DUMPING SPACE
FOR MERCHANTS
Decision Reached When Health
Board Officials Confer With
the Aldermen.

Merchants and others in the city
desiring space for dumping their re-
fuse will be accommodated with the
use of the dump of the garbage con-
tractors, according to decision
reached at the committee meeting
of the Board OF Aldermen last night.
1t was proposed, after some lengthy
discussion to have the city furnish q
day to work in covering up and lev
elling of the dump operated by
garbage contractors, Graham & Nc
Keon, north of Hall avenue and near
Penn street. The aldermen believe
that II the merchants will cooperate
to the extent of dumping only with
In the hours the man works at. the
dump, the private dumping question
will be solved.
Because of complaints, followed by
action OF the Board of Health in CIV
Ing Graham & McKeon five days in
which to remedy alleged unhealthful
conditions at the dump, the garbage
contractors stopped merchants and
others from dumping there. The
contractors claimed that they were
not the violators, the nuisance being
caused by private dumping after the
contractors men had covered the
dump Since that time there came
many complaints to the mayor and
Board Of Aldermen.

Dilts and Health Officer Willsey ap-

BLOWlNG OFF MIGRANTS ENDS
CAUSES OF DISCOtORED WATER


The water in certain sections of thi
city yesterday was again the color OF
chocolate. In places where a large
amount of clean water is needed to
carry on business it was found neces
sary to wait until the water cleared,
and that was not until an early hour
this morning.
The water department could give no
reason for the color during the early
part of the day, but the dead ends of
the hydraAts about the city are blown
off every Friday night, beginning at
II o'clock and continuing until far
into the morning, This blowing off of
the water discolors it for awhile, bat
it soon gets clear again. But this does
net explain the color of the water

Lawyer Likely to Oppose Sec

to Help Make Slate on DEM
ocratic Outing.
ALSO CITY COMPTROLLER

Latest developments in Democratic
ranks have brought forth the an
nouncements that Thomas A. Chris
topher, last years Democratic candi-
date for recorder, may be an oppon-
ent to Alderman John w. Kelly in
the second ward this fall, and that
Governor Fielder and his staff will
participate in the slate making on
the Middlesex county Democratic
outing Tuesday, August "a. Poll
tics have begun to hum more than at
any other time previous this year.
Indications are that by the time the
Democrats have had their excur-
sion to Coney Island slate will have
been completed to the satisfaction OF
the rank and file generally.
Persuade Him to Run.
While Mr. Christopher has not yet
made up his mind as to whether he
should answer the call of his many
friends In the second ward, there
are strong Indications at present that
he will oppose Alderman Kelly for
the Democratic aldermanfc nomfna-
ton at the primaries. When seen
today, Mr.. Christopher admitted that
he had been seen by number OF his
friends and that they had tried to
persuade him to run. 1t appears
that they conclude he Is entitled to
more consideration from the Demo-
Gratis than he has received, it hay
ing been stated that he was entitled
to the city attorneyship when 1t
came up. Mr.. Christopher was sac
rificed in the race for the recorder
ship last fall, his friends declare, 1t
having been known that it was next
to impossible to beat Recorder II. E.
Pickersgill, but they claim that he
should have received consideration
subsequently when Mr.. Hommam
vacated the position of city attorney
to become judge of the distric.
court. A trifle more OF pressure on
the part of his friends will make Mr..
Christophez-ah an opponent of Mr..
Kelly, it appears.
Mr.. Christopher has had H. eye
on the city comptrollership, in addi-
ton to the city attorney position, it
is declared and his friends had hoped
that he would have procured one OF
thena. They declare that ha has
been a resident in the second ward
for the past eighteen years and is
entitled to more consideration than
he has received, especially because
of the manner in which he lent sup
port during the last campaign.
Governor Fielder and his star
have given their promise that they
will be with the Middlesex Demo-
Gratis on the excursion to Coney
Island on Tuesday, August "a, stated
Collector of Revenue Richard F..
White today. The leading Demo-
Gratis OF the county are striving with
every effort to make the coming ex-
cursion one of the biggest OF its
