CITY COUNCIL VOTES
FOR A NEW TRUCK
FOR WATER DEPT.
But II Was Finally Decided in Special
Meeting Last Night TO Delay Pur-
chase Pending Examination Of
Specifications by All.

A hurriedly called special meeting al
the council chamber last night afforded
the councillors just the opportunity they
were seeking 10 jam through enough leg
islation for the purchase of another mo-
tor truck. From o'clock until 10 most
of the talking was done by Chairman
Healy of the water committee, who was
ready with his vote when the time came
to use il. Only an amendment pinned
onto the motion TO purchase truck pre-
vented the council from authorizing the
mayor and the water chairman to use
their own discretion in buying a three
quartcrs.ton truck. Those who favored
its purchase at the regular meeting on
Tuesday night again urged the immedi-
ate need of truck for the water depart
ment and advocated its purchase without
further investigation. Aldermen Rey-
nolds. Rossi and Shurtleff seemed as
much opposed as ever.
Unless number of guesscs are al
lowed TO go sstrsy, the next addition to
the city's motorized vehicles will be a
car of the G.. NJ. c. type, TO be purchased
for 81 800 or thereabouts. Members of
the water committee stated that the
truck had been examined by them in
Burlington and had the committees APP
proval. Whereupon Alderman Shurtlef
reminded the council that he was the
second member of the committee and
hadn't SO much as heard of the truck
plan until the day previous, to say moth
ing of examining il in Burlington. Work
to be done at the Orange reservoir and
the extension of water mains just now
under way were given as reasons justi-
flying the purchase. Aldermen Rossi and
Reynolds stood pat for further investi-
eating a number of trucks before closing
a deal for any one type.
On Alderman Healy's motion authoriz-
ing the mayor and the chairman of the
water committee to make the purchase,
Aldermen Glysson, Healy, Bruce, and
Mayor Gordon voted in the affirmative,
the opposition being made up of Alder
men Shurtlef Rossi and Reynolds
When Alderman Rossi moved that the
water committee be instructed to bring
n specifications of the proposed car, in
,rder that some of the members might |
know what they are to purchase, the mo-
ion took the form of an amendment to |
he previous motion and carried by a |
'ote of five to two. Aldermen Glysson |
md Bruce voting against the amend |
nent. Delivery of the truck is held in /
Ibeyance pending the display of the
pecifications.
