SOUTH RIVER
TO FIX RATES
Use of Water and Sewer
Systems Call Meeting.
sDeciqlt to Tie EVENING NEWS.

South River, Aug IA meeting
of the mayor and council and adyis-
DRY committee viii be held in Dor
ough hall tomorrow evening. This
meeting is for the special purpose of
fixing upon a price for the use Of the
water and sewer systems, and to
arrange a plan whereby every likely
consumer can be connected with the
water mains al once and the streets
of the town dug up within a reason
able time and not at odd times with
in the next several months.
1t is obvious to every resident
here that this matter of fixing the
price for the use of water IS very
important. The mayor and council
are very anxious that the price be
made as low as possible, and surely
as low as any ef the towns or cities
in this section. The supply Of water
is unlimited and, at a price which
is fair and reasonable, there is no
reason why all bOusehOlders, as well
as ~hotelkeepers and manufacturers,
should not be in a position within a
. very short time to use all the water
they might need at a price which
will make the yearly rental very low.
1t is very urgently requested that
all citizens who have any interest in
the success of our improvements,
and in the matter of having our
streets in shape again in a short
, time, attend this meeting so that a
thorough understanding will be
, reached and the tapping of the mains
may proceed.
There will also be figures present
! ed in connection with the charges
now made for water by New Bruins
: wick, South Amboy, Perth Amboy,
Keyport, Matawan and other places.

whether you are a member of the
advisory committee or not.
