England has been disbanded. Portia and
Hamlet, Peter Pan and Lady Teazle, with

When Reuben G. Woodward, of

Waterbury at All Lafayette street New
Years eve he had a New Years reso-
luton all framed up. When he reached
the Lafayette street house several
friends of the Waterbury family had
gathered to see the new year in. Mr..
Woodward was afraid at first that he
wasn't going to get a chance to tell
Miss Waterbury of his resolve and ask
her to join him.
By an accident, however, they hap
pened to be alone for q few minutes
and then Miss Waterbury was told.
softly but distinctly, that he had re-
solved to start the new year off as a
married man. Miss Waterbury said
that she would be glad to help him
keep his new resolution.
The couple told the friends about it.
When the friends began to make plans
for a wedding the two resolvers politely
told them that they were going to
start the new year right. 1t was quit
ting time for 1909, and the entire party
went to the parsonage OF the Union

early need them or which depend on
companies now obligated to stfpply
certain districts of this territory
The commission says that the plan to
establish a reservoir at Mountain View
has much to commend it. 1t will give
protection against flood and furnish
means of impounding the greatest
quantity of water at the least relative
cost. This watershed has an area of
$50 square miles, as compared with
Gig. ty-three square miles in the
Wanaque. Several other sheds are
available, but they are more removed
all much less in extent. The commits
sion says the Mountain View reservoir
could impound g.. 900. or, 900 gallons of
water, with a daily yield of $50, 900, 900.
The -Vanadue reservoir would hold H.
OOO,o 600, 900 and the daily yield would be
5000, 900 gallons.
1.-The time when the needs of the gem
eral public would tax the capacity of
the reservoir is not far distant, as
measured by the lapse of time in the
growth of the State. The quantity of
water furnished by public and private
companies in 1905 to the communities
who will eventually and OF necessity
be dependent in whole or in part on
the reservoir was about los, 000, 900 gall
Ions daily. and in 1910 the amount
needed will be about 100000 gallons.
a daily increase of 10000, 900 gallons.
Assuming the same rate of increase in
daily consumption of water, which
m st be obtained from sources other
than the present, 1t will have ,ched
approximately 10000, 900 in five years
thereafter and for each succeeding five
years such increase in daily average
will be more rapid. The COM .mption
OIL the 200. 0 O,000' gallons, the daily ca

order to maintain the flow of the Pas

year 1890. IT water be furnished at the
rate of SIS a million gallons the rev.
enue, capitalized at 4 per cent, would
represent a plant worth at least $780,

''The commission would urge early
action on the score of economy. The

be acquired and the works built at
much less expense than at a later PEI

reasonable objections and be the
easiest of realization. 1t is for the
creation Of a district which would
comprise only the lands to be occupied
by the site Of the proposed reservoir,
together with other lands that might
be required for a dam and necessary
structures against pollution. There
should be legislation, the commission
comments, whereby the commission
would have no power to incur any in
debtcdness until it should first Lave
ascertained that the revenue to be de-
rived would warrant the erection and
operation of the reservoir and works
rEtil the raising of funds necessary
for hat purpose should LAY first been
assured. There should be given the
commission power to negotiate pro.
visional contracts with municipalities
in need Of new or additional supplies
and arrange. with them for providing
means in amount sufficient to warrant
the beginning of the work. When
these were assured the law should
enable the commission to proce1d with
the, development of the plana
1t should also be made lawful for
any municipality to enter into such
contract and to provide for raising its
proportionate share of the necessary
funds for the acquisition OF lands and
the commencement % the work. The
commission should then have power
to pledge the reservoir and it's appur-
tonances together with the water rights.
az security for the payment Of the
bonds issued from time to time for the
completion Of the works. Provision
SHOULD also be made whereby ~ reyc-'

nues derived from the contracts should
be applied to the payment of the cost
of maintenance and interest charges.
and then TO the payment of the adj
vances made by the municipalities. A
sinking sund should have place in the
plan whereby the bonds issued could
be retired and State become eventually
the owner of the reservoir free OF in
debtedness.
"Tke plan,'' says the report, sis here
outlined only in a general way. but it
is n which seems practicable and
does not require any guarantee on the
part of the State, the legality of which
is extremely doubtful.
If adopted, the commission would
at first simply erect reservoirs, inn
pound the waters of the State, provide
for compensation for riparian and
flowage rights and deliver water at its
reservoirs to those needing it from time
to time in sufficient quantities for their
wants, and ut prices which, affording
a living profit, would not be subject
to the discretion of those who are now
clone able to furnish the supply"
The report sal that if such a dis
trict for the Wanaque alone were
Created IL Wouiu nave ldCliills To luI-
pishy at least 10, 600, 900 gallons a day,
which would long continue sufficient
for demands Under economical distri-
button. The commission believes that
this plan will commend itself as far
bette than that which would permit
the taking of this great supply to the
exclusion Of others by any single mu-
nicipality, whose present needs do not
require one-seventh of 1t and whose
future needs will not in all human
probability require as much as half
OF it for nearly fifty years to come.
The commission thinks this mere state
ert would completely Justify the
creation of the district.
THE urgency of such action, says
the commission, lis also evident il the
equitable distribution of these waters is
to ! secured, from the fact the use
of part of them will soon be necessary
for h rapidly growing communities
in this part of tho State. Unless the
policy be inaugurated in the immediate
future the right. to use some of them
must soon be granted if jnstIce is to be
done to the municipalities which will

riod. Each years delay will inevitably
add to the cost
In this connection the commission
says hat the requirement of lands and
the creation of n dist is beset
with difficulties, 'but they are not in
surmountable."
Incidentally the commission gives
s e statistics showing the growth in
population in Hudson, Passaic, Ber-
gen, Essex and Union counties since
1850, in which year these counties had
a population of 133,154, as compared
with 1,252,S77 in 1905. according to the
State census
'fThe State has shown a more rapid
proportionate growth than any of its
neighbors.' 1t also gives the population
Of eleven cities of the North Jersey
section. showing the total to have
been III, 1902 in 1905, as against 81, 914 in
1850. The cities are Paterson, Passafc,
Bayonne, Montclair, Harrison, Kearny.
West Orange, Jersey City, with 232,699
in 1905; Newark, Hackensack and En-
glewood. Basing the growth of the
last ten years upon that of the preced-
ing decades. the commission estimates
that the population of these counties
will have increased to 1,500.000 this cen
sus and that the eleven cities will lave
a grand total of at least 100000. The
water furnished by public and private
companies within the counties above
mentioned Is at the rate of approx
rsaate'y 1885, 00, 900 gallons daily and the
quantity (which will be needed will
rapidly increase as the population
grows. The growth OF the cities OF
the North Jersey section is an argu-
ment of the commission for establish
ment of reservoirs and water districts
under State supervision.
