BUREAU WORKS
To SECURE HELP
Federal, State, Municipal Employ
ment Office Makes Strenuous
Efforts to Secure Men.

The local office Of the federal.
state, municipal employment bureau
Is doing all In its power In trying to
cooperate with the manufacturers in
an effort to relieve this city OF the
labor shortage which now eonfronus
It. The labor conditions in this city
and vicinity have grown to be SO
acute that the matter has been taken
up with the Newark n New York
oficials Of the Federal Department
of Labor. To try and relieve the sit
uation the department at washington
has appointed three able men to as
sist in the work OF securing b Tor
the industries here.
The three men. J. F. Flnkle, JOS
eph Pulaski and Joseph LeMonti. all
of the federal department. are doing
their utmost in il present situation.
THESE men, acting as interpreters,
have combed this city and vicinity for
laborers but no results can be OBJ
tanned. They have even gone as Tar
as Staten Island and the suburban
towns to secure 'laborers but the re-
suits are disappointing.
The housing situation Is n main
hindrance to the sending OF men here
from other cities. Today the inter-
prefers are on a recruiting campaign
in New York City. 1t is expected

Mr.. Davis. of the local employment

The lead burners will receive 81 per
hour for the start with a rapid in
crease. The coppersmiths viii also
be given good wages. II there are
any coppersmiths and lead burners in
this vicinity they are urged to take
advantage OF this opportunity.
The female department of the

covered basin, pipe lines connecting
it with the present distribution sys-
TEN, high service , pumping station
and its connecting pipe lines. and q
large drain to remove surface water
from the reservoir sites and care Tor
a possible overflow. The covered type
of reservoir was adopted as repre-
senting the best modern practice for
service reservoirs located within the
municipal limits. in that the hygienic
purity and portability of the water
thus would be fully conserved.
Ground water such as is supplied to
Perth Amboy contains 10 a relative
high degree the mineral constituents
which r particularly favorable to
the development OF vegetable
! growths. Such growths begin to de-
velop rapidly as soon as the water
is exposed to sunlight and many OF
them impart to the water very Often
stve tastes and odors. The organisms
! which cause the trouble can readily
be destroyed by the 3 of proper
chemical compounds. but the odor In
the water will persist for days, or
even weeks, depending upon the rate
of displacement OF the water and
! other conditions. Furthermore. an
fopen reservoir is always liable to an
uncertain degree of air-borne and
malicious pollution. Covering the
reservoir gives assurance of keeping
the water as pure. safe and satisfac-
tory as when it is drawn from the
ground.
The first unit OF the reservoir is
about go feet long, at full water
level, with q width varying from $50
feet to $40 feet and a water depth OF
"a feet, 5 inches.
Three sides of this basin hav
earth entertainments surmounted by a
low concrete wall on which the edge
of the concrete ROOT is supported
The fourth side OF the basin Is a
concrete wall. which will serve as "a
dividing wall between this unit and
those. to be built subsequently. The
roof is a fat slab of concrete. with
out beams, carried on concrete coll
umns. The inside of the basin is lined
with concrete. Nearly all concrete
except the slope lining is reinforced.
The earth entertainments are carried
up over the walls and h roof Is
covered with earth. The type OF con-
struction and the proportions adopt
ed are tho result OF a series of care
full studies OF relative cost covering
not only the hrst unit. but also h
ultimate reservoir.

sured the board that It was only a
question of a short time before the
munition works IN this section would
be drawing upon the city o q larger
water supply. He also stated that the
reservoir cannot be built any cheaper
within the next ten years than 1t can
be built now, and advised that work
be started on IT as soon as possible.
1t was finally decided by b board
thai an application for a hearing be-
fore the Capital Issue Committee
! would be made at once. During his
talk, Mr.. johnson, who is in the en-
ployEnent of the government n
came to this city from Washington
where he is stationed, told some very
interesting facts concerning the mon
ster water supply he IS
| building for the United States army
at the various camps.
The question of laying water pipes
in Meinzer and Keene streets was
brought up by Commissioner Hugh
Timmins. After considerable discus
sion it was found advisable 10 Jay
the matter over to the next meeting,
in the meantime the superintendent
will make an investigation.
A communication was received
City Attorney Leo Goldberger
! concerning the purchase of property
| from Howard II. Brown and Known
as the Bennett and Disbrow ract
The communication stated that the
deal was about closed.
Some discussion tool place con-
corning the question OF raising the
water rate to meet the advanced cost
of water materials, labor, supplies,
etc. No action was taken although
If was pointed out that the city could
1 not continue to sell water at the pres
ent rate.
, One day last week the water was
turned off at two tenement houses In
Pulaski avenue for the non-payment
of water rent. The shutting on OF
the water affected some Twenty-Five
or twenty-six families. The tenants
complained TO Harry Conard of the
. condition which prevailed following
the shutting OF of the water and
showed receipts to prove hat they
had paid their rent regularly to the
landlord.
In order to keep sickness from the
people Mr.. Conard had the water
again turned on and the owner was
given q few days In which to pay tho
bill. II he fails, the water will again
be turned of and the Board OF
Health will cooperate In keeping the
houses sanitary.
Two resolutions were passed order
ling the payment of bills, and n
resolution was passed ordering that
a warrant be drawn for the purpose
of taking title to the property owned
by Howard II. Brown.
Two acquisitions for supplies were
received and passed.
Charles d. Snedeker was the only
member of the board absent.
After reviewing the principal
points brought but in previous re-
ports, the report submitted last night
