The Mayor told Sam to wait a few
months until he could sell the gas bonds, as
the bill had to be paid out of the gas funds.
Mayor Adamson stated that he had atten-
ded conference with representative of F.
D. Moses and J. Boyd Avis, and the repre-
sentative of Mr.. Moses had stated 10 him
that if Norman Grey would say the bonds
of the gas plant were all right, that they
would take them as collateral. The Mayor
also stated that he had seen Jos. J. Sum-
merrill, counsel for the Paulsboro Water
! Co., in reference to the suit now pending in
Trenton, and Mr.. Summerill stated that he
would try and have it settled at an early
date, so that some opinion might be given
on the gas bonds, but under the same breath
Mr.. Adamson stated that the water ques-
ton had nothing whatever to do with the
gas plant or its bonds.
The Mayor gave Council some figures to
look over between now and the next meet

great deal more money would be needed
this year over what we have had in former
years. He stated that ne will need 81 800
for borough purposes, against $500 last
year, but we don't need SO much school
money; we will require So, 500 for the gas
plant interest and it would cost $500 per
year for man and boy 80 operate the
plant. Looks like Kisselman is going to
furnish this help, but to overcome the gas
asphyxiation, we have 500 left over from
the Board of Health and $50 from the poor
fund which will help out some.
