NEWARK NUISANCEs.

The Committee OF One Hundred I'm
Session-Their Excavations and Their
Labors-WfM Newark Have Another
Rings
TIE Committee Of One Hundred held their first
meeting last night at Upper Library Hall. The size
OF the committee has been the subject OF much
question. 1t was the opinion Of some that smaller
committee would be better, but the argument was
advanced that large committee would inspire bub-
lie confidence, and from 1t could easily be selected
an abundance OF working material subcommittee
also would do the work demanded by the
people. Fears are entertained In some
quarters that the books Of the city will
be refused the committee, but those are
probably groundless ~ the city officials would
scarcely do anything so suicidal as refuse to be
investigated. Yesterday the AERArD representative
called on Mr.. John Hartshorn. whose name heads
the list of one hundred, and who, it was thought,
would be made chairman. Mr.. Hartshorn was city
treasurer Of Newark for twenty-one years and as
sistant nearly dozen more. Three years

When pressed to say why he was moved out
by Mr.. Stout he spoke very kindly Of the

Stout under the same circumstances. He had got

towards Mr.. St0ut-a little peruuisite for extra
labOr-which Hartsh0rn had long attended to, but
which Stout desired. Mr.. Hartsh0rn did not think
any objection would be made to giving the COM
books.
WHAT ABOUT THOSE SUITS 2
In the spring OF 1872 the City Counsel Mr. Francis,
visited the newspaper Offices and stated that he had
commenced suit to recover over $4,000 nom con-
tractors the amount received by them for turning
the Tenth ward ditch sewer into quagmire Suits
against other swtndling contractors were also
commenced, he said. This was eighteen months
ago. but since then nothing has been accomplished.
At all events, Mr.. City Counsel Francis has not re-
pretty good assurance that nothing has been &C.
cOmplished by him.

NEW HAVEN, Sept Is, 1873.
The town OF East Haven. suburb Of this city,
has been during yesterday and to-day, the scene
Of considerable public excitement For o long
time at this season OF the year the people OF the
town have been much annoyed by gangs OF men
and boys going from the city on Sun
day into the town and ranging over
the fields, hunting and fishing and helping
themselves freely TO oil kinds OF fruit, milking cows
and stealing melons. The ravages becoming too
great 70 be borne, tho selectmen appointed force

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. Is, 1873.
Governor Dix has vetoed the New York Newspa-
per Claims bill. He recites the history OF the
claims, their origin and the action already had
concerning them. and says the eject OF the bill
would be TO revive and reopen large number Of
fraudulent or exorbitant claims which have al
ready been before the Courts or before the Board
OF Audit under chapter 1878 OF the laws of 1872 and
upon which the action OF the Board was prevented
by the claimants themselves. 1t Is not inttmated,
as already stated, that some OF these claims may
not have reasonable ground for Q hearing
and II the bill had provided for the
revival and continuance OF the Board

claims on the city treasury he would cheerfuly
have given 1t ms approval But this bill not only
takes these cases out OF the ordinary course Of
Official or judicial examination and adjustment by
creating an extraordinary board OF appeal and
arbitration, but 1t places the latter under restric-
tions, which might be very unjust to the CITY, by
giving validity to fraudulent demands against ID.
These restrictions would operate solely for
the benefit Of dishonest claimants; no honest

because 1t embraces all claims OF the same nature
prior TO the lst OF May 1873, revivng the Board OF

appeal 10 the commissioners. IL applies the same
process OF adjustment to claims for work done
under the reform government to those which
arose under the faithess and unscrupuous admin
istratl0n which preceded it. Advertisement under
the former can be paid for, like all other work or.
there IL no reason why 1t should be exempt rom
