NEW GAS CONTRACT Acting Chief and Summer Potior City council met in special session last Friday evening, and passed the ordinance giving to the Cape May Illuminating Company', the contract to supply street gas lights for live years. The following fiersons were chosen summer pol.cemen: Louis Williams, Walter Smith, John N. Reeves and Charies FTnnlnian. A resolution was adopted, to take effect June!, requiring all policemen to give full lime on duty unless incase of accident or sulfer reductions in their monthly pay for all lime lost. This has Iwen caused by the growing habit of taking lime off, placing a substitute on duty and trusting to the leniency ol Council to pay the substitute and also the regular in full. The same resolution gave the Police Committee joint control with the Mayor over the force and directed the Mayor to appoint from among the eligible ■nenbers of the force an acting chief in the place of William Farrow, signed, to continue until January 1,' a hen a chief will be regularly elected.

Tonre truly. A. B. C. In answer to the above we find the following to be the facts: The bonded debt of the city today ia $-.*6,1)00, of which >18,000 is for unpaid aewer bonds due last October, and for which kboot $41,000 of aaseasmenu has been made by a aewer oommiaion, bieh com mission's report has not yet been conilrmed by the court. If the asMstsment is confirmed, the debt irlually stands at $64,000. The C. M. Real Estate Co. was assessed for tbe year Iswtl upon the valuof $000,000, and they- paid the tax upon the same on August 17, 1807, $11,958, the face of the tax. At the time there was eight months interest ten per cent, per year due, and lax books show the following entry as to the matter: "Int. and costs to be settled when President Real Estate Co. returns from abroad. By order of Finance Com.” For (he rear 1907 they were assessed upon the aluation of $646,140, and their tax w as $13,22o.37, which wa* paid about weeks ago, together with $337.44 Bonds which have been issued on account of the improvements made by the Real Estate Company amount $230,000 For 1906 the interest at 6 per cent, the $230,00 • of bonds was $11,500, the 2 per cent, sinking fund on the same, $4,300, and the county and .Stale school lax on $600,000 at 40 cents on a $100 was $2,400, making in pended by the city for them (18,200, and they paid the city $11,858, or $6,242 less than its expenditure for them. In 1907 the city expended for them per cent, on $230,000 of bonds, $11,K>, and 2 per cent, for sinking fund, $4,300, and the county and state school on Uie^valuation of $646,140 at the of/Sl cents on a fl'10, $3,483.76, or a total of $19,283.76, making the city 1 deficit $6,058.38. The total bonded debt of the city today, Including the $150JAM just authorised, and excluding the unpaid $48,OdO past doe sewer bonds, U $589,200.

An Explanation In the Hk&ald of last week we mentioned that of tbe $160,000 bond wuejiiKlaultiorized by council, $60.10 was for water works, and $90,000 as for sewers, leaving an apparent discrepancy of $10,000 Chairman !i. H. Moore, of the Finance Committee, has explained it to us to be In this way: $106,000 of long term, or thlrty jrear bonds, of which $60,000 is for water works, and $46,000 of abort term bonds, to be met by assessment against benefit ted lands, for sewers. What we cannot explain, and what the taxpayers want to know la why $70,000 should not be in abort term bonds (two thirds the costa of tbf rs), and $35,000 in long term bonds, the balance of the proposed Cost of the sewers.

WATER SUPPLY INCREASE Work la Bring Done Quietly A Farm Melee ted The Fire and Water Committee of City Council, are mov ing for the improvement and enlargement -f the water w oilbt and supply of this city, notwithstanding the complaints of slowness on the part of some, who think nothing U going on unices they know all about it. is understood that the committee has selected a farm upon which place new wells. The farm selected L known as the Wolf farm, at the Juncture of the Bay-shore rood and Mechanic street, of West Cape - ay. is in the territory of Lower Township, and U owned by Aaron W. Hand. The price is said to be $350U. The farm is certainly a very long distance from the present water works, and it is estimated that it will cost $70U0 to build water mains to the place. The selection of the farm for the wells is i care of tbe Fire and Water Committee, City Engineer 8. H. Townsend, is on Ihe County Tax Commission with Mr. Hand, and C. C. Vermeule, of Orange, N. J., the supervising expert for the water supply inc -ease. If there are any persons who farms nearer the water works, and who want to sell them, if their offers sent in care of the Capk May Hkbaxu office, this paper will see that they are delivered to the proper city officials for consideration. The city could afford to pay more for a farm nearer tbe works, in order to aav greql cost of laying the mains over such a long distance.
