WORK ON LEAKS
IN WATER MAIN
Breaks Not Yet Reached by
Department Because
Of the Tide.
ONE MAIN IN SERVICE

Superintendent Crowell of the water
department stated today that the leaks
in the sixteen-inch main which caused
trouble yesterday were on the meadows
and that they could not be reached un-
til this afternoon on account of the
tide. One is near the shore and the
other only a short distance from the
river. Mr.. Crowell says that the leaks
are probably due to acid In the mud
eating away the pipe, but he will not
be able to tell for a certainty until
they are reached.
After the leaks were located yester-
day noon the water in the sixteen-inch
main was shut off and since that time
the total supply of the city has been
through the twenty-four inch main
The entire section Of the sixteen-inch
pipe ON the meadows is shut off and
the twenty-four inch one is the only
other main under the river.
The repairs to the main will be
rushed but if the breaks are bad ones
1t may take several days

Seaman states many time on the

years back, and still he has only
been on the board two years and

School Commissioner George
Moore made statement today In
which he contradicts some of the as
sertions made by F. A. Seaman in
Washington hall last week. Mr..
Moore wants to know the particulars
about the detective Mr.. Seaman said
he brought here to investigate, and
demands proofs. His statement as
he presented 1t himself is as follows:
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
The frat year came on the Board
of Education there were several citi-
zens who came to me and wanted to
know what the reason was that Prin-
cipal Deitz, of school No. 3, could
mol get raise as he was only getting
$40 per year, and that we had
wemen teachers getting $3.50 per
year. A grocery man came to me
and told me he could not pay his bills
with that amount and / told him
would look after 1t, which ] did, and
/ brought it up before the board
so listened to me and others did
not, and / asked them the reason
why. They told me Mr.. Deitz's wife
was getting $26 pc month as jani-
tress of the school and ] asked them
If they could get a janitor to do the
work for that money and they said
mo" The next they gave me was
that he got his house rent free, but
I found out later that Mr.. Maurer
gave him the house rent free.
asked them IL Mr.. Maurer had a
house worth $4,000 or was that
anything to do with the city of Perth
Amboy. and at last they gave the
consent OF 500 raise per year
The second year | tried to get him
a raise again and failed. The third
year Mr.. Seaman came into the
board and at once wanted t. give the
high school teachers a raise. All of
the board was with Mr. Seaman.
said also Professor Deitz must get a
raise to $1,000 per year Mr.. Sea-
man at once said: II think the city
is doing good enough ror Professor
Deitz. / asked Mr.. Seamal to ex-
plain himself, but did not receive
any answer. ] said then that the
high school teachers get no raise II
Mr.. Deitz does not. He said to me-:
Moore, you must come here with
your shirt sleeves rolled up and
said IT did. Now, Mr. Seaman,
WHAT rs your TohbOu 70 epcdh Vi = tD-
fessor Deitz In that nanner7 That
is my business, he said. But ] said
to him: There are five more mem
bers on this board and ! do not think
you are acting as man. Do you
mean to say that he is not capable
of the position he now holds In that
school. THAT is what l mean" he
said. ] replied: Then you should
be ashamed as one member OF the
board to keep man such as that to
ruin other families children, 80 the
best way that | can see out of this
is to pension him off.
Here comes Seaman. He said:
They ought to get a good school
board together that will not think of
how much money they can get, but
how to spend it." If that was the
