WOODBRIDGE WATER SUPPLY.

When it comes to a matter of water supply 1t
would be much more logical for Woodbridge to
be associated with Perth Amboy, rather than
with the towns and cities of Union and Somer-
set counties. At a hearing heing held in Plain
field last week to consider the matter of an
adequate water supply, ]. H. Thayer Martin,
township attorney for Woodbridge, declared
that conditions at the present time were not
satisfactory. 1t is doubtful II the Middlesex
Water Company, which supplies the municipali-
ties to the north of US with water. ever can
give adequate service.
Its latest scheme is to get the places it serves
to underwrite its project to dam the Raritan
river somewhere near Bound Brook where the
Milestone river empties into the Raritan and
thus collect the water from the enormous water
shed of the Raritan and Milestone.
But il these municipalities must finance the
project. why should they permit a privately
owned company to collect a profit?
As far as Woodbridge is concerned, Perth
Amboy has an excellent supply of water with
plenty to spare. With the completion of the
new reservoir at Kinsey corner, right on the
border line of the township. Perth Amboy will
be better able than ever to supply its neighbor.
The fact that the destinies of Perth Amboy and
Woodbridge are wrapped up together it is fit
ting that they should cooperate in every way
possible. If Woodbridge finds the Middlescx
Water Company unable to give it the supply it
needs. why not open negotiations with Perth
Amboy? Certain sections of the township are
already anxious to get Perth Amboy water
Why not include the whole township?

The Intelligent Juror.

The trial had lasted seven days.
The lawyers all were weary:
The Judge gazed DER the multitude
With sleepy eyes quite bleary.
The Jury was ready to retire,
Tense was the situation.
The Judge said: ANY question, men,
Do you wish information"
One Juror rose and asked the Judge,
In manner independent.

A plaintiff and defendant"

WOULD PIT AIRCRAFT AGAINST
FORMER GERMAN NAVAL SHIPS

Washington Feb. 7.-Secretary Dan
iels, in making public today his letter to
Secretary Baker, pointed out that by
allied agreement the United States was
obligated to destroy the Osfriesland and
other former German naval vessels Civ
en- this country as soon as experiments
now under way were concluded He
could think of no more fitting or useful
method of destroying them, he said than
by using them as test ships for aviation
bombing experiments. He intimated
that the Old battleship Iowa. already fit
ted with radio control apparatus, would
be used for similar purpose later.
The Osfriesland was one of the mora
modern battleships of the former kaiser's
navy, mounting 12-inch guns. The YES
sci is fitted with a very thorough system
of bulkhesds and watertight compart-
ments and should, IN the opinion of naval
officers, provide very good demonstra.
tion of what damage might be expected
from aerial bombs exploding on a modern
major ship of war.

LABOR TROUBLES CRIPPLE
ARGENTINE EXPERT TRADE

Buenos Aires, Feb. THE exporta-
ton of cattle hides, sheep skins and
wool from Buenos Aires has been at
a standstill for more than two weeks
owing to the produce market union
and the port workers labor orsa MIA
tion having refused to give permits"
to load ships.
For several months past the pro-
duce market union has been exacting
an export tax" from exporters, pay
able to the union before it's members
would consent to handle exports, and
the port workers ,cooperated with
them. A permanent boycott has been
declared against firms who refused to
pay the tax.
Recently the union announced it had
discovered that some exporters had
been clandestinely shipping hides for
the account of b1ycotted firms and
therefore it had decided to prohibit"
exports entirely.
The newspapers ironically refer to
these labor unions as the unofficial
government of the port"
