Approved April 8, 1906"
In communication to Council
Henry HI. Ottens and others asked for
the privilege of erecting water-works
east of Delaware avenue as a number
of new houses there needed water
badly. Council hardly knew what to
do witt this request, as they did not
cfse for competition if the Borough
was to go into the water business.
Council did not decide whether or not
to make the attempt to obtain the
necessary written consent of property
owners and arrange for another special
election. To dispose of the question
the matter was referred to the Solicitor.
If the Borough decides not to buy the
present water plant the Ottens propo-
sition will in all probability be given
serious consideration. Thomas Corson
resigned as assessor, and the resignation
was accepted. Mr.. Corson's resignation
was prompted, it is said, by the re-
fusal of Council to raise his salary.
The salary of the Collector was increas-
ed to 5000 per year and that ofthe Clerk
to $3.50 per year, and Mr.. Corson felt he
was Disseminated against. Harry
Conn was appointed borough marshal.

so.
1t is said that the ice is forming in
Raritan Bay and Barnegat Bay. This
will make duck shooting better, as the
birds have to come inshore to the ali
holes to feed. The New York laws
forbid the shooting of water fowl at
this time of the year, SO the New York
gunners are coming over to New Jer-
