FOR NEW WATER
SCALE IN CITY
Will Affect Large Consumers
Board Meeting Last
Night

A new scale of water rates for the
large or at least certain adj
Justments seem probable following a
meeting of the Board of Water Com
missioners last night at which this
matter was gone over n discussed at
length.
GLOWING the discussion Super
intendent Samuel J.. Mason was in
structed to prepare a tentative new
scale of rates which effect the larger
consumers, this new schedule to be
submitted to the Commissioners at
their next regular meeting. The new
rates, If decided upon, will be lower
than h ones now charged.
h action of the Board was
brought about from a letter received
from A. c. Clark, superintendent of
the Raritan Copper Works, in which
he pointed out that by using less
water his plant had been forced to
pay more than IL had when the con-
sumption, higher rates are
ing to the sliding scale now in effect.
BY using more water a lower price is
secured from the Board but If a plant
now economies on the water con
sumption, higher rates are are
charged making 1t impossible to lower
the water bill by using less water.
Commissioner Harry Conard, of the
pipe COIlIllttee, reported ina he naQ
Investigated the Lee emu situation,
where the residents had made a petit
tion for a water main, but owing to the
scarcity of houses and length of the
blocks could not report in favor of
the laying of a standard size main.
The matter was referred to Superin--
tendent Mason to investigate and see
If some means could not be devised
of supplying the residents on Lee ave-
nue. with water, If only from a small
two inch pipe run from Hommann
venue
A resolution was passed referring to
the aldermen a note for $4,000 which
is u to be renewed for six months
on Jun 1.
Superintendent Mason reported that
he had not al yet received a reply
from the construction division of the
quartermaster department at Wash
ington concerning the government
contract with the local Water Board
for supplying Camp Raritan with
water. He stated he would again
write concerning the matter.
All of the commissioners were
present at the meeting.

Believe Legend of New
Mexican Mountain True

An Isolated butte rising out Of a vast
plain in the vast Southwest fiat
topped hill 430 feet high and with
sides so nearly vertical that for many
centuries 1t was supposed to be hope
lessly climb-proof, Is M of the most
interesting of the natural wonders OF
this part Of the United States.
Many attempts to climb the En-
chanted Table" or Mesa E~ncantada,"
as the first Spanish settlers called 1t,
have been made, but Indian supersti-
ton has attributed their failure large
ly to a supernatural influence that
baked the ascent. Hence the name
Enchanted"
According to the Indian legend, the
mesa, which Is three miles northeast
Of the well-known Acoma pueblo, In
New Mexico, was very anciently the
site of a prehistoric village. A fright
full storm carried away part of the
rock and with 1t the rocky staircase
which offered the only path of access
to the summit.
AS a result, the people in the village
were cut off from the plain below.
They could not climb down; no help
could reach them, and they starved to
death. The only survivors were a few
who by chance were absent from the
mesa top at the time of the disaster.
From them, 1t is explained, are sprung
the present-day inhabitants of the pu-
eblo Of Acoma.
But science, while disposed to be
incredulous of things improved. Is at
the same time inclined to investiga-
ton. Hence an expedition which the
government bureau Of ~ethnology sent
out to climb the Mesa Encantada. Tho
party, after almost incredible efforts.
arrived upon the top.
What they expected to find was
nothing. But, to their surprise, they
discovered, on the summit Of the mesa,
plain and unmistakable evidences OF
ancient occupancy, such as ruined
walls, and what they saw there af-
forded a measurable confirmation OF
the Indian legend.

In closing his talk he urged hat
every channel of protest be tapped
and in the end these protests will
bear some fruit and receive serious
consideration.
Rabbi Robinowitz, of the C~ongrega-
ton Sharry Tfiloh synagogue was the
next speaker. He urged the Jewish
people to stand together, and said that
the five great power in their desire
TO beat Germany have failed to see
what has happened and must have
their yes opened. =
Albert Leon, in his address urged
the Jewish people to stand united as
only by doing this could they receive
justice. He told how bones are be-
ing picked clean in order to satisfy the
hunger of women and children in Po-
land, and in making protests we are
asking only for hat to which we are
entitled. He said that six per cent of
the American army were their core
ligionist and that large numbers of
them sleep the sleep in Flanders Field
and France from which there is no
return and for this reason they have
the right to go before the world and
demand hat the atrocities stop. In
closing he urged that the people stand
united, for then. the appeal will be
heard and the men who have the gov
eminent of this great nation in their
charge will see that the Jews will get
justice throughout the world.
In closing the meeting Chairman
Golenbock, said hat the response to
the request by the Relief Committee
that the Jews attended the meeting
and close their stores had shown that
the Jewish people will support the
committee and that Perth Amboy is a
sample to be placed before the Jews
OF the state and predicted the Jews
of this city will do as much or much
more than they have done in other
