Discrepancies have been found In
the new 12,000,000 gallon pump re-
Gently installed at the Runyon
water works, according to reports
of Engineers Samuel J. Mason and
Lee Straub laid before the Board
of Water Commissioners last night.
and as result reduction of from
$500 to $500 may be made from
the price set by the makers, the
Wisconsin Engine Company. The
price flxed by the company was
SS2,226. The greater portion of
that has been paid. A warrant for
$4,000, another payment on the
pump, was ordered drawn at the
meeting last night and balance of
$4,000 remains to be paid In part
after engineers have agreed on the
deduction to be made for def1cien-
cies. Several other matters, among
them the proposition of securing
rights OF way for the new twenty
four inch main, arose last night.
Engineers Disagree Slightly.
City Surveyor Samuel j. Mason
and Engineer Lee Straub looked at
ter the test of the wisconsin pump
for the city. According to their re-
ports they disagree slightly. This
matter will be adjusted and to that
end engineers may be called in to
make determinations After that
engineers OF the pump makers will
inspect the reports and IL they dis
agree the Wisconsin Engine Com
pany may legally dispute the figures
of the local engineers. AS the ex-
pected deduction Is SO small 1t is
not expected that such action will
result.
Right of Way Agreement.
An agreement for right of way
for laying the new twenty-four-inch
main across a portion of the G.. Par
dee Works property where the main
emerges from the Raritan river on
this side, was presented and refer
red to the city attorney for his APP
proval 1t provides that in consid-
GRAFTON OF the grant the city sell
water to the Pardee concern for
seven cents per thousand gallons
Engineer Mason who presented the
agreement and said it was satisfac-
tory to the Pardee interests, deelar-
ed the Chesebrough Manufacturing
Company was willing to make
similar agreement or allow the city
