KEASBEY GETS REPoi

KEASBEY, Oct. 10:-Follov
the outcome OF the meeting of Con
mitteemen Hoy, Larsen and Gill s.
the township committee with w. Co
Weaver, superintendent of the Ma
tionaI Fireproofing plants yesterda,
morning, in an effort to reach al
agreement in the Keasbey rate
tangle, Committeeman Hoy and Lar
sen met with the local taxpayers al
fected by the water situation last
night at the firehouse and laid before
them the plan as outlined by the
~fireproofing company.
The plan submitted to the people
for approval by the fireproo1ng COM
pany proposes tt extend their two
inch line from Crows Mill road,
which now supplies water to the
houses on lower Crows Mill road
to the last house on the easterly end
of Smith street. This two-inch main
will supply the people with water
for everyday use. but will not be
sufficient to afford any fire protec-
ton.
Following considerable delibera :
ton the taxpayers agreed to accept
this plan rather than to bring about
| any legal tangle and probably result
in a loss to the property owners.
An estimate on the cost of the lay
| ing of the mains will be ready in a
few days, and from present indica-
tons it appears as though the water
question here will be settled to the
satisfaction of all concerned under
the existing circumstances.
Although a number of the taxpay-
ers present pleaded for the six-inch
water main as was first proposed, It
was decided to amicably agree to the
t o-inch water main rather than To
take the risk to be burdc1ed with
the entire assessment, which would
| result If the courts decided in favor
of the fireproofing company's protest.
If the proposed plan meets with
| the approval of the majority OF the
taxpayers, which 1t no doubt will.
the people will at least have water
r ordinary consumption at cry
little cost but as for fire protection
that portion of the town affected will
still remain a fire hazard as has cx-
listed for the past many years.

BOOZE SEIZURE HERE
IS REPORTED TO POLICE

Prohibition Director Adrian G..
Chamberlain came to the local police
headquarters at about 1890 O'Clock
this morning, and turned over to
Acting Lieutenant Frank Kasprzak,
eleven cases of whiskey, which the
government said he had seized at 81
Broad street, this city.
The whiskey was left at police
Headquarters because the prohibition
director was headed for the High
lands, where the big raid of last
Saturday afternoon was made. The
director returned to this city at 5:45
o'clock this morning, and again took
possession of the liquor, which it is
believed was taken to the Eagle
warehouse at Newark.
A contractor, Robert r. Bozza. is
listed in the directory, as residing at
SO Broad street and when the oc-
cupant of the building was commune
Gated with by telephone this morn
ing, he declared that he knew moth
ing about the seizure.
The director said nothing about an
arrest in connection with the seizure
and did not go into details regard
ing the same. He requested the local
police to allow the keeping of the
liquor at headquarters, until his re-
turn from the Highlands.
1t is probable that the trip to the
Highlands was made to see the effect
of last Saturdays raid.
Later this afternoon, Bozza called
the News and said that n of ten
private garages on property owned
by him at 81 Broad street, was found
open this morning and that it was
probable the seizure was made at
that place.
