and handed out tickets, while some of
those less shy did some barking"

cess as far as can be ascertained. A
goodly sale of tickets resulted before
the date and assisted in enlarging the
attendance.

beach from o'clock until 80. The
following committee was in charge of
the arrangements: George E. Mead,

Moisture and heat We'd with one
another yesterday in making humani-
ty miserable on one of the most hui
mid days ever known in this city.
That there were not more prostrations
by the heat was the result of the COM
paratively cool weather which had
preceded the period when the caloric
rays were hottest.
Yesterday was the hottest and most
humid day of the season thus far. A
slight south by southwest breeze,
which felt as though it came from an
oven, blew all day and was probably
responsible for the small number of
prostrations recorded in this city.
Some men in many of the fac
tories quit work yesterday afternoon.
Although not prostrated, many were
SO nearly overcome that they were
unable to continue their work.
The mercury is practically as high
today as it was yesterday, but a fresh
west breeze and slighely lower hui
midity make the weather a little more
bearable.
A laborer at the American Smelt-
ing and Refining works was over
come by the heat this morning and
was taken to DR.. w. e. Ramsay's Of
flee in an ambulance
The prediction for this afternoon is
cloudy and cooler, with thunder
storms at places along the New Jer-
sey coast.
Last night was one of the hottest
on record. Many people fiocked to
the waterfront to get breath of air,
and the trolleys were loaded with
people who sought to refresh them
selves by ride.
Shortly after noon today the wind
suddenly shifted from west to east.
indicating that shower was not far
off. At l O'Clock dark clouds arose
in the west, and peoples hopes for
relief from the heat were renewed by
the approach of hard shower, ac-
companied by thunder. The ther-
mometer has stood at the following
