publican City Council of East Orange
In caucus on Saturday night last in

e. Rowley for another term, despite
his publicly-expressed opposition to the
action, Mayor-elect Julian A. Gregory,
Of East Orange. has sent a letter
to Horace A. Bonnell, chairman of the
City Council, asking the privilege of
appealing before the councilmen before
they go into. caucus on Monday night.
The letter reached Mr.. Bonnell today.
Mr.. Gregory takes the position that
the caucus meeting on Monday night
will be merely an adjournment of the
caucus of Saturday night. and he does
not hesitate to his dissatis-
faction with the action o. the Repub-
lican ouncilmen, which he declares
practically amounts to a breach Of
faith.
He is not particularly pleased with
the rogress of municipal affairs since
his election and will have the contest
over Mr.. Rowley's reelection out with
the Council, II the latter Is willing.

REFUSE TO ENTER
WATER COMPANYS
RIPARIAN FIGHT
AS Result Bloomfield Is Told by
East Jersey Representative to
Look After Own interests.

After a long conference between Of
fcials of Nutley and Bloomfield last
night DR.. ]. L. Leal, Abacteriologist for
the East Jersey Water Company. was
informed by Mayor Sutphen, of Bloom
field, that Bloomfield Town Council
would not enter into the agreement
authorizing the Montclair Water Com
pany, a subsidiary of the East Jersey,
to take action towards condemning the
riparian rights along the Passaic river
in Paterson. This action was taken
after DR.. Leal admitted that the Mont
clair Water Company had no legal
right to take its water from the Pas
sale for the purpose of fulfilling Its
contracts with Bloomfield and other
cities and towns.
DR.. Leal had previously requested
Bloomfield and the governing bodies of
other cities and towns to pass reso-
lutions comforting on the Montclair
company the rights and powers to act
for them in the condemnation proceed
ings. At the conference in Bloomfield
last night were Mayor Lux and Coun-
cilmen De vries. Meichedel, Callahan
and Carr, of Nutley.
Mayor Sutphen said 1t was a matter
"a 'ANN LIZ III iCcutu more
light n that there was a suit now
pending in Chancery Court, the out
come of which might influence Bloom
fields action in the future. DR.. Leai
said the company would start its con-
domination. proceedings next week in
the interests of those towns and cities
which had already passed the reso-
1-tion authorizing the water company
to represent them.
1T would now be the function 81
Bloomfield" declared Dr.. LeaI, ito take
care of its wi interests, and the offer
of the Montclair Water Company to
bear the expense of contemplation is
withdrawn"
Mayor Sutphen's reply was: DIR.
Leal, the town has a contract with
your company for a supply of water.
which we expect it to carry out"
There are always two sides to a
contract" DR.. Leal answered.
This caused Councilman Walker to
ask If Bloomfield's water supply would
be shut off. "No," answered DR.. Leal.
II don't think there is any danger of
that, as the courts would not permit
such a thing" This ended the argu-
ment on the question.
