WATER
RATE ACTION
Commissioners viii Complete
Investigation Before the
Schedule is Drawn

Action on reduction of the water
1ates in favor of large consumers
was deferred by the water commits
sioners until their next semi-month-
1y meeting at their session held last
night. This decision was made so
as to give the commissioners a
chance to make a complete investi-
CATION of a plan prepared by Super
intendent Samuel Mason.
Commissioner C. C. Baldwin CALI
ed the reduction matter to the st
tention of Superintendent Mason
and the latter replied hal he had
drawn up a plan showing revision
of rates to meet the needs of the
department, that is, the lowering of
rates would result in the large con-
sumers using more water. Commits
sioner Baldwin then referred to the
appearance of representatives of the
American Smelling & Refining Com
pany and the Raritan Copper Works
before the board and the amount OF
water used by various local indus
tries. He suggested that a special
rate be made for large consumers.
At the present time the rate for
large consumers is slightly more
than eleven cents per cubic foot,
while Newark charges six and it
So 0a660otCo t-AAb bAAS 0ON.A "a
charge seven or eight.
Commissioner Fred Hansen set
forth his opinion on the matter by
saying this is not the proper time to
make a change and that the present
rate should be continued until the
end of the year.
President Hanback, and Commits
sioner Baldwin referred to the pos
sibility of getting South Amboy in
line again if a change in rate was
made. Commissioner Hansen again
declared that it might be best for
the department to get on its feet be-
fore making a change. After fur
Their discussion in which a majority
of the members took a hand, it was
decided to put the matter over until
the next meeting.
The commissioners took action
last night to start an experiment in
clearing sediment out of the water
furnished by the local department.
Numerous complaints were made
recently about the condition of the
water and the superintendent had
samples of water last night, one
bottle showing water containing
sediment and another bottle con-
tanning water minus the sediment.
1t was made known that this exper-
iment. scrubbing of pipes, etc, will
cost about $4,000.
The board members took action
at last nights meeting to have the
Board of Aldermen renew their note
for $4,000 which falls due Novem-
Der l.. Other matters of minor i'm
portance were discussed at last
nights session. Commissioners
Kelly, Stas, Baldwin, Hansen and
President Hanback, were in attend
ance.

FRANCE bAlKS
On AGREEMENT
ACTION PAVES WAY FOR MORE
DIFFICULTIES ON DIVISION
OF PREPARATIONS
Delegates at Paris Meeting Dicus1
Stand Taken in Settlements to Be
Made BY French Government
OF Late War Debt

Paris-Sir Robert Horne, chancellor
of the British exchequer, and Colonel
Jasper Theunys, Belgian premier and
minister of finance, enlivened the first
conference of finance ministers OF
Great Britain, Italy, Belgium and
France, according to Thursdays news
papers. Roland w. Boyden was pres
ent as unofficial observer for the
United States.
Sir Robert and M. Theunys declared
that they considered the agreements
reached August Is last by the allied
financial commission, and later re-
vised at the Cannes conference, as
finally binding. BY these agreements
the first billion marks paid over by
Germany to the allies were to be d.
vided between payments Of the cost
of the British army of occupation and
the payments to- Belgium under the
latters priority claim.
The commission at that time also
decided that the value of the Sarre
mines was to be reckOned as among
the payments received by France be-
fore May l. Charles de Lasteyris,
French minister of finance, vigorously
denied that these agreements Of Au.
gust 10 last were binding. He de-
clared that none of them had been
indorsed by the French parliament
and that France was under no obliga-
ton to submit to their validity. The
Italian delegate promptly seized
Frances objections as chance to
claim that an increased share be al.
lifted Italy for the cost of her army
of occupation.
NJ. Lasteryrie is quoted by the Figaro
as having declared after the confer
ence: Il was compelled to explain at
some length to my British, Belgian
and Italian colleagues that France has
not ratified these agreements and that
for France they have not the obliga-
lions of an accomplished fact. Never.
theless, it cannot be denied that there
were negotiations and that these ne
gotiatiOns had some intrinsic merit
That is inevitable. We must recog.
nize that we are dealing with complex
and purely technical problems. We
must acknowledge that if the agree
ment reached last August 10, for ex.
ample, has not been ratified by
France, that the other three great ma.
tons have signed and ratified it. We
shall continue to study our problems
tomorrow and doubtless shall reach
an agreement"

Comptroller Of Currency Says Bonus
Loan Security is Hard to Handle

day that in the event of the enactment
Of soldiers bonus legislation providing

Gates as security for loans.
Mr.. Crissinger described the pro.
posed plan of issuing adjusted service
certificates for use by the soldiers II
desired as collateral for loans to 80
per cent of their face value as "the
worst kind of frozen credit" and de.
clared while he would be without au.
thority to order national banks to re-
fuse to accept them as security, he
would strongly advise against their
acceptance.
The certificates would be nonnego.

and loans upon them would load the
banks up for the three.year term
which they cover, with an unmovable

The certificates would be similar TO
