LACKAWANNA BUYS
JERSEY CITY WATER.
with Railroad Com
PAW Just Signed.

JERSEY CITY, Dec. SIT has been
learned in Jersey City that the
Lackawanna Railroad Company a few
days ago entered into a contract with
the Street and Water Commissioners
of Jersey City for a supply of water
to run for a period of twenty-five
years. The city Is to receive $50 a
million gallons for water Supplied to
all parts of the railroad company's
lines outside of Jersey City. and $100
a million gallons for the supply in
Jersey City.
This contract terminates litigation
hat has been pending in the Court of
Chancery. The Lackawanna Company
a short time ago obtained an injunction
restraining the authorities of Jersey
City from interfering with 1t in laying
water pipes over trestles at Hoboken
avenue, Henderson, Grove street and
Jersey avenue. This action was taken
after the railroad officials notified the
city that they proposed establishing
their own water system and would buy
water outside of Jersey City.
The hitch was that Jersey City asked
more than the price for water agreed
upon in the contract that 1t signed a
few days ago.

JANITORS WILL
HAVE MONEY FOR XMAS.

In order that the public school jani-
tors may have this months salary in
time to use it for Christmas the Board
of Education last night voted to pay
the men on December "a instead of the
31st, as is customary. The board also
decided to inspect the fire exits at the
Elliott Street, Hamburg Place, Web
ster Street, Seventh Avenue and Mont
gomery Street schools. At the Bergen
Street School it may be necessary to
buy additional property in order to
provide sufficient alleyway on the north
side of the building.
A new boiler will be installed at the
Seventh Avenue School, as the present
heating apparatus is inadequate ac-
cording to the report of Engineer
Knight. The Improvement will cost
$1,000 and will necessitate closing the
school for a week.

while others are not, the same rate,
96 cents per 500, prevailed throughout.
The Senator and Counselor Murray
thought that in the case of the mod
ern schools the rates were too high.
The Senator commended the Newark
method of competitive bids on insur-
ance, Inc advised the board to look
into h matter. At present the in
surance is In charge Of the commits
sioner that looks after a particular
school, and he makes all arrangements
with insurance companies.
The last witness called was Walter
q. Scott. He suggested to the COM
mittee that the State ought to have a
law enforcing the use of certain fire
escapes.
ION many buildings said Mr.. Scott,
'tthe fire escapes are of such a construc-
ton as to require a trained circus rider
to walk on them with any degree of
safety. We need a law compelling all
fire escapes to be made safe"

Beauty Needed No Improvement

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. S.-Mrs.
Lille B. Boswell has sued Zeph F. Bos-
well for divorce because he praised her
beauty too much.
She says it had its foundation in
jealousy. Just to show that Mr.. Bos-
well was entirely satisfied with her
appearance and did not care to have
her improve on nature, Mrs. Boswell
cited an instance when, she said, Mr..
Boswell ordered away from their home
a woma who was giving her a facial
massage with a cream guaranteed to
give her a complexion that would
shame a peach.

well is said to have declared. And the
treatments were free, too, for the
woman had asked Mrs. Boswell to allow
her face to be used as an example, be-
cause of the admirable groundwork.

SO. LENDERS WANT BETTER
STREETS AND POLICING.

The South End Improvement Asso-

to petition the Board of Works to re-
open Ridgewood avenue south Of War

declaring that the contractor had al

PATERSON|ANj
WANT SCHOOL
F|RE-ESCAPES
Senate Probe Discl0ses That Ten
Schools Lack This Means
of Exit.

PATERSON, Dec. 8.-Many parents
in this city today discussed appre-
hensively the disclosure brought out at
the Senate school probe hearing that
ten of the twenty-four grammar schools
here are without horoscopes. SEN
ator Frelinghuysen, chairman of the
investigating committee, elected the
information also that the school houses
in question are not fireproof. Hope is
expressed in all quarters hat this de-
feet will be remedied speedily.
In the ten buildings the staircases
are of wood, four feet wide. There are
three staircases in each of the school
buildings, which are three stories high.
The top floor of each school has an av-
erage daily attendance of 300 children.
The architect stated that because the
staircases are in different parts of the
building 1t is improbable that a fire
would spread so rapidly as to cut of
escape in all directions before the chill
dren make their exit. The president
and architect said that all the school
buildings comply with the city's. fire
code. Neither of the men thought that
fire escapes were safe. In their opinion
ireproof inside stairways are the only
satisfactory means of egress.
Despite the of the wit
nesses that the schools were safe In
ease Of fire Senator Frelinghuysen
stated thai there is an element of dan
ger in the ten schools not equipped
with fire escapes
School insurance was touched on
lightly. 1t developed tina. although
