CARRY PIPE ON
LARGE FLOATS

Floats will probably be used to
convey twenty-four-inch pipe from
the railroad docks in South Amboy
to the meadows on the south shore
to be used in extending the city's
water main from Raritan river to
high ground. Commissioners Thorn
as Grieye and C. C. Sibley met with
Superintendent A. Fl. Crowell in the
water department headquarters last
night and threshed out the problem.
The work of removing it from rail-
road cars and distributing it on the
meadows will most likely be award
ed to Christian Diedricksen, accord
ing to the outcome of the confer
enCe.
Superintendent Crowell reported
that R. D. Wood & Company, of
Philadelphia, the pipe contractors,
had shipped five carloads of twenty
four-inch pipe. A total of $40 tons
of pipe, weighing 275 pounds to the
foot, will be shipped by the concern.
