another attempt to have the $780,
900 bond issue passed. At the meet
ing last night the matter was dis
cussed and the ordinance of year
ago was gone over by the commits.
sioners. President Clark finally gave
1t to Commissioner Fraser, with In
structions to take it to John H. Cald-
well, of New York, and have 1t drawn
to date.
Mr.. Caldwell was employed year
ago by the board for $3.50 to prepare
the issue. $3.50 was paid him and
he will be given the balance, accord
ing to agreement, after he has COM
pleted the work.
Commissioner Haney asked Presi-
dent Clark why the city attorney
could not have done the work, and
was informed that few New Jersey
lawyers can prepare bonds that will
pass in New York tSate.
The meeting which followed lasted
about an hour and consisted mostly
! of discussions. The board decided
that more wells are needed at Run
| yon and that many mains should be
laid also another pump installed at
Runyon. Engineer Mason said that
the maximum capacity of the wells
at Runyon is about 100000 gallons
daily and that the average daily con-
sumption here is over 100000 gal

For WeIl-Driving Machine.
The board talked of buying we'll
driving machine, such as is used at
Camden, Atlantic City and several
other cities in this state. The ma
chine, which is not expensive, would
reduce the cost of well-driving about
| so per cent. Before purchasing the
machine, the pipe committee and the
engineer will take another trip to
Camden and obtain further informa-
| tion.
Chairman Fraser of the finance
committee reported that the annual
statement is nearly finished, and
