ANNEX KEASBEY
. is SUGGESTION
Mayor BoIIschweiIer Says
That Might Be a Way Out
Of Present Problem.
FOR SUPPLY OF WATER

When Mayor Bollschweiler was
asked today IL he would approve the
contract which the water board In
tended entering into tonight with
the Woodbridge Township Commit
tee to supply Keasbey at meter rates
he said that, no probably would. He
added that he was in favor Of sell
ling water direct to the township
but not to a private company Bet
ter than all, the mayor says, would
be for this city to annex Keasbey.
II have been approached blately
by number of citizens OF Perth
Amboy and Keasbey," he continued,
on the subject of permitting water
main to be laid from this city to
Keasbey, so as to AFFORD that thriving
village the use of our excellent water
supply. Permit me to say once
more that am opposed to granting
permission to a private corporation,
or to an individual, to lay pipes with
the intention of supplying Keasbey
with water from our system as a
source of supply. ] can never con-
sent to an act of that nature,
While realize that Keasbey 10
in need of water, do not see how
we can look upon 1t as our duty TO
furnish such supply, and certain
ly not through private enterprise.
The Woodbridge township authori-
ties are the proper parties to take
up the matter as Keasbey is part Of
their territory and they should see
that 1t is supplied with water.
II understand that the Wood
!. - Il. -. Ia
gotiating with the water board of
this city to supply Keasbey. The peo-
pie of Keasbey pay their taxes in
Woodbridge township and to that
township they ought to look for their
water, fire protection etc. If they
cannot get what they want from
that source, way out Of the mat
ter would be to apply to this city
for annexation. Keasbey in that
event would have all the privileges
OF our city.
by geographical situation, Keas-
hey naturally belong to this city and
would find great convenience in
having a head of her municipal af-
fairs here, rather than in Wood
bridge township. Communication ii
direct and her territory adjoins ours
The question of private interests in
the matter must not be considered
and the sale of water from one nun.
icipality to the other would have to
be considered very carefully before
executing a contract.

COMMISSIONERS MAY
ACT IN THE MATTER
keasbay Water Contract is
Expected to Be Entered
into at Meeting Tonight.

AT committee session of the wa
ter board last night q representa-
tive of the National Water Main
Cleaning Company, OF New York was
present and discussed the advisable.
ty Of cleaning some Of the mains n
this city. At the previous meeting
Of the board he had been present
ana wanted to clean 1000 feet as a
test contract. He stated that the
price would be twenty-five cents 4
loot but, II more work was done
later, discount would be allowed.
The commissioners agree that
some of the mains, especially IN
the southern part OF the city, need
cleaning but some of the board feel
that the money cannot be afforded
at the present time Last night
the representative had several pieces
Of local mains on view to prove how
badly they needed cleaning. The
company wants the test contract now
as they believe that, when the Board
sees the results accomplished, more
work will be ordered next spring.
The board did not decide last night
to award the test contract but may
take action on 1t at tonlght's meet
ing.
Keasbey Action EXP ected.
It Is expected that the board
will also enter into a contract to-
night with the Woodbridge Town
ship Committee to supply Keasbey
with water at meter rates. The
township committee was to have
held special meeting Monday night
to act on the matter but will meet
tonight instead A representative OF
the committee is expected to await
on the board tonight relative to the
contract. Last Wednesday night the
township committee came to this city
to meet the water board and dis
cuss the matter but, as there was
not quorum present, no action was
taken. Commissioner Fraser and
Grouse were present, however, and
agreed to have City Attorney Hom-
mann prepare an agreement for the
approval of the committee and so 1t
could be acted on tonight. It Will
be for only one year, as the town
ship committee can only make one
for Its term Of offiees and the water
board could not make It for over
three years without the consent OF

Following the announcement that
next year the Board Of Aldermen
would convert the hill at the foot
Of Market street into sort OF q
public park BY terracing 1t and
placing benches there, the sugges-
tion was made that the city pur-
chase the adjoining property on the

with general favor and members OF
the council said the idea was good
one. providing the property could
be purchased reasonably.
With a view to obtaining MT.
Meredith'H sentiments In the mat
ter NEWS reporter called on him
in his office at 10 Wall street, New
York, yesterday afternoon.
When the project was explained
to him, Mr.. Meredith said that 1t was
good one and that a park at the
foot OF Market street would be a
great benefit to the public. he said
that, IL the city wanted to buy his
property, he would not be unreason-
able, although he remarked that the
property was valuable on account or
it's water frontage.
When the NEWS man hated that
It was thought that perhaps he
would be willing to gell 1t to the
city at moderate ptlce In view OF
the use that was to be made of 1t,
Mr.. Meredith said he would not sell
it to the city any cheaper than be
would to an Individual, although he
would not be unreasonable regard
Ing the price He added that he
did not want to be quoted in the
newspaper or called philanthropist.
He said that Perth Amboy was not
his home. When asked what he
thought his property was worth, Mr..
Meredith said he was not prepared
to state any price unless the city
started negotiations with him, at
which time he would do so.
Although, the city fathers believe
that the proposition Is good one II
the site could be bought at a fair
figure, no advances have yet been
made by the city toward that end.
