The Chief Executive Of the City Refuses TO Afix His
Signature TO the Proposed Agreement Entered into
Recently by the Commissioners With the Newly
Organized Keasbey Water Company.
LETTER PLAINLY SETS FORTH HIS REASONS

Mayor Bollschweiler has refused to
sign the agreement which the Board
of Water Commissioners recently en-
tered into with the Keasbey Water
Company on the grounds that it is
illegal, contrary to good business
policy and detrimental to the inter
ests of the city. The mayor has gone
over the contract carefully and this
morning sent lengthy communica-
tion to Clerk Ira B. Tice, of the water
board, In which he sets forth the rea-
sons why he has withheld his sigma
ture from the document in question.
At the last meeting of the water
board an agreement which had pre-
viously been made with the new
water company was approved and or
dered to go into effect when signed
by the proper authorities. The agree
ment was sent to the mayor for his
signature, but Mr.. Bollschweiler saw
in it what seemed to be a number of
"jokers" and decided to make an in
vestigation. He did SO and found
that there were many reasons why
the contract should not go into effect.
On May 10 last the water board re-
ceived an application signed by the
Keasbey Water Company, W. A. Bel
cher, treasurer, asking that the board
furnish the company with the neces-
sary supply of water that might be
required in the village of Keasbey
1t was received and ordered placed
on file. At meeting of the board
on June 2 the committee on pipe,
through its chairman, George J..
Haney, recommended that the re-
quest of the company be granted and
moved that the committee be author
lied to meet with the company and
arrange the necessary details. The
motion was carried and one after
noon later the committee met one or
more officials of the water company
at the city hall and arranged an
agreement, which the mayor has Just
refused to approve.
The letter which Mr.. Bollschwefler
sent to the clerk of the water board
this morning gives a synopsis of the
agreement and the mayors reasons
for not approving it. 1t is as fol-
lows:

INTENSE HEAT
Is The CAUSE
OF DISTRESS

The intensely warm and sultry wealth
er of today and yesterday has caused
much suffering throughout the city and,
in some cases, prostrations. Especial
ly has the suffering been great In fac
tories where, in some instances, men
have been compelled to cease work.
Early today the air was sitting and
the absence of breeze made the heat
almost uncomfortable. At 10 O'Clock the
thermometer registered 88 degrees in
the shade and it was still rising.
The heat yesterday played havoc with
laborers in local plants and similarly
affected residents about the city. Mrs.
Amelia Moser, widow, of 112 Pearl
place, was slightly overcome yesterday
afternoon and DR.. NJ s. Meinzer was
summoned to attend her. Her case was
not serious, but might have resulted SO,
had not medical attendance arrived at
once.
School Contractor Overcome.
f. e. Badger, superintendent oil
construction of the heating plant In
the new grammar school, became
prostrated with the heat while COM
ing from a railroad depot this morn
ing. He was taken to his home at
Market street and Madison avenue,
where he was attended by DR.. M. S.
Meinzer.
The physicians report many heat
cases but none is very serious.
At 2 O'Clock this afternoon the
temperature in the shade was 90 de-
grees

AUTO CAUGHT FIRE AND
OWNER WAS INJURED

Peter Floerseh, proprietor of the
Packer House, is laid up with his left
ankle sprained and his Buick $50"
automobile is damaged by fire, as the
result Of an accident near Red Bank
about 10:30 o'clock last night.
Mr.. Floersch g automobile was badly
scorched in the rear and the top was
ruined, through the ignition of a Pres
tolite gas tank from the rear light on
the auto. In the ear at the time were
Mr.. Floersch, Prosecutor. sTheordore b.
Booraem, Raymond Groves and Robert
Carson, of New Brunswick, and chauf-
feur Bert Hughes, of Elizabeth.
The party was returning home from a
trip to Portapeck and stopped at the
Globe hotel in Red Bank. There a new
Prestolite gas tank was secured and at
tached to the rear of the machine. The
tank contained an undiscovered leak
and the wind famed the fumes to the
rear danger light, thus igniting them.
In an instant the flames rose up over the
back of the machine The top was
folded down on the rear seat and burn
ed rapidly. The occupants jumped
quickly from the car and extinguished
the flames with water. Mr.. Floersch
wrenched his ankle while alighting
from the car.
The party proceeded to this city in the
damaged car and were piloted by Alex
ander Conquest in George F. Reynold Is

senting the city of Perth Amboy, of
the one part, and the Keasbey Water
Company, a private corporation of
the state of New Jersey, of the other
part, by which it is proposed that the
city of Perth Amboy shall permit the
water company to build on and ex-
tend the water pipe line laid by the
city of Perth Amboy, in the extension
of Smith street, and use said pipe as
conduit for furnishing water to the
pipe system of the water company in
and through the village of Keasbey,
in the township of Woodbridge, for
period of ten years, with the privi-
lege of renewal for a further period
of fifteen years at the same rate at
the option of the water company.
The method of measuring the water
delivered is to be determined by the
reading of a meter to be placed at
the boundary line between the city of
Perth Amboy and the township of
Woodbridge by the water company,
and to be approved by your honora-
BILE body. The rates are to be ac-
cording to an ordinance of your hon
orable body passed April 22. 1909,
which is not to be changed either
during the first ten years or for the
time of the renewal.
VIII Not Sign IL.
This contract has been submitted
to me, as mayor, for my signature.
which l must now withhold, for ! am
advised that the contract as proposed
by you cannot be entered into in be-
half of the city without the consent
of the governing board thereof. AS
one of the component parts of that
governing board, l deem that 1t
would not be amiss for me to express
my opinion In relation to this matter.
Opposed for Many Reasons.
/ am opposed to the entering into
this contract for many reasons, both
as to the legality of it as it is pre-
scented to me, and secondly as a ques-
tion of business policy. will take
up only the question of policy.
II seems to me that we have
enough to contend with at this time
to procure water in sufficient quanti-
ty to satisfy the needs of our inhabi
tants The pressure upon our mains,
especially those leading from the
water works plant to the city, is
often too great for these mains to
bear, and the attempt to pump
through them more water produces
breaks and blow-outs and other indi-
cations OF weakness, that already call
some unforeseen damage to the water

convenience and real need of water,
Further, we are now looking about
to obtain more land adjoining tha
water plant already established. in
contemplation of the need of moro
water in the near future, and in feat
that the wells already driven may
sooner or later become exhausted.
The act of 1876, adopted by ths
city of Perth Amboy is one, ITO en<
able cities to supply the inhabitants
thereof with pure and wholesome
water" and the first section of that
act limits the persons to be SO supt
piled to "the inhabitants residing
within the corporate limits of said
city,
1t is only for that purpose that thd
city may incur Indebtedness which
will enable it to carry out the pro-
visions of the act, and the law is very
explicit in confining the power to
issue bonds to the purpose of supply
ing the inhabitants with pure and
wholesome water. If we enlarge the
territory to be supplied, we surely
must issue more bonds to procure
land and water rights. and we must
also enlarge the capacity of the water
plant and entire water system, and
for those purposes it will be neces-
sary to issue bonds so that we will be
called upon to illegally do indirectly
that which, by law, we are forbidden
to do, and for which we have no au-
thority.
Might Affect Our Pressure.
Again, we will be called upon to
force the water over the hill within
the township of Woodbridge, adjoin-
ing the city limits and adjoining
Keasbey. The difference in the level
of that hill and tide water must be
somewhere near eighty feet, and that
will place upon our water system

INSULTED BY
MAN WEARING
A CITY BADGE

In response to telephone message
yesterday afternoon Sergeant McDer-
mott detailed Patrolman Wood to the
home of Mrs. Joseph Buynofsky, at 305
Barclay street, where an officer was said
to be needed. When the policeman ar
rived he was told by Mrs. Buynofsky
that man wearing health officer 8
badge Of the city of Perth Amboy had
come into her store a short time before
and insulted her She said that the
man was under the influence of liquor
and had acted disorderly.
The man was gone before the officer
arrived but Mrs. Buynofsky said that
he had pulled open his coat and dis
played badge and told her that he
lived at AIS State street. Mrs Buynof-
sky, according to Patrolman Wood, was
considerably incensed at the way the
man had acted and said that he had
grossly insulted her.
Several members of the Board of
Health learned of the matter this morn
ing and said that it would be investigat-
ed this afternoon. The investigation
will be made by Chairman Henderson
of the Sanitation Committee and, if he
reports to the commissioners that one
of the deputy inspectors was really
guilty of indecent conduct, the inspector
in question, who is said to be John J
Clark, of 416 State street, will probably
be dismissed.
A confirmation of the rumor that the
man who insulted Mrs Buynofsky was
Inspector Clark is found in the follow
ing statement made by Health Commits
Isioner p N. Kenndy this morning:
Regarding that episode relative to
Deputy Health Inspector Clark yester-
day interviewed Mrs. Buynofsky who
informed me that what transpired was
what you would expect from most peo-
pie under similar circumstances, and
all she wanted was that Mr.. Clark
would come and apologize to her.
| "Clark told me that he took few
glasses of beer and, not being used to
it; together with the heat, it had eff
fected him to such degree that he did
not realize his condition.
