SUPPLY
Carteret Expected to Make
New Request for Perth
Amboy Water Rates
BAD PRESSURE CHARGED
And High Rates-city in Po-
sition to- Give About
$4,000 Daily

Perth Amboy may be the main
source of water supply to its many
neighboring municipalities, accord
Ing to general indications coming
from leaders of municipal affairs.
The borough of Carteret, claiming to
be stripped of good water pressure
and short of good service from the
Middlesex Water company and pay
ing, it is claimed, high water rates, Is
expected shortly to renew negotia-
tions with Perth Amboy in quest of
water supply. The industries of that
borough some months ago obtained
from tht Perth Amboy Water Board
Information as to the source of sup
ply which indicated that Perth Am
boy was in position to- give Carteret
approximately $4,000 gallons a day
at a price far below the figures OF
the present source.
II this step is taken. the borough
of Carteret may move to condemn
the water lines of the Middlesex
Water company. install a short line
from the Woodbridge creek to the
Carteret pipe line at low cost and
thus obtain a satisfactory water
pressure at cost that would please
the Industries and the small con-
sumner.
The move by the Carteret authori-
ties is expected to receive the signal
approval of Woodbridge and Me-
tuchen, who may follow the same
steps as are taken by the Carteret
people.
1--WE have plenty of water that we
can furnish to the nearby munici-
palities at small cost" declared VIII
liam Cornelius, secretary of the
Perth Amboy Water Board. The
secretary said that the board will no
doubt be glad to negotiate with the
municipalities on plan whereby
they could get it's supply from the
Perth Amboy resources without the
present difficulties of service, costs,
problems, etc.
The supply of water to the other
municipalities is expected to be an
unusual boom for the Perth Amboy
taxpayers. AS 1t was pointed out
sometime ago, the water rate would
be much lower than at the present
time, because of the revenue Perth
Amboy would receive from the out
of-town sources.
