Following Precedents Set by
Other City Boards, Grieve
Favors Buying a Runabout.

Following precedents set by the
Board of Health and the electrical
department in securing touring cars
to be used in the service, Superin-
tendent Thomas Grieve recommended
TO the Board of Water Commission
ers last night that runabout be
purchased for use in the water de-
partment.
On request of Mr.. Grieve the mat
ter was brought before the board by
Commissioner c. G.. Sibley, chairman
of the power committee, who said
that the superintendent had suggest
ed the acquisition of a runabout. Mr..
Sibley made no recommendation and
the proposition was referred to the
power committee to report back to
the board.
A bill for 1921 from the Worthing-
ton Pump Company, which had hung
fire for some time, was ordered paid.
It represented services for estimating
the cost of overhauHng the old
Worthington and Snow pumps at the
Runyon watershed.
The board practically decided to
sell and have removed considerable
Junk, consisting of remnants OF old
| pumps and boilers, from the water
works property in upper Smith street
| to render the tract less unsightly by
the consequent removal of the build
| ings on the property.
Two petitions asking for the layin &
! of water mains were received and re-
ferred to the pipe committee. One
asked for main along Pulaski ave-
| nue. in the vicinity of Central and
| Valley places, and one requested a
! main along Ashley street, between

railroad tracks The first was signed
by Herman Frederick and others and
the second by Anton Massopust and

Great Amount of Water Lost

Several Nearby Plants.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Jamesburg, April 22.-For the
third time within a few years the
dam of Lake Ruth, at Spotswood,
gave way last night between and
o'clock and had not it been for
the watchfulness of the employees OF
the De Voc Snuff Company, at
Spotswood. great damage would have
resulted. The left wing of the ap-
proach to the gate was washed away
causing an opening OF over twenty
feet to be carried away. The water
was greatly needed at the Bloomfield
mills three miles away, the plant at
that place running on a day and
night force, using water for power.
Until James Lawson, of New York
city. the owner, comes to view the
damage, 1t will not be known wheth-
er the repairs will be made or not,
as a lease was about to be placed
for the locating here of large rub
Der making plant. The power from
the water developed several hundred
horse power and large building 100
feet long was ideally situated for
manufacturing purposes.

BALANCED FEEDING FOR HENS
No One Grain Combines the Necessary
Proportions Of Ingredients
TO Produce Eggs.
(By ". K. GILBERT)

Balanced feeding is an attempt to
provide for all the wants Of fowls
bodies so az TO enable them to yield
the best profits to their owners at a
minimum cost
No one grain. meal or vegetable by
itself combines the necessary proper
tons OF ingredients TO produce eggs
in profitable quantities.
Scientific experiments have proved
that to keep alive an ordinary hen
weighing six pounds, two ounces Of
dry food per day is required, but these
two ounces are not enough to put on
flesh or 10 make eggs.
They are only enough TO keep up
the wear and tear OF existence. More
food has to be supplied for egg making
and il this food is richly charged with
the component parts Of an egg the
greater and easier win be the produe-
ton
The only chemical properties OF food
that We need trouble about are the
flesh and muscle-mal1ing principles
known as albumenoids and the heat
and fat-makiug principles known as
carbohydrates.
The ration that both science and ex-
periments have decreed to be the best

defer ACTION To
GET COMMISSION
Former Judge Carey Advises
Committee to Wait Until
Ballot TangIe is Settled.

There will be no commission
government election this year, it
appeared likely today. At the meet
ing of the Central Labor Union to-
night. it is believed, the organization
will decide to defer indefinitely the
filing of the proposed petitions call
ing for a special election.
This development was brought
about, according to a member Of the
commission government committee
of the union, by receipt of letter
from former Judge Robert Carey, OF
Jersey City, advising that any at
tempt to put the proposition to a
vote be deferred until after the con-
stitutionality of the preferential bal
lot is finally decided by the court of
errors and appeals. In the letter,
the committee states, the former
iurist states that the preferential bal
lot has caused unsettled conditions
IN all cities electing commissioners
under the act, and that to prevent
such tangles in this city he would
advise that the calling of the special
election be deferred. The eminent
exponent of commission government
seemed, by the letter, to prefer the
former primary system of selecting
commissioners rather than the Hen
messy preferential method.
Justice Bergen yesterday decided
that the act was constitutional, but
the legality of it has yet to be thresh'
ed out by the court of errors anG
! appeals Former Judge Carey offered
his services at any time in the future
that they may be needed for the
furtherance of the interests of com
mission government.
The commission government com
mittee made it plain that they were
not laying down." and declared tha
! the petitions now on hand would bt
sufficient to call special election a
the present time, but were inclined
! to accept the advice of the forme,
Judge as sound and wise. They stat'
that when the constitutionality o
the preferential ballot is finally de
cided, which may not be before mex
year, that they can use the petition
now on hand at that time to have
special election called.

to get back TO the main point, why

very few people, other than those

centered) would be all that could be
desired, then we still have the aims

and, if, as it seems, the city is desir-

ideal place for real park, namely,

WIN you kindly insert the follow

| agree with you that We need
parks and that we need them now.
While this need is less evident at the
present time than it will be years
from now it is beyond argument that
now is the time to provide for the
future.
There are various water front sites
offered TO the city and being familiar
with all OF them it is my opinion that
the one most centrally located to any
one vicinity of the city is that prop
erty lying between Brighton and Ca
talpa avenues, formerly the Hayes
estate. II is located convenient to
many of the main thoroughfares of
the city; it directly adjoins the prop
erty at present owned by the city and
its ownership by the city would in
crease its holdings in a continuous
line along the water; it is in such
condition that the first cost would
almost entirely represent its adoption
for park purposes; 1t is used right
