last night reported that the Board
was in q position to furnish any am
u of water now the supply at pres
ent being sufficient to meet the great
est demands. He was instructed to
get in communication with the Du-
Pont deNemours Powder Company
and learn whether a contract might
not be entered into with that com =
pan whereby the Perth Amboy plant
could sell them water. The Dupont
plant is now pumping its own water,
but according to a statement made by
Mr.. Mason, they could purchase IT
from the Perth Amboy plant at a less
amount.
Owing to many of the large NUM-
lions and other plants either shutting
down entirely or greatly decreasing
their operations the local water works
is now being called to furnish as much
water as vas the case before the ar
miStice was signed. Now it a plen-
ty and is endeavoring to find pur-
chasers.
The matter Of insurance was dis
cussed last night and referred to the
finance committee. A communication
from Harry Brewer offering to sell
to the Board 5000 tons of bituminous
pal at $500 per ton was received and
the superintendent instructed to re-
ply informing the writer that the
Board could not purchase this amount
of coal without advertising for bids.
A motion was passed to have plans
and specifications prepared for a steel
and concrete trestle at Runyon. and
bids secured for the construction of
same. Parts of the present wooden
trestle ave been condemned.
The report of the collector for the
month of April showed total collec-
tions amounting to S27, 394.48. Bills
totalling sic. 684.72 We're ordered paid
and acquisitions for supplies approx
ed. A petition for a water main was
referred to the pipe committee to in
vestigate and report back and several
claims for reductions in bills were re-
ferred to the superintendent.
The commissioners present at the
meeting were: Acting President Char
les Hanback,, Harry Conrad. Chaun-
cey c. Baldwin and Hugh Timmins.
