CONSOLIDATION IN NEW JERSEY,

A large and influential assemblage OF citizens OF
Hoboken and some OF the nelghDoring townships
congregated in Odd Fellows Hall last evening to
canvass the popular feeling In regard to the con-
solidatlon Of Hoboken with Weehawken, west
HoboKen, town Of Union Union Township and
North Bergen. Messrs Peter Ritter and Jonn Reid
were chosen chairman and secretary respectively
Speeches were made by Alderman McGavisn and
Mr.. Albert B0gart. Inc latter gentleman
could not see any advantage in consolida-
t1On with the more remote townships but
strenu0usly urged union with Weehawkei.
The latter township belongs OF right to HODoken
and was separated from the city few years ago, III
the interest OF monopoly, by legislative enact.
ment. The heavy burdens OF taxation laid, in con-
sequence, upon the honest and struggling citizens
Of HODOken have repeatedly gwen rise To popular
protest against the unjust scheme OF separation
Hence 1t was that when o motion was made last
evening to advocate the consolidation OF HOboken
with Weehawken not one present uttered word
against It, save bcwlldereu looking creature in tile
rear. The asscmblage was unanimous In opposing
q union with the other townships. The "manifest
destiny" OF all those DISTRICTS however, lies IN an
ultimate consolidation with Jersey City.
