uoBoKEN MUNICIPAL TROUBLES.

The Board of Education of Hoboken has
passed tho following In relation to the action Of the Com
Council in refusing pass requition for IS 900 to
pay expenses incurred by the Board:
Whereas The Council of HODokeD did at its last
sion enact an ordinance which, in effect, will divest this
Board of functions and erOgatives which the people
the intention OF the law evidently meant should he
the province Of the Board OF Education; and
Whereas The passage Of said ordinance Is an intlma
ton that the members Of this Board either lack III in
egrity competency selfespect prompts TO repel
the intmation thus conveyed and the unwarrantable
control thus obtained; therefore.
Resolpsd, That in view OF the foregoing facts we
hereby most respectfully inform the Mayor and COuncl
HObOken that said unsigned ordinance be-
part OF the law OF Hoboken this Board will
sign a. a body.
The Common Council held special session last
ing consider the action Of the Board of Education The

authorizing the City Clerk to issue warrant for the pay
ment OF Is 900 required by the Board of Education 1t Is
probable that the Board viii reconsider its resou
