SOUTH AMBOY. Mar. 15-"When
Councilman Disbrow saws that the
city engineer and the city solicitors
salaries are exorbitant he lies, and
when Mayor Chase says there are no
duties prescribed in the ordinances
he lies. To my mind it's a conspiracy
on the part of Councilman Disbrow
and Councilman Tice together with
the mayor to keep the public misin-
formed of the facts" So spoke City
Solicitor Francis p. Coan at his Office
late yesterday.
Mr.. Coan referred to a certain
newspaper article in which Council
man Disbrow proclaimed the salaries
to the city engineer and the city soli-
citor as robbery"
The whole situation has been
caused by Mayor Chase's delay in
confirming the appointments to the
city offices. 1t will be remembered
that Mayor Chase vetoed all appoint
ments after the last regular meeting
of the council. 1t is expected that
the council will take action on the
veto at the next regular meeting. In
the event that three-fourths of the
council IA not be mustered together
to override the mayors veto, the
only other cause left to pursue will
be the present force to hold over for
another year.
Both Mayor Chase and the two
Republican councilmen, although
they have a large following who pro-
claim their actions as just, are being
attacked by many throughout the
city. Some are of the opinion that
the whole affair instead of being for
interest to the taxpayers is nothing
short of a political scheme.

of having the office of water orn

Mr.. Coan in speaking of Council
man Tice's attack on Mr.. Braney,
declared:
"As for the appointment of Water
Commissioner Braney is concerned
I do not believe that the man is in
any way qualified for the position as
executive of the water department"

fuses the office of the chief engineer
with the water commissioner, or else
he does not know what h duties
Of the water commissioner are" he
continued by saying that the
Gilman also stated that Mr.. Braney
is handling a task that appears to
be too big for him. Here is another
proof of Mr.. Tice's moi knowing the
duties of the water commissioner.
According to the duties laid down
for the executive of the water de-
partment, Mr.. Braney has only to
know common addition, subtraction,
multiplication and, division, and l
am sure he knows them.''
City Engineer Michaels. talking
along the same lines decried any at
tempt to merge the two Offices OF
water commissioner and street COM
missioner into one sin the event
that one head was placed over the
two departments it would mean that
there would at once be a need of
placing in charge of both depart

two officials at the present time"
There is no economy in that" he
