At meeting of the Board of
Water Commissioners, last night, a
communication to Superintendent A.
H. Crowell from the superintendent
of the South Amboy water depart
ment, relative to reduction of the
rate charged for water, was read.
The letter stated that South Amboy
used 30,350,575 gallons of water
during October, November and De-
cember of 1909, in view of which
fact, the official stated, he would like
to know whether six or seven cents
per thousand gallons had been
charged. The official further stated
in his communication that according
to the revised meter rate ordinance
of the board, South Amboy should
pay six cents per thousand gallons
and not seven cents, on account of
the increased consumption.
After a short discussion on the
matter the commissioners decided
that South Amboy was entitled to
the six-cent rate in accordance with
the meter ordinance. President
Fraser stated that the city's contract
with South Amboy at seven cents per
thousand gallons had expired some
time ago. Hereafter water will be

the vicinity of the bridges that the
greatest damage was done by the ris-
ing of the waters, although the ac-
tual harm resulted not so much from
their violence as from the undermin-

WILL LESSEN
The SALOONS
Excise Board Will Reduce
Number of Licenses
Eliminate Complaints.
CARRY OUT PLATFORM

Pursuant with their platform is
sued before election, the present
Board of Excise Commissioners will
grant no new licenses and move
ment is now on foot to lessen the
present saloon traffic in this city by
reducing the number of licenses.
The board will endeavor to impart
no injustice to any dealers in their
proposed crusade. 1t Is the voice OF
the commissioners that saloons must
go and they have plan whereby
their number will be gradually de-
creased.
The commissioners are taking no
hasty steps in this direction, how
ever, as they wish to start right and
avoid unnecessary opposition and
criticism. They plan to gsadually
eliminate saloons until the number
is well reduced. This they propose
to do by Kidding the city of the most
disreputable places. They intend to
close up saloons where complaints
or other good reasons warrant such
procedure and no leniency will dis
played in any case.
The commissioners propose
through their efforts, to eliminate
saloons that are not run in accord"
ance with the law, and in that way
both lessen the number of saloons
and make the remaining ones good
reputable places, leaving licenses
only in the hands of law-abiding sa-
loonkeepers.
The monthly meeting of the ex-
else commissioners will be held to-
night in city hall, at which, it is ex-
pected, some new matters will come
I'D for discussion.

Trouble Over Feeding Of
Witnesses Dem and Maps
OF Engineers
REPAIRS FOR JAIL
speciar to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, Feb. 3:-A busy
meeting of the Board of Freeholders
was held here this morning, at
which William Donomore, who was
recently assigned to feed county
prisoners, presented communities
tion from Prosecutor Booraem,
which charged that two witnesses in
the county jail had not been prop
erly fed. 1t is the custom that wit
nesses eat from the sheriff's table,
and it appears that Mr. Donomore,
who first took the position February
/, did not know that Abraham Lin
den and John Jaloik were witnesses.
The sheriff, it is alleged, did not tell
him that they were to receive better
food than the regular prisoners. At
ter the fire in the Jail, these two
witnesses had been transferred from
the witness detention department to
the regular mems compartment.
Hereafter the sheriff will give DON
omore notice of the number of pris-
oners and witnesses daily contained
in the jail Differences seem to ex-
list between the sheriff and the free
holders. IT appears that Sheriff
Quackenboss does not approve of
Donomore, as he was not consulted
before Donomore was appointed.
The freeholders passed resolu-
tions ordering $4,000 worth of
bonds sold. $4,000 will be bor-
rowed to pay off a bond that falls due
on the first of the month.
Freeholder Hendricks reported
that $40 would have to be expended
for a new cement floor in the county
jail and that 500 was required for
rewriting. The matter was referred
to the county buildings committee.
Freeholder Kerr reported damage
done to the Perth Amboy bridge by
the recent flow of ice down the Rari-
tan river.
A motion was made and passed
ordering a formal demand made on
former County Engineer Morgan F.
Larson to turn over all county rec
ords, maps, ETC., to the newly-ap-
pointed county engineer. Mr.. Lar
son was not present.

SAID SHE COT
SHORT WEIGHT
Butcher Arraigned Before
Recorder on Complaint
of Domestic.
WILL REFUND MONEY

Joseph Stern, thirty-two years old,
of 92 Fayette street, was arrested
this morning on warrant sworn out
by Julia Chapiro, domestic in the
employ of Woodbridge family,
charging him with attempting to
swindle her out of two pounds of
meat.
Stern is a butcher employed by
Harry Rein, who has a stand in
Jefferson Market. The girl claims
that she visited the stand yesterday
and negotiated for the purchase OF
ten pounds of pork, for which she
paid $1.28. When she reached
home, she says, her mistress weigh
ed the meat and found that it was
short two pounds.
This morning she sent the girl
back to demand the return or the
purchase price. This, the domestic
states, the butcher refused to give
her, but offered her the two pounds
of pork instead. She in turn re-
fused this and had warrant sworn
out for Stern's arrest.
He was arraigned before the re-
corder and his employer, who ac-
companied him, stated that the de-
ficiency was not Intentionally made.
The matter was finally settled by Re-
corder Pickersgill's suggestion that
the money be refunded, with which
Rein offered to comply.
Chief Burke said that this is not
the first time that complaints have
been made about shortness in
weight. He added that the police
intend to follow any complaints that
are made in the future no matter
how trivial, and to give the offender,
If found guilty, the full penalty.

MAY BUILD A
WATER PLANT
Runor Is Prevalent That
South Amboy Will Secure
Own Supply.
TO REDUCE EXPENSE

According to. rumor which is
now current, South Amboy may
shortly erect a municipal pumping
station and discontinue the supply
from Runyon, for which this city re-
ceives an annual revenue.
Mayor Thomas Scully and num-
ber of South Amboy councilmen are
of the opinion that it would be
cheaper to build pumping station
and a number of ground storage
wells and to take the water from
the supply west Of that city than to
pay the annual charges to this city
for the Runyon water.
At present South Amboy pays for
water at the rate of six cents per
thousand gallons. The monthly bills
average $500, making total expen-
diture for the year of something like
$4,000. The original contract price
was seven cents per thousand gal
Ions, for the amount of water used
Mayor Scully, however, thinks that
he can cut down this expense, and II
his plans materiallze, the new sys-
tenn will shortly be established.
