CHICAGO. March 3-Sanction
from fifteen railroad brotherhoods

lantic railway was dispatched to
local representative of the union.
following a midnight conference of
heads of the organizations. it was
announced.
The question of wage reduction
was brought before the railroad
brotherhood here by the manage
ment. but the board held the trans
portation act had not been complied
with insofar as preliminary confer
ences between employees and en-
ployers were concerned. and re-
manded the dispute for such confer
ences.
Shortly after this ruling was
handed down the road was placed in

Mayor Vetoes New Rate
Fixed By Water Board;
Bills Sent At 1920 Rates

that it was the first time in his men,
ory that such action had been taken
by the aldermen.
Superintendent Samuel Mason of
the water department, suggested that
the water board abide by the action
of the board of aldermen and that
the thirteen cents rate be adopted.
in order to avoid further trouble
and disturbance of the department.
Making the rate fair to both large
and small consumers and still be
able to finance the department. is
the proposition before the commits
sioners but a majority of the board
seem now to be in favor of abiding
by the aldermen's suggestions. II
was pointed out that by doing so
the revenue, estimated when the de-
partment budget was drawn up. will
be $4,000 less than anticipated.
Another problem before the board
is the fact that the largest consum-
ers will not use as much water this
year as in 1920. which will also cut
down the revenue. 1t was also
shown that when the plants use less
water the rate is higher.
A Communication was received
from Salvatore Council, Knights OF
Columbus, requesting that they be
given free water. The matter was
placed in the hands of Superintend-
dent Mason to investigate and report
at future meeting.

CITY PLANNERS
ACT ON BRIDGE
Mayor Says Commission Will
Play important Part in the
! Move to be Made by City
MEETING ON MONDAY
City Plan Body, Water Board,
Trolley Companies, Etc. to
Attend Session.
MEETING ON MONDAY

That the City Plan Commission
-sill play an important part in the
public hearing to be held in the city
hall Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock
when the location of the new state
bridge across the Raritan river is
to be discussed, was made certain
today by a statement of Mayor
William c. Wilson to the effect that
the City Plan Commission, Industri-
al Association, Water Board engi-
neer and representatives of the
Jersey Central Traction Company
have been invited to be present.
1t is evident that the location of
the bridge will be left almost en-
tirely with the city plan commission,
and whatever the commission decid-
es upon will be the stand taken at
the various hearings to be held with
ly for the past several days and have
State Commission of Navigation and
Army Engineers.
Mayor Wilson continues to abide
by the stand of City Engineer Nor
gan +. Larson at the hearing before
the Army Engineers in New York
last Monday, that the proposed ap-
proach to the bridge at Convery
place will bring a continued traffic
tie-up in Smith street and that the
approach to the bridge should be at
Sheridan street. The mayor pointed
Aout today that 1t is likely that IL at
any time in the future a bridge Is
built between this city and Totem
Vile the Perth Amboy end of this
bridge will be at Market street, be-
cause of the elevation at this point
on both sides of the sound. In this
ease with the new bridge across the
Raritan river. situated at Sheridan
street it would be in a direct line
with the Tottenville-P Amboy
structure and would make a direct
line from one bridge to the other.
A notice received by the mayor
today from the State Highway Com
mission states that the hearing on
the bridge will be held In Trenton
in the Assembly rooms of the Cham
Der of Commerce, Broad street Bank
building. on next Wednesday morn
ing at II o'clock All who are in
terested in the project are request
ed to be present.
At the public hearing in this city
on Monday afternoon 1t Is thought
that data of interest as to the loca-
tion. the placing of trolley tracks
and water mains on the bridge will
be obtained, which can be submitted
at the hearing on Wednesday.
Mayor Wilson said today that this
city desires the trolley tracks on the
bridge. and also would like to have
the water mains cross the structure.
as II is easier to repair mains that
are out of the water, than those
sunken several feet in the river as the
present mains are. The water mains
according to the mayor. could be
placed on the structure as far as
the draw and then allowed to so
under the water.
Following the hearings in this city
and Trenton. two other hearings will
be held. One of these will be in
Jersey City on March 10 before the
. State Commission of Navigation and
J the other on March IL in New York
\ City, before the Army Engineers.

Bic Reservoir
READY JUNE 1S7
viii be Ready for Service One
Month Before Time Set -
Splendid Job, Mason Says

At the meeting of the board of
water commissioners, last night,
superintendent Samuel Mason an
nounced that the new reservoir be-
ing built by the city will be COM
pletely finished by June /. The su-
perintendent announced that there
is really two months more work on
this job, although the basin part has
been completed and half of the roof
work has been completed.
There is sufficient material on
hand for completion of this task.
and one hundred feet of the earth
covering on the roof has already
been finished. The big pipe line has
been connected up, and If the roof
work was completed the water could
be turned on at any time, the super
intendent reported. There is already
eight foot of water in the reservoir
from rain and snow alone.
BY March Is. the superintendent
announced, full force will again be
at work on the site. He declared
that if the weather conditions for
this winter had been figured ahead
of time, this work could easily have
been done by the first of the year.
More men will be put ON in about
two weeks to do the several odd
jobs necessary for the completion of
the reservoir. The contract reads
for the completion of the work by
July /. After the work on the roof
and other parts is completed a high
iron fence will be built around the
reservoir.
There will be a tablet placed on
the finished reservoir giving the
names of the contractors. engineers,
superintendents and water commits
sioners. This is done on all city
jobs of this kind.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-03-03

At the meeting of the Water
Board last night it was announced
that Mayor William C. Wilson had
vetoed the amendment to the ordi-
nance changing the water rate to
fifteen cents, but as the veto was
no before the board no action was
taken on the matter.
In view of the fact that 1t is now
time for the water bills to be sent
out. it was decided to send out the
bills with the charges for the water
at the 1920 rate of thirteen cents.
AS nothing could be done until
the ordinance is before the board.
and as the board will not meet
again for two weeks it was pointed
ont that the increase in the water
rate, whatever 1t may be, can not go
into effect until May 1, when the
bills are again sent out.
The resolution suggested by the
Board of Aldermen. making the
water rate thirteen cents with dis
count of one per cent until the
maximum of thirty per cent is OBJ
tanned. was discussed at length but
no action was taken and the matter
was left open until the next meet
ing.
Commissioner c. c. Baldwin
stated that the aldermen in taking
the action they had. made it look as

now to take care of Its business. and
