these profitable customers that the East Jersey Water Company, which oper-

ture Of Senate bill No 54 The bin itself is deceptive and a cheat 1t pro-
fesses to have for it's object the merging of two water companies, and. incl
dentary, it confers an arbitrary power upon the East Jersey Water Company
to pipe under Jersey City streets, despite the will of the municipality, to sup
ply water tot the railroad companies. Loss of the annual revenue from this
source would be a staggering blow to Jersey City. The Legislature would not
think of giving to a waterc company the right to parallel a ctys mains in
tss streets to supply individual water consumers, and why, them, should the
power he given o override the municipality and supply large corporate cus-
toners of the city? Why, indeed, should a commercial company have any
