TIGHrING FOR HER MONEY
How Newark has Lost over Se5O, 900, and
How abe Hopes TO Recover Ii.

An important meeting OF the Newark
Common Council was had last evening. The
chamber was crowded with taxpayers. 1t being
expected that action would be taken looking to
the recovery OF over s25O.000 which had been
illegally paid to the county. in the past seven
years. on account OF interest on Public Road
Board bonds. Alderman Miller presented a
resolution authorizing md directing the
Finance Committee to Investigate and report
The resolution was adopted.
The gist OF this interest trouble ls ms follows
The Essex County Public Road Board bonds
amount to $14f5l00 tho interest on which
amounts to slOl 1877. The law provides that
one half Of this interest must be paid by the
county at large. and one-half 10y the townships
and cities through which the new avenues and
streets pass. Three weeks ngO Mr.. Edward
Mullen. who exposed the City Hall Ring frauds
several years ago. discovered that the total in
terest on the Road Board bonds had been as
sessed upon the county Mt large. which is $780,
26s. 80 mole than the law provides. As Newark
pays ~ per cent. of all the money raised 10y the
county at large, she will therefore have to pay
500, 54l. 23 Of the $780, so. Tho bonds were
issued in 1870. and the interest has been un-
Justly paid to the county since that time, max
ing n total Of about 1910 600 overpaid to the
county by the city in the past seven years. The
bonds run ten years. and one-tenth of the prin-
cpnl and interest in paid yearly. so that had the
error not been discovered the city must have
ovcrpaid to the county nearly 5000. 900 by the
time the bonds expired. The object now is to
recover from the county the amounts oyorpaid.
