raise by it's bonds the necessary funds.
The cost of water delivered toathe cities
to the Massachusetts system is less
than $40 per million gallons, and cities
and towns sell 1t to the people on their
own terms.
THE combination OF all the water
supplies reduces the cost. The $40 per
million gallons provides for cost of
maintenance and a necessary sinking

Morris Canal, as we'll as the water

THE conservation of the potable

Useful Manufactures-dates back to317s1'
Fol- all these years thai society has
claimed to control sill the surplus water
of the upper Passaic Valley. But for
it probably the East Jersey Water
Company never would have been
formed. The conditions existing in New
Jersey, in the territory within a radius
of fifteen miles Of the City Hall of Flo
boken. are about such as Massachusetts
found TO exist in 1895, within a radius
of ten miles of the state Capitol in
Boston.
Our situation WITHIN the radius l
have mentioned is about this: Newark

twenty-five years, Jersey City has one

further expenditure; Paterson, Passaic.

onne. Bloomfield and all the towns in
Bergen County and the towns in West
Hudson have no supply Of their own.
and are dependent upon private water
companies. Orange and East Orange
have a supply OF their own of doubtful
quantity.
1.-THE future supply of all these nut
inequalities is the problem. 1t is not an
easy one. yet 1t must be met.
mot only is this true as to North
Jersey. but much the same conditions
exist in South Jersey. The city of
Camden has its supply from driven
wells, and / think Atlantic City has
the same kind of a source. other towns
in South Jersey will need their supply

soon.

. Police Charge Grow de.
The crowd around Mr.. Murplly's
house vas almost impenetrabie. Time
and again the police and the Essex
Troop, which acted as escart, had "a
charge the throng to make way for
the President. There was but one ex-
hibition of disorder there, or at any
other time, however. William Walters.
"a years old, of liz Vanderpool street,
forced his way through the crowd to
President Taft. He was arrested by
Patrolinen KerrlGan and BauInau, of
the First Precinct. Tho prisoner was
discharged by Judge Hahn in the First
Precinct Court today.
Every street through which the pro-
cession had to pass was lined with
police, while plainclothesnlen worked
through tho crowds as the carriages
proceeded. Inside the hall all the plain
clothesmen of all the precincts were on
guard, in addition TO the secret service
men.

lated Chief of Police Michael Corbitt

of the presidential visit was the failure

later the troop appeared, having come

factory and permanent as this appears
to be.
Besides this, the great problem is
where to get water for the different
cities. There are not sufficient separ
ate sources of supply for each OF them,
and, in addition to that, the smaller
municipalities would be unable to 60
back to the sources of supply and
incur the Expense which would be re-
quired to obtain water for themselves.
Il have thrown out these sugg~ s.
tons tonight before this great body OF
the business men OF the state, simply
for you to think about and to start
discussion as preliminary TO official
action, which, | think, should be taken
very soon"
From tho time that President Taft,
with his accompanying train of auto
mobiles come into sight of Harrison
there was never a moment when he
could have doubted his welcome in
this State. Harrison has expended its
energies on a demonstration such as
had never been seen before in West
Hudson. Six thousand school children
were lined up in Harrison avenue
where the President stopped before the
iCty Hall. There an address of well
cone was delivered by Robert Fixter,
IS years old, of the Holy Cross School.
When the Fixter boy had finished
the President arose in the auto, and,
taking off his hat, addressed the large
crowd as follows:
MY boy and boys nj girls of Har-
rison, 7 am exceedingly pleased at the
outburst Of enthusiasm displayed by
tho good citizens of this hive OF in
dustry. 1 feel sorry for you children
because OF the coldness qf the day, but

1T is u pleasure 10 go from place
to place and see the loyalty Of the
American citizen II only given q
chance II u square deal, the Afncri-
can citizen is bound 70 get along in

his seat and there was q deafening
outburst Of enthusiasm as he sped
away in his car.
Former Assenblynlan Joseph A.
Riordan, Peter Hauck, sr.. Will
lam j, Davis. Clarence I. Van
Deren and ether members of
the Harrison, East Newark and Eear-
Common Councils saluted the Pres
ident from tie town hall steps. The
Harrison, East Newark and Kearny
police handled the large crowd in an
excellent manner Not a trolley car
moved in all Harrison while the head
Of the nation was in the town. In
spector Bernard Tuite did especially
fine work in handling the trolley traffic.
The Rev. Maurice p. OConnor, OF the
Church of the Holy Cross, who re-

the purpose. 1t would not cost a mil
lion dollars to acquire all this land
with its water supply. In North Jer-
sey, in the upper part of Passaic Coun-
ty. and a little of Morris and Sussex,
there is a watershed of $4,000 acres OF
LAND that is available for North Jer-
sey cities and towns. This can be ac-
CURED for less than the land mentioned
for the South Jersey supply. Near this
North Jersey tract will be found the
water is OF a most desirable kind for
Newark and Jersey City supply and
some of the sources from which the
East Jersey Water Company takes its
waters for the city of Paterson and
other localities. The state should take
over all this land. both in North and
South Jersey, and control ali the I'M
taken waters of the rivers, lakes and
streams IN the territory mentioned.
That the State can get all the water
rights OF the Morris canal in Lake
IIopatcong and Greenwood lake is also
sure. In less than twenty-five years
the water supply problem will be acute
in all sections of the State. All the
potable waters should be taken over

A short and informal reception was

feeling among politicians that his diff

The Governor was late in arriving,
