vertise and go ahead with the work.
The Mechanicsville section l am
working ON now Mr.. Mason ex-
planned Contract No. 2 took in the
upper section of the city to the city
line, including Bergen Hill, etc, and
he thought if the work was gone
ahead with considerable of it could
be completed before cold weather.
Upon motion of Mr.. Stanton the
plans and specifications were sub
mitted to the committee on sewers
to report at the adjourned meeting.
Upon motion of Mr.. Berrian~ the
clerk was instructed to communicate
with the Public Service Corporation
and the Jersey Central Traction
Company In regard to the condition
of the streets at corner of Stevens
avenue and Main street and Broad
way and Main street and request
them to put the same In proper con-
dition.
Mr.. Stanton inquired il any action
had been taken on the condition OF
George street and Second street
bridges. He was informed that the
material for repairing the bridges
was on hand.
MIR. Berrian brought up the mat
ter of the commercial lighting
throughout the city. He stated the
electric lighting in the houses and
stores WAS frightful this last few
weeks; that she had a number of
complaints and could speak person
ally as to the condition of the lights.
Mr.. Berrian made a motion that the
clerk communicate with the Mon
mouth Electric Light, Heat & Power
Company in regard to the matter
and it was carried.
The treasurer's report showed a
balance to general account of S.
ss5.32, and balance to water &C
count Of $1,946.01. 1T was ordered
received and filed.
Mr.. Manhattan asked the commit
tee On lights IL the pole On Cedar
street that was close to a fire plug
had been moved by the electric light
company. MIR. Campion stated 1t
had net yet been moved as he had
requested. but he had been and was
still endeaworing to e MIR. Johnson
and expected to have the pole prop
erly placed within the next few days.
Mayor Sculiy stated he noticed
MIR. Fersman, Woe president of the
Cantrell Construction Company,
present and he would like to ask
when he expected to complete laying
the twenty-feur-inch pipe in the bay.
Apparently we will have the re-
mainder of the sewer completed be-
fore the pipe In the bay Is complet-
ed" said the mayor, land it seems
to be going ON rather slow. To my
mind it fs being laid In a very un-
satisfactory manner"
Mr.. Forsman: THE iron pipe
work in the bay was laid from the
dock, as you know, until we got into
water where it neeessitated using a
fioat.-At that time we were just
cleaning up the balance of the work
in the town and it was delayed from
that as well as from two weeks of
bad weather. OF course when we
have east winds and it is rough it
is hard to work as the sway of the
float unjoints the pipe. We worked
today out there and had these open
joints caulked with the exception of
the last two or three lengths. | be-
lieve they have about n more haul
to make, which will take about an
hour, and then they will start work
again and with favorable conditions
| think it will take about ten days
long before the sewer is completed,
as it will take about three weeks to
get-under the railroad crossing. So
far as the alignment of the pipe is
concerned, If we should line up the
pipe and have the end raised on
skids it would get out of line again
and mean going over it again. When
we finish a piece of work like that

UP and eaulk everything up good
and tight"
