FiainfieId Vicinity.

At a meeting Of the several munic-
Qualities OF Middlesex. Somerset and
Union counties held in the City hall
at Plainfield Thursday night. the
question OF the present water situa-
ton was freely discussed by the
delegates from seventeen of the
twenty-five municipalities. Many
views were exchanged concerning the
proposition put up by the Plainheld-
Union. Middlesex and Elizabethtown
Water companies, who claim that
they are financially unable to further
extend a needed additional supply
OF water to the several places that
ask for an increase.
The temporary organization form
ed Thursday night will be known as
a Conference Of Municipalities. The
chairman was authorized to name
several committees 50 that the mat
ter can be thoroughly gone into and
a conclusion drawn on the water

Woodbridge township. was n of the
main speakers OF the conference anu
put before the delegates the general
opinion of most of the oRher places
represented. Mr.. Martin agreed that
a joint investigation should be made.
and that the Middlesex Water COM
pany had sufficient water supply TO
meet the requirements of its own ters
ritory. He said that the water COM
pany did not have enough water and
equipment to sell a supply to any
outsiders.
Mr.. Martin said that the company
was not giving Woodbridge good SER
vice at the present time and that the
water pressure is lot high enough.
but this matter could be changed by
laying extra mains.
Regarding the question of NUM-
cfpal ownership of a water plant.
Mr.. Martin said thai there was no
sentiment in favor of this matter.
and that people generally were of
the opinion that the water compa-
MES were trying to unload their
plants at high prices.

mary investigation and prepare a
report which is to be sent to all the
municipalities interested previous to
the holding of the next meeting OF
the delegates at WeSttield. The
question of holding a joint investi-
cation will be settled at this time.
The preliminary work viii be done
without cost to the several munich
palities.
