STORAGE PLACE
Is ADVOCATED
Supt. CroweII Makes Recon-
msndati0n to Water Board

That the water department needs
suitable grounds and building for
storage purposes. repair work and
the sheltering of its vehicles and
horses was set forth In a petition
presented to the Water Board last
night by A. II. Crowell. s~uperintend-
ent of the department. He stated In
the communication that there has
been and is an urgent need for q
proper place for the storage of pipes,
castings, hydrants and for the sys-
tematic storage, testing and repair
ing of meters, and a suitable build
ing needed for the harboring of the
departments two horses, three
wagons and one auto truck. He con-
tended that the service OF the de-
partment had grown to such an ex-
tent that the old conditions were en-
tirely ~infeasible for the above, not
considering the additions to the de-
partment which he anticipates.
Now the present quarters for stor-
ing, etc, are In the city yard In State
street, but its limited area makes II
necessary for the apparatus and sup
plies OF the department to be piled
and stored throughout the city OF
vacant lots, many of which are W
ed by private individuals. He sug-
gested that the location of new quar-
tiers for the department should be III
a central part of the city. The mat
ter was discussed by the commission
ers. who seemed to look with favor
or the plan. 1t a finally referred
to the committee of a whole.

by the board several months ago
when the commissioners talked
about procuring property In King
street. The Amboy Works then of
fered a part of their property fou
sale to the city for this purpose. The
offer was considered. but never &C
cepted.
The superintendent also presenter
his annual report. but before 1t II
accepted the commissioners though
II best that 1t should include an In
ventory OF the plant; that Is. tho
original cost less the depreciation, s,
that a knowledge OF Its present value
can be learned before it is entered
with the annual reports of othel
boards In the city manual. Those ap
pointed to gain this data were as fol

inventory will give the value of tn
plant on January 1, 1913.
A petition asking for the ~extensio~
of the twelve-inch water mali
which runs to Hall avenue, to tn
Barber Asphalt Paving Company
plant at Maurer, was received by tn
Board of Water Commissioners fron
that company last night. 1t was re
ferred to the pipe committee. TIL
claims that several time
1911 and 1912 the plant had
to stop operation because of the poor
pressure of water. Last month they
experienced the same trouble, and as
they have added 1900 horsepower
to their boiler plant they anticipate
more Inconvenience. They stated in
the communication that there are
two eight-inch mains running out to
that district which connect directly
with the American Smelling q Re-
ining Company's plant. One or the
mains Is extended to the Barber

works, but after the United Lead
Company and the smelling works are
supplied. they contend when the sup
ply is insufficient they get what re-
mains. which is not enough pressure
TO discharge the water into their feed
pipes. They believe with the extern
sion OF the twelve-inch main the
plants in their vicinity and those
likely to come would be assured of a
plentiful water supply.
A petition signed by Wendell
Komosko and four other residents
asked the board to lay a water main
in Brace avenue from Amboy avenue
TO Cornell street. 1t was referred to
the same committee as the former
petition.
