Mr.. Wight thought it was.
After much effort on the part OF
Mr.. Read, the bill was put through
the senate. 1t was afterwards claim
ed by DR.. Ramsay and others that the
amendment he made was almost GER
tain to cause its defeat in the assem-
bly,. Mr.. Read was forced to make
the amendment to gain the votes of
two senator's, to insure passage of
the bill. 1t was claimed that the
amendment would cause the loss OF
twenty-four votes from Hudson and
Essex counties in the assembly. En-
route to home In the train yesterday
afternoon, Alderman Hilker says he
overheard l.. ID. H. Gilmour, Public
Service counsel, say to another man,
wen attend to those twenty-four
votes"
Senator Ramsay stated today that
indications were, Mr.. Read would
seek to have the bill further amend
ed to exclude public utility board
control of municipal plants in cities
and to include only cities and
towns to whom they may sell,
to enable the measure to pass In the
assembly. In response to a query
from Mr.. Wight, the Public Service
counsel, Mr.. Gilmour, denied that bill
No. 232 was a Public Service meas
ure. The city attorney only smiled
at this reply.
DR.. Ramsay and Senator Hennessy
were among those who spoke against
the bill when 1t was up for final pas
sage In the senate. Their efforts
onnId fha uiCiIapnp nf
Mr.. Read and Public Service lobby
lists, aldermen stated today. Three
representatives of the Public Service
corporation besides Mr.. Read, were
seen to work while the measure was
up for action, city officials state.
They heard one senator exclaim that
the procedure was most unusual, in
that he had never before heard five
calls for a vote from a senator. Mr.
Hilker states that some of the sena-
tors were coaxed to vote, apparently
against their wishes.
Alderman Wilson took the initia-
tive In the start of state wide
campaign against passage of the bill.
He conferred with other aldermen,
Mayor 'Garretson and City Attorney
Wight today. The latter will send
letters to some authorities and the
city clerk, mayor and judiciary COM
mittee of the council will notify
others. Mr.. Wilson prepared letter
to be sent broadcast today, In which
he told of the councils action rela-
tive to bills 1919, 232 and 233. "As
to bill No 232," the letter sets forth,
"the intent of same is to deprive mu-
inequalities of the privilege of exer-
cising functions which have always
been theirs by inherent right" At
one stage, 1t is declared, that sit is
the most fragrant attack upon home
rule ever attempted and if enacted
into law, its effect will be to take
away the advantage any municipality
may possess in virtue Of its loca-
tion." In conclusion the writers
state that 'the bill is not fostered
by any municipality. but is introduc-
ed by request and is of benefit to
| only one class, namely, the public
utility corporations End particularly
the Public Service corporation"

With the food and water supplies
nearly exhausted, the town covered
by from five to twelve feet of water,
and railroad traffic stopped, the mes

HIDDEN IMPURITY

eff American women knew how
much of our Coffee lies on the ground
for days, before the berries are finally
swept up and harvested, greater care
would be exercised in purchasing
this food. For this Coffee is impure.
But it's moldy color is lost in the roast
ing, and the partial decay is concealed
until it comes up harsh and bitter IN
the cup. This fact Is not generally
known to importers, for few of them
have studied conditions existing prior
to the arrival of their ships in port.
So writes T. c.. HARDWOOD. And Mr..
Harwood knows. His long experience
in the tropical coffee growing coun-
tries, his deep intimacy with planta-
ton owners, his close study of their
customs. their methods and the
Tricks Of their Trade" has acquired
for him fund of knowledge which
places him far in the leadership OF
coffee connoisseurs, both here and
abroad.
Denison's Coffees are selected by F.
G. HARDWOOD, personally, and it is here
that his power in the Coffee Industry
manifests itself to the qualification of
Denison's Brands. His wisdom and
critical discrimination is appreciated
by Coffee Growers the world over, and
their respect gives him first choice of
the worlds finest crops. Thus, only
pure, hand-picked berries find their
way into Denison Coffees. His care
is your safeguard against impurity.
Try Denison's and realize your ideal

Waterproof Matches.

Hint for camping and fishing par
ties. Many of you have encountered
the annoying experience of finding
yourselves miles from a store and all
the matches in your possession SO
damp that they could not be used.
A fact worth knowing is that matches
can be made waterproof without in
Jury by dipping them in very hot
melted paraf1in, allow them to cool
and they are ready for use. The par
atm does not interfere with their use
in the regular way and they are alb
solutely protected from dampness.
