DISPUTED ASSESSMENTS IN JERSEY CITY.

Several months ago the CUIIiIIIsSIUH dPT'VrIooo'
by the New-Jerscy Legislature to ADJUST unpaid asscSs

that the dispued assessments made by the old Jersey
City and Bergen Rings excessive, and reduced the
amounts over 100000. When the contractors finished
their work on these improvements, they were paid In
bonds which have been added to the fhnded
debt of the city. The amount reduced from
the unpaid assessments thus became gem
eral debt on the city. The property-owners on
Mongomeryst applied 10 the Supreme Court for certi-

which crosses tie Meadow, the ground tht u Was
still excessive The Court has refused 10 grant the Wit

and the owners have been holding back Ill cX-
