zation committee shows the group
ings of the various member banks.

SUBJECT
NOT TAKEN UP
Believed FreehoIders Will Act
Thursday on Convery Place.

Despite the statements made bv
freeholders to a delegation from this
city at New Brunswick last Thursday
morning, no action was taken by the
Board of Freeholders upon plans for
the proposed Convery place bridge
at the session yesterday. 1t is under
stood that a discussion over the re-
ceipt of but one bid for the proposed
court house repairs and several other
subjects took up so much of the
officials time that the Convery place
plans were not reached. Efforts to
reach the freeholders aand County
Engineer Fox today to question them
concerning the subject proved futile,
as the officials were in Trenton in
conference with State Road Commits
sioners Stevens concerning roads in
MiddleseX county.
When members of the Perth Am
boy Board of Trade and the Western
Improvement Association, together
with other local residents, appeared
before the Board of Freeholders last
Thursday with an appeal for quick
action on the bridge matter, they
were informed that the plans had
been completed and that a resolution
would be passed on Monday, June 8
to approve the plans and authorize
their issuance for bids. The several
subjects which came before the Off
cials yesterday and which resulted in
considerable discussion, are believed
to have consumed so much time that
the bridge matter could not be
touched upon. 1t is believed that il
will be taken up and that the resolu-
tion in question will.be passed when
the board convenes again on Thurs
day of this week.

WATER PRESSURE
IS MUCH BETTER
Million Gallons Lost Daily by
Leak in Main.

The residents of the highland or
northwestern section of the city are
receiving a good supply of water now
since the repairing of the old twen-
ty-four inch main in the Raritan riv-
er by the Merritt-Chapman Derrick
and. Wrecking Company. The pres
sure, shown by the meter at city
ball has risen from it's usual mark
around thirty pounds in the evening
when the manufacturers are not
making heavy drafts on the mains, to
around fifty pounds. According to
Superintendent Thomas Grieve, of
the water department, the repairing
of the twenty-four inch main has
meant a saving of about a million
gallons of water day that was flow
ing out of the leaks in the line into
the river
Though the two twenty-four inch
mains were inspected last fall by
divers, number of leaks were found
one of which let out an enormous
amount of water. The leaks were
mostly around the joints of the main.
The twenty-four inch main, which
was laid In the last few years, was
not found to be defective, the leaks
being confined to the original twen-
ty-four inch conduit
Though the residents of the north
western section of the city are re-
ceiving a sufficient supply of water
since the repairing of the main, there
will still be need for the steel stand
pipe, which is being erected in the
northeast corner of the poor farm.
This will give the users in that vi
cinity normal supply of water
throughout the day, irrespective of
, how heavy the draft on the water
are made by the manufactures dur
ing during the day, and give an ade-
Quate pressure at all times for the
fire hydrants. During the past six
months the residents of this section
could get little or no water during
the day.
The water commissioners may to-
night award contracts for the fur
n1shing and laying of 1900 feet of
thirty-inch main between the Runyon
waterworks and the standpipe at
Ernston. They may decide to let the
furnishing and laying in one con-
tract, in which event Ira r. Grouse
may receive the award. The consid-
Grafton Of bids submitted were con-
sidered by the board Friday night
and referred back to the committee
of the whole to report to the board
at an adjourned meeting tonight

FINAL JUNE BUDGET
S24,800 MORE THAN
LAST YEARS TOTAL
Trade Board Gets $500 to Ad-
yertise City-S11O,OOO ADD
ed for Schools $1,000
More to General Amounts.
ALDERMEN MET LAST NIGHT

Budget figures for 1914 as COM
pleted at the meeting of the Board
OF Aldermen last night, show an in
crease of $24,800 for the year over
the total amount of appropriations
for 1913. The aldermen added
800 to the general amounts, in
cIeasing the total from $173,450 to
STA, $50, and added $4,000 for
school repairs, maintenance and for
manual training, bringing the total
amount of appropriations for 1914
up to S284,950 as compared with
$3.50, 150 for 1918. The action was
taken by Introduction of an ordi-
nance to amend an ordinance intro
duced and passed on its first read
ing on December 8, 1913.
The items added last night were:
81, 900 for the Board of Harbor
Commissioners; $500 for the Perth
Amboy Board of Trade with which
to advertise the city, and $4,000
for public schools. OF the latter
amount $104, 900 is designed for
the repairing and maintenance Of
public schools and $4,000 for con-
ment. The total of $110,0 900 is an
increase of $4,000 over the school
appropriation for last year; thus the
increase in the general budget for
the year over 1913 Is s.
No provision was made last night
for Fourth of July appropria ton OF
$500, as has been customary during
the past few years. 1t was stated
among the aldermen after the meet
ing, that such an amount would
probably be taken from some fund,
probably contingent, to aid in boost
ing the safe and sane celebration.
The addition of $1,000 to the public
playground account, making it $2,-
500 for the year, was provided for
in time to get it on the December
budget, although 1t was not carried
when the figures were first intro
duced
The ordinance providing for the
additional appropriations was passed
on It's first reading without a dissent
ing vote.
An ordinance to provide for the is
suance of water bonds in the
| amount of 100000 was passed by a
vote of six to one, Alderman F. Will
liam Hilker voting in the negative.
Mr.. Hilker is an enthusiast for a mu-
nicipal electrical plant In this city
and he contends that the water de-
partment should be more selfsustain-
ing than it is. He will endeavor to
prove to other aldermen, city Off
Gals and the public in general to-
morrow night, the benefits of a mu-
nlclpal electrical plant here There
will be an open meeting of the al
| dermen for that purpose, commence
ing at o'clock tomorrow night.

Considering Mediation.

Special bU United Press Wire
Vera Cruz, June 9.-Dictator
Huerta, his minister of war, Gen.
Banquet and the remnants of his
cabinets are considering the advis-
ability of coming to Vera Cruz to
complete mediation negotiations. In
formation from a source such as to
make it authentic is that the plan
now under consideration is for Blan-
Quet to come first in company with
the Brazilian minister for confer
ence with General Funston, regard
ing the nature of Huerta's reception
and whether he would be welcomed
within the American lines. From a
Mexican who has been in complete
touch with the highest officials in
Mexico City it was learned Huerta
has become convinced that it is un-
safe for his family to remain longer
In the capital, but that he cannot
devise way to get them out of the
city. He fears that rebels might
dynamite any train his family would
leave on.

BRICK MADE IN MIDDLESEX
CHIEF SOURCE OF SUPPLY

The brick manufacturing factories
along the Raritan river in Middlesex
county in the past two years have be-
come one of the chief sources of sup
ply for the brick market of New
York. But few Connecticut brick
were sent to the New York market
last year because of the low price
of the building material and the cost
OF transportation. During 1912 and
1913 practically the total output of
the Raritan river manufactures has
been shipped to New York because of
the cheapness of transportation be-
tween the brick works and the me-
tropolis. The average price per thou
sand obtained for brick last year was
$3.50 per thousand, which was too
small to allow of competition on the
W York market of Connecticut
brick.
