INTEREST STEADILY INCREASING IN ACQUIRING
IRRIGATION SYSTEM TO MAKE EXTENSIONS

There is Increasing evidence of the
determination of the people of the en-
tire valley to stand behind the direc-
tors of the irrigation system almos.
unanimously in an effort to acquire the
property on a basis that will give the
people title beyond all question.
The fact is recognized by everybody
that the system is not being improved
and extended as rapidly as ii should be
and that there is no prospect of the
improvements taking place rapidly
enough until the main supply system
is in the hands of some organization or
corporation that can proceed unham-
pered in its work.
As the California Development com
pany now stands, it is not only in the
hands Of a receiver, but its affairs are
tangled by conflicting interests, all of
which it is now believed can be gath
cred together and put into shape IN
which the people can take up the work
without any question of title.
The Press has adhered to the propo-
sition that this valley cannot afford
10 make a deal which implies the as
sumption Of litigation by the people.
and II now looks as though the system
might be acquired in way which
would wipe out all danger on this
score
There are five recognized claimants
against the California Development
company system, the southern Pacific
railroad, the New Liverpool salt works.
the Jones group of claimants. the bond
holders and the stockholders Should
any one of this series of claimants
against the company be ignored in the
process of gathering the ends together.
there is no question that litigation
would be a possibility and almost a
certainty.
These facts are recognized by the
men who are steering the irrigation
district, and they are working to brin ?
about an understanding with all the
parties
There is reason why this work should
pe put through soon as possible. far
IL Is recognized that the irrigated area
IS growing beyond the CAPACITY of tba
main canal and that there must ba
construction work on the main supplv
system long before the entire half mil
non acres in the district is brought nm
der cultivation. while certain amount
ot work must be done before the newt
heavy irrigation period. or the carry
ing capacity of the canals will he IL
sufficient.
Imperial Valley press., 1912-11-16

No country that ever grew rapidly
avoided the meeting of problems. and
this valley, developing with wonderful
strides, cannot now be checked through
lack of complete control of it's irriga-
tion supply.
1t appears to the Press that the
Southern Pacific officials have mani
tested a disposition to meet the people
of the valley half way in working out
the plans for transferring the irriga-
ton system TO the district, and with
the other claimants satisfied, there is
no reason why prompt action cannot
be taken.
This being the case, it is fortunate
that the directorate of the district is
made up of a body of conservative
men who have the confidence of the
entire valley.

MERCHANT HELD
ON ARSON CHARGE
Witness Declares Oil Was
Found in His Store on !
Day of Fire.

Isador Schiller, of 1896 Springfield
avenue was held in $1,000 bail for
the grand jury today on a charge of
arson.
He is alleged to have set fire to his
five. ten and nineteen-cent store, at
Springfield and Falrmount avenues,
on September q.
He was given a formal hearing to-
day in the Fourth Precinct Police
Court. Battalion Fire Chief Matthew
p. A. McDermitt testified that he
had found oil in large quantities in
the store.
There was more than could have
come from broken bottles of ma
chine oil" he said. SCHILLER also told
me hat the fire had started in the
cellar. There is nothing to show that
it did so. So far as ] could find out,
it started to the right of the door
way"
Nathan Roth, II years old, of 3S4
Springfield avenue, gave testimony in
regard to Schiller's actions immedi-
ately after the fire. which did s 4 1000
damage to his store. Henry Hahn
represented the prisoner.

The new deputy chiefs are Mathew

They will be assigned to their re-
spective divisions later, at which
time headquarters will be provided
for each. The vacancies in the ranks
of the battalion chiefs, caused by the
promotions, will probably be filled by
CAPTAINS George F. Lynch and Denis
Guidera, who head the civil service
eligible list.
The new appointments were made
by the commissioners after they had
been called into conference with
Mayor Haussling, who had on hand
data on the heads of departments
situated like Newark. He expressed
the opinion that there should be no
time lost in bringing the department
to its highest efficiency. The new
orders were passed by the commits
sioners without comment.
A severe reprimand and a fine of
five days pay was dealt out to Fire
man Robert Clark, of Engine Com

rules.

ARONSON AVOID
NATIONAL ISSUES
Says City Problem Is Enough
to Engross His En-
tire Energy.

National issues are not a source OF
worry TO Louis V. Aronson, Republic
can candidate for mayor, at this time,
A statement to this effect was issued
from his headquarters today.
The statement, which in a measure
can be taken as ans appeal for the
Progressive Republican vote, states
that Mr.. Aronson will expend none
of his energy in advocating the cause
OF any national candidate.
Some time ago Mr.. Aronson was
asked whether he would advocate the
denomination of the President and,
incidentally, attack the head of the
third party ticket. To this he replies
that the interests of this city are
enough to engross his whole energy
His statement follows:
"Since my election as candidate FOL
mayor by the Republican voters, !
have received numerous inquiries,
particularly from the third party pro-
gressives, as to my attitude IN ma
tional political affairs. Some of these
progressives have asked me whether,
in my campaign addresses | would
advocate the denomination of the
President, and, incidentally, attack the
head of the third party ticket.
my answer is unequivocal. | de-
sire the support of the progressives,
and have the best of n a
I shall receive it. l am nominated as
a Republican. / have been a Repup-
lean ever since / could vote. | stand
for progressiveness in everything.
II am not running for President of
the United States. | am running for
MAYOR of Newark. The interests of
this great city are enough 70 engross
nv whole energy. There is no need,
therefore, that l should expend any
of this energy in advocating the
cause of any national candidate.
by taking this attitude | do not

on both shoulders. ! am simply drop
ping what to me and to my cause is
unessential, in order to bring about u

Importance and benefit to us in oar
local affairs.
Nov Is our chance. If we get to
gether, we can win a victory that
will mean more to the city of New
ark than anything else that coulu
possibly be accomplished at this
time. | realize that, in appealing for
the undivided support of both the
Republican and Progressive parties,
| am in a rather delicate position.

Jerseyites Accompany En-
gineers on Inspection Trip
to Kills and Bay.
SURVEYORS REPORT Is
in FAVOR OF PROJECT
Thirty-Foot Waterway Will
Give Jersey 5000, 900 Pop
ulation, Is Predicted.

Following a conference at the Cham
Der of Commerce in New York yes.
terday, members of thes government
board of engineers for rivers and har-
bors and representatives of several OF
the railroads and boards of trades in
New Jersey and manufacturing in
terests of New Jersey made a voyage
of inspection along the XIII Won Kull
Arthur Kill and Raritan Bay, in con-
n~ection with the plan to procure from
the government an appropriation OF
$50, 000, 900 to widen and deepen the
ship channels in those waterways.
Several of the local organizations,
principally the Board of Trade, have
been fighting for some time past to
secure deeper waterways and some
time ago a State organization was
effected to take this matter in charge.
George r. Reeve represented the
Board of Trade at yesterdays con-
ference.
A survey of the waterways in ques-
tion has already been made by a dis
trict surveyor, and his report is
favorable to the project. He recon-
mends a channel thirty feet deep at
mean low water, with a width OF 1900
feet across Raritan bay to opposite
Smith street, Perth Amboy, thence
400 feet wide through Arthur Kill to
the east end of Shooters Island, and
then 500 feet wide to deep water in
the upper bay.
The estimated cost of this project
is SIS, S82, 900, of which 81, 1888, 900 is for
the channel across Raritan bay to
Perth Amboy. The estimate for man
tenanee of the proposed channel is
5000, 900, of which $3.50, 900 is for the
channel across Raritan bay.
The surveyor also reported that if
suitable turning basins were pro-
vided, including one near the lower
end of Arthur Kill channel. so that
vessels could enter and depart via
the XIII Won Kull entrance, the cost
of the channel across Raritan bay
would be saved. 1t was after re-
ceiving this report that the board de-
cided to confer with those in back of
the project.
1t was practically the unanimous
opinion of the merchants that the
thirty-foot channel is absolutely
necessary to make the waterway IA
question of real commercial value.
Many predicted that if this work is
carried out that within ten years the
combined population of the Jersey
towns in this vicinity would be
10, 900, 900.
