WHOLE NO. 1888

has been completed, and Council voted
to pay 5000 last evening.
The Commissioner of Public Safety
and the Commissioner of Streets and
Highways, each presented complete
reports of the affairs of their depart
ments.
City Comptroller Barton F. Sharp
presented very complete statement
showing the financial condition of the
city at the close of business July 31st
1911.
The actual city balance of the
General Fund aud Water Account at
the present time is SOL, 454.65 and of
this $50, $50, is drawing interest at
three per cent. divided among the four
banking institutions of the city.
On motion of Mr.. Mulford, the
President appointed a special com
mittee, with power to act, in regard
to the placing of an arc lamp near the
plant of the Hess Steel Company.
Under direction of the President,
the Clerk opened the sealed proposals
for the section of the Water Filtration
plant, which applies to the building
and Filters and the filter equipment.
This is the section as subdivided for
which Council asked new bids, under
the recommendation of their engineer
Mr.. Clyde Potts.
Bids were received from:
New York Continental Jewell Filtra-
tion Company, New York.
Pitts Construction Company, of
Pittsburg, Pa.
G. II. Peckwortb, of New York.
Atlantic Construction Co., of At
lantic City.
Roberts Filter Mfg. Co., of Darby,
Pa.
The bids will be tabulated and
Council will meet again next Monday
evening to receive the report of their
engineer.
The impression gained from the
figures as they apply to the different
items, IS that the bids are at very
wide variance with each other.
On motion of Mr.. Whitaker the
Comptroller was directed to return the
checks which accompanied the un-
successful bidders on the bond issues.
On motion the $500, which was
charged against the Park Appropria.
tion ut the last meeting, in payment
of the Smalley lease rental, was re-
turned to that account, and the amount
charged against the Sundry Ap-
preparation.
. Mr.. Leslie, assistant engineer in
charge of the Sewage Plants, stated
that the work was progressing at both
plants, with machinery already in
stalled at Glass street, and on the
ground for the Vine street plant.
1t is expected that the disposal
plants will be finished and the con-
nections made, so that the system may
be placed in actual working operation
by the first of September.
This morning President of Council,
John N. Glaspell and members Lewis
johnson and Arthur c. Whitaker, to-
gether with Commissioner of Public
Works Woodruff, left for Philadelphia
to inspect installations of pumping
engines and machinery, for the water
filtration plant.

The stated meeting of City Council
for the month of August falls on the
first day and their session last evening
was very busy and important one.
: President of Council, John N.
Glaspell was in the chair and all of
the members were present when the
roll was called.
In that section of Council chamber
reserved for visitors were q number
of gentlemen interested in the opening
of the bids under the advertisement
for the Water Filtration plant and
also representatives. ..of bond houses in
terested in the bids for the $50 900,
sewer bond issue and the $75, 900 water
bond issue. Immediately following
the reading and approval of the
minutes of the last meeting the bids
for the bond issues were opened by
City Comptroller Barton F. Sharp.
As tabulated the bids for the entire
issue of $125, 600, on a basis of $1OO
par value and premium, are
Cumberland National Bank,
Bridgeton, N. j., $103. 25
A., B. Leach & Co., New York ---"-
City, $1O3. II
Merchants Union Trust Co.,
Philadelphia, $1O2 So
R. M. Grant & Co., New
York City, $102. 22
Wurtz, Dulles & Co., Philadel-
phia, Pa, $102. 90
Harris, Forbes & Co., New
York City, S1O1 80
The Cumberland National Bank
being the highest bidders, they were
upon motion of Mr. Whitaker awarded
the bond issue
The purchase by the Oldest banking
institution in the county, is a most
satisfactory one from every standpoint
and one which will meet with the
approval Of every citizen.
From the standpoint of the City of
Bridgeton, the purchase by the local
institution of these two important
bond issues, is practically vote of
approval of the two big city improve
ments and amounts to an endorsement
of both 1t is also an evidence of
the credit which the city enjoys and
the sound basis of its finances, when
they can receive premium amounting
to SS.2 on every one hundred dollars
for bonds sold on AZ per cent. in.
terest rate.
The bonds bear date July list, and
will he coupon bonds in $500 and 81, 0O0
denomination, with the privilege of
full registration. Should the Cumber
land Bank care to do SO, there is little
doubt but that practically the entire
issue could be sold to local investors,
to whom the Az interest rate and the
guaranteed safety of the issues would
appeal.

Council for two automobile garages

DR. /. Z. Charlesworth addressed
Council and presented a communica-
tion from the Board of Health of the
City of New York, in which they
stated that it was impossible to
furnish vaccine for the treatment of
rabies. When the first cases were
reported it was thought that it might
be possible to secure the treatment for
$25 per each person from the New
York authorities, but it afterward
became necessary to purchase the
vaccine from the Alexander Co., at
Marietta, Pa, at the rate of $50 per
person.

held in semi darkness with only the
dim glimmer of an artificial moon
