WATER COMPANIES HELD UP.
Governor Fort Against Diversion De-
signed by Hudson County Concern.

Governor Fort Against Diversion De-
signed by Hudson County Concern
Governor Fort has expressed himself
in emphatic terms concerning the plans
of the Hudson County Water company,
ali East Jersey concern, to divert New
Jersey Water to Staten Island. II am
unalterably opposed to the transporta-
tion Of water from this state by any
person or corporation, whether from
lakes, rivers or subterraneous sources, !"
said the governor, and will do any
thing within my power to prevent the
diversion of our waters by anybody"
The governor received a letter from
Mayor Wittpenn, of Jersey City, ask
ing for conference to discuss Iegisla-
tion that will prevent the water COM
pany from carrying out its plans, and
he expressed his willingness to attend
such a conference. The date will prob
ably be announced shortly
There has been some talk of a special
session of the legislature to act in the
water company grab but this will
be unnecessary il the contention of
the governor in respect to the recent
decision of the court of errors and ap-
peals is upheld. This decision upheld
the constitutionality Of the Bacheller
law, which prohibited the diversion of
water from the state. The water com
pany's lawyers held that the decision
applied to potable water only, andthat
the company, was at liberty to drive
wells and sell the water thus obtained
outside of the state. The governor
says that in his judgment the opinion,
which was written by the present
chancellor, was never intended to con-
vey the impression or to decide judici-
ally that subterranean waters might
be diverted.
The water company has already
driven number of wells in the
neighborhood of Belleville, and is now
laying pipes to carry the water OBJ
tanned in this manner to Staten
Island.

Young Mems Christian Association
Pays $14, ZOO for the Place.
Negotiations for the sale of the st.
Hilda school property, corner of Wash
ington street and Western avenue, to
the Young Mems Christian association
have been about completed. The
price agreed upon for the property is
Sl4, 900 and the deed will pass from the

to the Y. M. G. A.. on November 3rd.
The property is 3l5 feet on Western

and ITO feet on Phoenix avenue. The
Community used the place until a
few months ago as an orphanage
but when it's new building was
completed at Ralston the children
were moved to that place and the St.
Hilda property abandoned. The build
ings on the property are large RAM
shackle wooden structures and will, it
is expected, be replaced by the Y. M.
G. A. with modern building.
The < M, @. A. building was erect
ed twenty years ago and for some time
has been inadequate for the needs of
association work. Last June the board
of directors appointed the Rev. Frank
lin B. Dwight, DR.. Stephen Pierson,
Edwin p Ford Samuol r. Gillaonfa
and Archibald b. Leuder, with Presi-
dent Willard W. Cutler, "a committee
to consider the advisability of adding
new equipment or securing funds for
a new physical department.. The COM
mittee found the association circum-
scribed for room in its present. loca-
tion and recommended that the asso-
citation secure the St. Hilda property.
The board of trustees empowered Mr..
Cutler to negotiate for the property.

Chaplain GIazebrook retired:


Captain OTIS A. Glazebrook, Of Eliz-
-abeth, chaplain of the Second regi-
ment, and one of the best beloved men
in the New Jersey National Guard
was retired from active service by an
executive order of Governor Fort on
Saturday, the captain having reached
the age Of sixty-four years He iS're-
tired under the Vredenbergh act, and
should that act be declared anconsti-
tntional in the court Of errors and APP
peals, something " hich is rumored will
take place in November, the captain
will then be again on active duty,
The beauty in this retirement comes
from the fact that. Notwithstanding
that Captain Glazebrook fought in the
Confederate army and was on the staff
of General Stonewall Jackson when
that Southern general was killed, Gov
ernor Fort takes occasion to say in the
order OF retirement. " His patriotism
and love Of country are unquestioned. !"
This shows that the Civil war is over.
Chaplain Glazebrook is the father of
DIR. Glazebrook OF the Morristown,
Board Of Health.

conducted the stud merely with a
view to supplying the horses used by
himself and his family, but OCCASION
ally has brought out a few prize win
