Separate Waists for Autumn.

'It is happy bit of news to most
women that fashion is not only ap-
proving but emphasizing the vogue OF
the separate waist for autumn" says
Grace Margaret Gould in Woman's
Home Companion. The costume
blouse will divide honors with the
shirtwaist and women the world over
will be glad. The versatility Of the
separate waist, as far as usefulness
goes, is we'll known. and this coming
season it will add to its practical and
economical qualities an unusual meas
ure of good looks. In the guise of a
costume blouse 1t will lend its charm
and Effectiveness to the plain tailored
suit, making it appropriate for many
varied ocrasions."

WATER FROM
POND IS USED
Department Finds 1t keCes-
sary to Use 1t Occasionally,
Due to Low Level.
OF THE GROUND STORAGE

Superintendent A. H. Crowell of
the water department stated today
that the level of the ground storage
supply was so low that it had been
necessary to use the pond supply
several times during the past week in
order to maintain a sufficient pres
sure to reach the high parts of the
city. The pond was used Saturday
all day but was not needed Sunday
as the consumption was not so
heavy. On Monday the pond had to
be used again but yesterday the
storage wells had gained sufficiently
to supply the demand.
The pond supply may have to be
used again todaJ or tomorrow If the
consumption is heavy. Unless a GER
tain pressure is maintained the high
parts of the city cannot get water.
The past year has been exceptionally
dry and for this reason the level OF
the ground storage is very low. A
few heavy rains would relieve the
conditions but, unless they are forth
coming, the pond supply may have
to be resorted to from time to time
until the new extension of sixteen
wells to the ground storage system is
in use. The extension work has been
advertised and bids will be received
by the water board next Wednesday
night.
There are two pumps at Runyon,
Worthington and a Snow. The
former draws from the ground stor-
age system while the Snow is con
nected with the pond. When the
ground storage system is out of or
der, or q break occurs in the Worth
ington, the Snow is used to send the
pond water to this city. On Satur-
day and Monday both pumps We're
used together, one pumping the pond
water and the other from the ground
storage system, which was necessary
to supply the city. The ground stor'
age water is a clear blush white
while the pond water has a slight dis
coloration. The slight difference il
the appearance and taste Saturday
and Monday was noticed by many
but, until superintendent Crowel
explained matters this morning, few
knew the real cause.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, Jan. 12:-That
County Collector II. Raymond Groves
proposes carrying the fight against
Theodore Strnog, which waxed warm
at the recent gathering of the repub-
lican county committee, higher up
was admitted by Mr. Groves yester-
day. He declared that he or some
one else would endeavor to have Mr.
Strong ousted from the state COM
mittee of the party, basing their ac-
tion upon the way the campaign was
conducted here last fall.
The Carson-Conger-Groves faction
then claimed the defeat of the repub-
lican county ticket, the democrats
electing everything but coroner and
one member of the board of free
holders, was due to treachery on the
part of the Strong faction. The
Strong candidates were beaten at the
primaries with the exception of the
county clerk, former Senator w. H.
c. Jackson getting the nomination
over former County Clerk John H.
Conger, and two of the assembly can
didates, Messrs. Won Minden and
Voorhees, of the Strong ticket win
ming.
At the election it was openly
charged that the Strong forces did
not exert themselves toward the cleo
tion of the old Board of Freeholders
and but one of the number, William
S. Dey, of South Amboy, won out. II
was claimed the Strong workers con-
centrated their strength in the elec-
ton of Jackson and he was downed
by a big majority by County Clerk
Bernard NJ. Cannon.
Mr.. Groves and his hackers now
propose having Strong fired off the
republican state committee. 1t is
said one OF the charges against him
will be that his workers circulated
republican tickets with a democratic
paster over the name of Judge z. w.
Hicks, who was running for senator
against Senator George S. Silzer.
Judge Hicks was not the first choice
of the Strong crowd, DR.. Henry, OF
Perth Amboy, being first favored fol
that place. From present indications
there will be little harmony in the
republican ranks in Middlesex eoun
| ty for some time.

NEW MEMBER, F. ]. cox

The monthly meeting of the
Board of Trustees of the Public
Library was held last night with
Fred J. Cox in the chair left vacant
by Edward j. Mccormick, formerly
secretary of the board. Both annual
and monthly reports were received
from the librarian, Miss E. H. Null
ligan, showing material increases in
circulation during the past year
over all other years and increases
in adult circulation the past month
over the corresponding month OF
the previous year.
All of the commissioners were
present. DR.. F. w. Kitchel acted as
secretary and Mr.. Cox was later
chosen as secretary to fill out the
unexpired term of Edward J. Nc
Cormick, which will expire in May.
Bills amounting to S339.79 were
audited and ordered paid. Next
month the board will meet on the
second Monday night, instead of the
second Tuesday, according to reso-
Hutton presented by DR.. Kitchel.

In the librarians annual report, a
lengthy one, the work of the past
year was compared with other years.
1t shows the circulation of the insti-
tuition the past twelvemonth to have
/ been 50,1S5, as against 1852 in
1908. In 1900 the. circulation was

reported last year, there have been
added 790 volumes the past year,

after deducting Ala. The report
tells of the attractiveness of the
reading and reference rooms, where
newspapers, magazines and refer
ence books are displayed. Accord
ing to the report, 1892 readers en-
joyed the comforts of the reading
room, showing a gain over the
patronage it received the previous
year.

REPORT is PRESENTED
BY Mr.. HARRINGTON
New Board Of Education
Files the Document After
Hearing 1t Read.

According to written report
submitted to the Board of Education
last night by s. R. Harrington, q
member Of the 1909 board, the
Christman Sons piano firm Of New
York refuses to refund to the city
$3.50 for an alleged overcharge on
five pianos purchased several months
ago. The report contained letter
signed by NJ. G. Larson and Mr..
Harrington, special committee OF
the former board, to the piano firm
asking for $3.50 on the ground that
a responsible dealer in Newark had
offered to sell the same instruments
to the city for 5 $50, instead OF
$1,000.
The report also contained the re-
ply of Christman Sons, which stated
that they had dealt literally and
honorably with the board The firm
denied that any Newark dealer
could furnish pianos on the lines,
grade or specifications of those fur
nished this city. They referred to
the statement as Incredible and
reckless.
President Sheehy said that, while
he didn't see where the board had
any jurisdiction in the matter, he
was willing to have ii read II there
were no objections Secretary Col
yer said that MIR Harrington had
handed it to him before the meeting
and asked if he would read it. On
motion of Commissioner Gridley the
report was ordered received and
placed on file.

THE DECISIONS RENDERED

The Middlesex County Board for
the Equalization of Taxes sat at city
hall this morning to hear number

journed these two until later date,
when they will be taken up at New
Brunswick.
The appeal of the Lehigh Valley

for the company and, after submit
ting a certified map showing that the
properties had been assessed by the
state board, he asked to have the To-

NEW MEMBERS
TO HELP ELECT
Board Of Trade Postponed
Election of Officers Until
Next Week.
AN ADJOURNED MEETING

Owing to the fact that a large
number of new members were elect
ed to the Board of Trade last night,
it was decided to hold an adjourned
meeting next Tuesday night to elect
officers so that the newly-elected
members may have vote as to who
the officers shall be.
Some discussion took place as to
the right of company to join the
organization without the name of
any member of that concern men
toned. 1t was decided that as the
heads of many of the concerns in
this vicinity lived elsewhere 1t would
be proper to admit the company to
mem bership.
H. e. Pickersgill Is now the solic-
itor for the board and the result of
his work was manifested last night
when it was reported that large
number of dues had been paid in
advance.
Rules and regulations for the far
mers market were discussed. AL
though this is now in the hands of
the Board of Aldermen it was stated
that there was some complaint as to
the way the farmers spend the day
on the site and keep the street con-
tinually dirty. 1t was held by some
that there should be a limited num-
ber of hours for the market. 1t is
probable that the matter may be pre-
sented to the Board of Aldermen in
the shape of a set of rules for them
to adopt or reject as they see fit.
Reports of committees were re-
ceived and routine business was
transacted last night. There was
some discussion as to the advisable
ity of postponing the election of off,
GERS, but 1t was finally decided to
do SO. All the new members will be
urged to be present and as many Of
the old ones as possible.
