BALLENT|NE SUIT
ADJOURNS EARLY
Testimony All in and Summing
Up viii Be Heard
Tomorrow.

An adjournment until tomorrow in
the $4,000 suit of p. Ballantine & Sons
against the Public Service Corporation
in the Supreme Court Circuit was
taken today. Judge Nelson Y. Dun
gan notified counsel earlier IN the
week that he would be out of town
this afternoon, Both plaintiff and de-
PENDANT have rested their cases and
tomorrow morning VIII be given to
summing up.
That the water from the Ballantine
wells, which are alleged to have been
polluted by gas tar, was as pure when
filtered as Newark city water was the
statement of DR.. H. b. Baldwin, city
chemist, who was called as witness
by the Public Service.
Robert e. Milligan, president of a
New York filtration and Analysing
company, was also called to tell of
analysis his firm had made and of
negotiations which had been made by
the Ballantine company to install a
filtering system in their plant after
the pollution was discovered.
His tests showed, In his opinion,
that the water could be purified, but
the officials of the company did not
think the results justified the In
stallation of such a plant, the wit
ness declared.
The color of the water from the
wells after filtration was but IL on
platinum cobalt scale, while New
ark's city water was rs, thus show
ing, he averred, that the we'll water
was purer.
C. C. Vermeule, consulting engineer
of the Geological Survey of New Jer-
sey, was called by the plaintiffs In re-
buttal. He said that he had advised
against the installation of filtering
plant because he considered 1t
Commercial impracticability.' He
also refuted the testimony of the Pub
lie Service witnesses that the tar
could be drawn from the Passaic
river into the wells. But one well,
Mr.. Vermeule said, and that near the
river on made" ground drew the poll
luton from the river. The other wells
were on natural ground. and did not
draw from the river, he asserted.
Edward H. Ernshaw, assistant gen.
eral manager of the Public Service
Gas Company, and DR.. Daniel D.
Jackson, professor of chemistry at
Columbia University, were called to
testify along the same lines by the
defendants.

Sealers to Seek Legislation
to Enforce New Basket Law

State Sealer of Weights and Meas
ures William Waldron and city and
county sealers from. all parts of the
State attended the conference held
in City Sealer John H. Sullivan's
office yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of discussing amendments to
the new basket law which becomes
operative November 1. It was decided
to have legislation introduced at the
next session of the Legislature on the
proposition.
The new law makes it Illegal to sell
from baskets other than standard
size. but the attorney general has
given Mr.. Wa1dron an opinion that
the law will be practically impossible
of enforcement because no penalty
is provided. The law, however, will
be operative in this city because
there is a city ordinance covering it.
Mr.. Waldron explained the various
points of the new law to the sealers,
who piled him with questions con-
corning its provisions.
Among those present was Nicholas
Tierney. representing the local pro-
duce men. MIR. Tierney took a keen
interest in the proceedings and was
called upon several times to give his
views in the matter. It was decided
to hold the next State convention in
Atlantic City
