for it's softness. If placed in water,
be told the commissioners, it would
readily harden again.
To keep the more recently laid
twenty-four-inch main from the de-
structive action of the mud, con-
crete piers two or three feet high
will be built One pier will support
every second length of pipe. The
weight of the pipe will be reckoned
with the supporting capabilities of
the mud, and a base for the support
will be built in accordance. The
mud, Engineer Mason said. will bear
five pounds weight to the square
inch.
When asked whether or not the
piers would be laid within the next
year, Commissioner Grieve answered
in the affirmative. Something has
to be done quickly, he said, to save
the main. The matter will probably
be taken up at the next meeting Of
the Water Board.
Atlantic City is experiencing a
similar difficulty with it's mains
Commissioner Grieve was appointed
as a committee to view the Atlantic
City mains and ascertain how off,
cials there intend to get around the
trouble. Commissioner Haney or
Superintendent Crowell will proba-
bly, accompany him.

NEW "a INCH
MAIN MAY BE
LAID IN RIVER
Plans Discussed by Water
Board Last Niqht--Wou!d
Cost S65, GOO.
ACTION is PROBABLE AT
The NEXT MEETING

II present plans of the Board of
Water Commissioners do not mis-
carry, new twenty-four-inch water
main will be laid under the Raritan
river, connecting with the old pres
ent main on both shores; and the
sixteen-inch main, now affording
such difficulties, will be used as an
auxiliary and only in cases Of neces-
sity. City Engineer Mason, at the
Board Of Water Commissioner meet
Ing last night, submitted sketch of
the proposed main, but because two
of the commissioners were absent,
discussion and possible action was
deferred until the next meeting.
Laying the main, according to En-
gineer Mason, will necessitate the
expenditure of about $65, 900. If
approved by the Board of Aldermen
and the mayor the main will be laid
after bond issue for the amount.
In laying the course for the pipe,
the engineer has altogether avoided
the acidulent mud flats on the South
Amboy shore which have proven so
destructive to the mains now cross
ing them. The course lies, on this
side, along Sheridan street, west of
the Jersey Central Traction Com
pany's tracks; under the bridge, and
parallel, on the east, with the trac-
tion company's trestle; to the sandy
ground near the county bridge ap-
proach.
Three months, Engineer Mason
said, would be required to lay the
main. 1t is proposed to connect it
with the present twenty-four-inch
main several hundred feet from the
bridge on each side of the river.
Both mains under the river would
then be used and the old and small
er pipe would be discontinued, oper-
ated only in cases of emergency.
The new main will have a capacity
Of 10000 gallons

J. Walter Dorsey was given the

TEN and Carl c. Christensen for
erecting a fue in the police depart
ment of city hall, at a special meet
ing Of the Board of Aldermen last
night Contractor Dorsey will in
stall a Model boiler in the cellar Of
the police department for 1886. Con-
tractor Christensen bid for erecting
a new fue, constructing two col
umns and doing other work in the
cellar of the north end of city hall,
was $115.
Other bids were as follows: Kelly
g. McAlinden, s423 for installing a
Richardson & Boynton sectional
boiler, and $453 for installation of
Thatcher or Model boiler; James F.
Burns & Son, s473 for installing
boiler, ETC., according to specifica-
tons; A. M. Smith & Brother. S547
for installation of boiler, etc, ac-
cording to specifications. Walter G..
Quackenbush was the only other
bidder on the mason work. He asked
$153.
Dorsey. the successful contractor,
asked S869 for installation of a
Thatcher boiler, for which the city
would have to build pit. He bid
1886 for a Model boiler, which he
agrees to have installed in complete
shape by September IT.
Alderman Seaman secured the es-
Inmates, because the council deemed
an additional heating system abso-
lutely necessary in the city hall.
Last winter the boiler In the south
erly section of city hall was pushed
to the limit in order to heat the
northerly section, which contains the
police department. Oftentimes the
latter department was cold, be-
cause the capacity Of the boiler was
not sufficient to heat that part, while
at the same time there would be a
lot of wasted heat in the southerly
end of the building. Now comes a
third floor in the building which
must also be heated by the present
boiler. BY installing a separate
system In the police section of the
building that department can run
and regulate 1t to suit, and at the
same time the other offices will be
receiving more moderate heat from
the present system.
John Friker was last night made
special policeman for duty at the
Ostergaard Tile Works, to serve
without pay from the city.

New York, Aug. 18:-The tidings
from Oyster Bay that Roosevelt
has broken with Taft has carried
away much of the haze which has
obscured the political horizon the
past few weeks. Although the state
ment of Roosevelt's stand in relation
to the Presidents administration did
not take the form of quoted remarks
which is none the less authoritated.
icePresident Sherman's remarks
at Beverly yesterday that the turn
ing down of Roosevelt by the New
York State Republican Committee
could only be construed "as a vic
tory for the administration" is re-
to declaration of hostiiities against
them by the present administration.
From the fact that Clifford Pin
chot and Mr.. Murdoch are both
knOwa to have been consulted by
Roosevelt on the text of the latters
Ossowatomie speech August 81,
seems to be considered ground for
the prediction that this occasion will
be the one on which Roosevelt will
make his first public profession of
faith as an out-insurgent.
The prediction is freely made that
the next few days will see the lines
clearly drawn between the forces of
conservatism, headed by Presi-
dent Taft, and "radicalism," led by
Roosevelt, and each member of the
party will be forced to choose sides
In the fight to determine which ele-
ment will dominate.
