A Proposition to Erect the City Into .
County.

A Proposition to Erect the City Into q
County.
On the 26th Of last December the Common COun.
Gil of Newark appointed a special committee, CON-
posed of ex-Mayor F. W. Ricord. Mayor N. Perry,
James c. Ludlow. President Of Council, and citi-
zens Daniel Dodd, John MeGregor, Thomas +. Kin
ney, Adolph Schalk and Abner s. Reeves, to con-
slider the practicability Of consolidating the city
with the townships. The committee held several
conferences, and the result il that II
has submitted a report not only declaring
that consolidation ID unwise. lmpracticable
and uncalled-for, but recommending that
the city be cut or from the county and erected
itself into county. The committee admits that at
first it was dazed with the grandeur of the CONSOLE
dalton project but soon, on interchanging views,
discovered the unwisdom OF such proposition,
finding difficulties In the way apparently lnsur-
mountable. The committee could not find that any
Of the townships were an xious Tor grand munich
pal marriage, but, per CONTRA that many OF them
were utterly opposed TO the thing. 1t was evident,
says the committee, that the townships would not
agree To the proposition except upon terms that
would give them an undue advantage, and impose
unequal burdens upon our taxpaying citizens"
and furthermore suggests "the endless controver-
sizes that would follow consolidation in reference
TO local improvements, such as water supply,
sewerage and other municipal conveniences
that Would be mmedasey Dd aemanoe sSa
the city be made county Dy itself the COM
mittee strikes popular chord by drawing atten-
ton TO the wide Inequality OF representation In
the Board OF Chosen Freeholders between the city
and the townships. and cites the TACT of the
Thirteenth ward OF Newark with population OF
$4,000, which has only one freeholder, whereas the
township OF Livingston, with population OF only
LIZ. has two members In the Board ''and," II
continues, mot one OF the townships has even half
the population Of that ward though each OF them
Is allowed two votes to It's one This dtsprOportlon
is clearly unfair to the city, and yet with all this
advantage the townships constantly manifest u
sense OF Injustice" The report has been avorably
received both by the Council and the citizens and
steps to carry out its important suggestion Will,
no doubt, be taken.

That irrepressible but most interesting OF travel
lers M. Du Chsillu, has been at 1t again. Last
night he lectured at Association Hall on "The
Land of the Midnight SUM-" Not content with

starlight, only were his o1hand sketches OF the
people and their ways OF living He saw the King
OF sweden living IN more democratic simplicity
than the President OF the United States.
He was particularly struck by the plain, honest
ways OF the common folks who live entirely on
milk and FISH and are wonderfully prolific. When
