WATERPROTEST
FROM FORDS
Albert Larson Brings Matter
Up at Meeting of Wood
bridge Committee
RELIEF Is DESIRED
Both Fords and keasbey Sec
tions Hard Hit by Lack of
Pressure, is Claim

FoRDS, April 24.-Albert Larsen,
township committeeman brought TO
light the serious as we'll as the de-
plorable condition of the water sit
uation in this section at the meeting
of the township committee held in
Woodbridge last night. He declared
that the water situation IS an i'm
portant factor and the immediate
solution of the problem is urged.
Committeeman Larson informed the
committeeman that the flow of water
in many parts of the. Fords district
is at low pressure most of the time.
At other times, Mr.. Larsen said no
water at all was obtainable. He
believed that the blame for the
water shortage should be attributed
to the water company. He pointed
out that when the company has
ample water the pressure is good. 1t
is a seldom occurrence however. Mr.
Larson said.
Mr.. Larsen also stated that in the
last few days more than a hundred
residents living in this vicinity have
complained about the water situa-
tion. They, too, said that little or
no water is obtainable at times and
he substantiated their story through
his own experience.
Committeeman Hoy partly dis
agreed with Mr.. Larsen saying that
he has never felt the acute short
age of water along New Brunswick
avenue. He said that while a six
inch main runs along New Bruins
wick avenue, the two inch main
which connects the Larsen vicinity
should be ample to give the needed
water.
After considerable debate it was
agreed to investigate the matter by
communicating with the water COM
pany through the water and fire
committee.
That the water question is not
only an issue to be combatted by the
Fords residents was brought out
last night when representatives
from keasbey appealed to the town.
ship committee for water pressure
in their district. The delegates said
| that in spite of the fact that the
| Keasbey has all the facilities for
| fighting fire, the only and most i'm
| portant obstacle is the water pres
sure. With no water at hand the
| fire fighters have been really handi-
capped in their work. Quick action
was asked.
Committeeman Hoy at this poin
explained the Keasbey water propo'
sitfon. He said that at one time 4
| was taken up with residents of tha
| section and they refused TO enter
! tain the small cost which would have
incurred in making the connections
/ Mr.. Hoy was of the opinion tina
| Keasbey could be supplied with
| water at short notice and advised u
push the plan. He also said that i
the taxpayers at this time again re
fused to heed the cost it should b.
| done at their expense by the town
ship.
Committeenan-at- Neuberl
| informed the delegation that th'
! matter will be given serious stten
| ton within a short space of time.

(By the Evening News Staff Corre-
spondent)
TRENTON, April 24:-Testimony
taken yesterday perore the joint
legislative committee probing the
purchase In Perth Amboy of the w.
J. Donnell Lumber Company's tract
of land for use as northern ap-
proach to the new state bridge across
the Raritan river proved to be of
nature extremely damaging to the
defendant members of the ousted
State Highway Commission.
Attorney General Thomas F. Nc
Gran during the questioning of wit
nesses called by him showed the
particular desire on the part of the
ousted commissioners to secure the
Donneli property at what he termed
an exorbitant price while at the
same time other property, also need
ed for the bridge approach and be-
longing TO the c. Pardee Company
and National Fireproofing Company,
was not purchased although it was
available.
The attorney general introduced
testimony showing that the Donnell
property was formerly owned by the
National Fireproofing Company and
that it was purchased by the DON
nell concern on July "a, 1916, for
a consideration not in excess OF
$4,000.
City Assessor Sol Rubenstein, OF
Perth Amboy. said the property was
assessed at s19,250 representing
about forty per cent of its true value
! Clancy D. Boynton and Charles Z,
I Steuerwald testified to making ap-
praisals of $4,000 as the value o.
the land, they declaring that this
was the highest price they could sci
on the property after taking every
thing into consideration.
Robert A. Meeker. right of way
engineer of the state highway de-
partment, testified that $4,000 in
his opinion was high as the Donnell
property was not as valuable as the
properties adjoining it on either
side. The Donnell tract, he said,
is irregular in shape being somewhat
like an hour glass. the narrow part
in the middle being only about so
feet wide. The property then Wild
ems out on Smith street and along
the river, Mr.. Meeker said.
Statements by the ousted highway
commissioners that the attorney
general had advised them they could
sell any portion of the Donnell land
which they did not need for bridge
purposes were denied. This denial
came during the questioning Of A.
Lee Grover. secretary TO the COM
mission. The secretary told Me-
Gran that he had been verbally in
formed by Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Francis H. MCGEE that any
