Union HIPS Council.

Chairman Rub was as cool and col
lected as ever when he called the
Union Hill Council to order last even
ing.
The Commissioners of Assessments
on the Liberty street sewer have de-
cided to assess the property owners on
the line of the improvement $15 each
for the outlet.
Brewer William Peter and Gustav
Freygang have signed Treasurer
Braunstein's bond for $40, 900.
The bonds of Poundkeeper Thomas
and of Constables O'Connor and
Dewitt were also presented.
Some weeks ago a petition was pre-
sented to the Board for the laying of
a pipe sewer on Palisade avenue as far
as Union street. Last evening a re-
monstrance was presented to the
Council signed by several of the
property owners on that line
objecting to the proposed improve
ment. A prominent member of the
Council explained the matter to me in
the following words:-"The remon-
STRANGE is a strange one. Some of the
very people who signed the petition
have also signed theremonstrance, but
what is stranger yet, names appear on
the remonstrance of people who have
not been land owners on Palisade
avenue for some time. Certain sign
ers of the remonstrance, Nh. Schneider,
for example, have laid private drains
in the street and object to being
assessed for the proposed sewer. I do
not think that the remonstrance will
have any effect.
A writ of mandamus was served on
Treasurer Braunstein in relation to the
school trouble. 1t was placed III the
hands of Warne SInyth, the Town
ship Attorney.
The School Board demands 81, 492,
to be returned for unjust assessment,
and will make a desperate fight for it.
About $500 worth Of claims We're
ordered paid. The Board will meet
on Saturday evening and adjourn sine
die. The new Board organizes next
Monday evening.

Il FIRE BOARD.

The Three Who Got There Meet With
the Three VIII Got Left.
The chairs outside the rail We're all
filed last night when President Con-
way called the new Fire Board to or
der. All the members were present.
Possibly the fact of the Mayors hay
ing made his appointments yesterday,
reducing the number of Fire Commits
sioners from six to three, drew forth a
number of curious citizens anticipat-
ing a circus. If so, they were dis
appointed. Nothing unusual oc-
Cured. The appointees were too gem
erous to exhibit their satisfaction in
the presence of those who got left"
and the latter were too proud to show
their chagrin, though n of them in
timated after the meeting that he did
not relish the state of affairs.
The Board settled down to routine
work. A number of petitions, appli-
cations and claims were referred to
the Board as a Committee of the
Whole. Among them was a remon-
STRANGE against the erection of the pro-
posed frame building to be used for
storing hay, straw, ETC., at Nos. 70 and
~ Morris street. The paper was
signed by Whitehead 81 Bro. No.
POI Washington street, who stated
that a large number of property
owners in the vicinity complained of
the menace to their property by the
close proximity of a frame building,
stored with combustible materials.
Referred to the Chief, with power.
Stoker John Hayes, of Engine No. 1,
was tried on charges, preferred by
Chief Farrier, of disobedience of
orders, being absent from a fire on
April 90 without leave, and with being
intoxicated and unfit for duty on
March IS. Hayes pleaded not guilty
to the last charge. Chief Farrier's
statements, under oath, were corrob-
Grated by Assistant Chief Denmead.
Hayes made no defence. When asked
questions by the Commissioners his
replies were always the same:-
He had nothing to say. After
a lengthy session in the Star cham
Der. during which it is supposed the
disposition of Hayes ease consumed
but little time, the Board returned
and announced the unanimous verdict
Of Hayes immediate dismissal from
the department. Hayes, who sat in
the rear of the room, was heard to say,
sob, pshaw!"
The Board then adjourned till next
Wednesday night.

NEWS OF NORTH HUDSON.

Meeting of West Hoboken's Town Coun-
ciI-Wedding Bells.
The West Hoboken Town Council
met in the Town Hall last evening for
the second time since the election.
The Empire Hose Company petitioned
for house repairs. They were granted.
As has been previously stated, the bill
of Contractor Fitzgerald for 81, 492 for
extra work on the new Town Hall was
referred to arbitration. Ex-Council-
man Joseph Hughes was appointed to
represent the interests of the town. 1t
is said that a Jersey City man will
present Fitzgerald's side of the ques-
ton.
s. Moos was accepted as the bonds
man of Councilman Finnegan, the
Chairman of the Board, in the sum OF
So 600. Assessor Jacquet's bond OF
$500 was signed by James O'Brien.
The bonds of Constables Kohl, Duval
and Cowan were referred to the Law
Committee.
Bids on the West street sewer will
be advertised for. A large petition
was received by the Board opposing
the improvement of West street; but
as action had already been taken, and
the time for Femonstrance had passed,
the Board could do nothing with it.
Contractor Martin b. Allen is in hot
water. AS was told in THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS, his neglect to pay the
men Oh the Clinton avenue and Ma
lone street sewers almost resulted in a
riot not long since. !.
The work on the Malone street
sewer has been progressing too slowly
to suit the Council. They have re-
monstrated with him, but without
avail.
Last evening they determined to
end the nonsense, and ordered the
clerk to notify his bondsmen that if
he does not proceed faster with the
work another contractor will be en-
gagged to finish the job. In relation
to the bills of the Judges of Election,
which were laid owe at the last meet
ing of the Council, Town Attorney
Rich presented a communication say
ing that they were not made out
in conformity with the law requiring
items of a claim to be set forth in the
bill. The ultimate effect of this opin-
ion will probably be to reduce the
fees from SIS to $12.
A number of bills, amounting to
over 81, $50, were ordered paid.
Within the next month the Board
will take possession of the e Town
Hall.

Who Owns the Land In America.

Who owns the land in the United
Statesi Why. the citizens do. or
should, would be the natural reply.
But unfortunately it is not altogether
so. Some of the best lands in this
country are owned by alien landlords.
Nearly 22,000,0O0 acres OF land are
owned by men who owe allegiance to
other governments. To be exact, there
are 81, PAL. 800 acres of land under the
direct control and management Of
thirty foreign individuals or COM
panies
There are 2, 72O, ,2s3 acres of land in
Massachusetts,, so that the men living
in other countries and owing allie
giance 10 other powers own land
enough 10 make about ten states like
Massachusetts-more than the whole
of New England, more land than
some governments own TO support a
king. The largest amount Of land
owned by any one man or corporation
is owned 10y foreign corporation
called the Holland Land company.
Talk about alien land holders in Ire
and There Is twice as much land
owned by aliens in the United States
as there Is owned by Englishmen in
Ireland. Think of it. More than 22,-

SOMETHING uuEER.
A Rich Man After a Poor ONCE.

The callow scribe who is doing the
biographical sketches OF democratic
candidates in the Courier, certainly
failed to submit his article on John
Holt TO the democratic Genital COM
mit'ee before publishing IL. Had he
done 10 ii would never have appeared
in the shape 1t did. but ss it has been
made public, We propose to discuss a
point that will doubtless be Of interest
to the taxpayers. The Courier, speak
ing of Mr.. Holt, says:
His considerable wealth enables him
to give whatever bond may be ueces-
sary 10 his Office without appealing to
any individual or set of individuals TO
b. "ome responsible to the county for
him, thereby placing himself Under
no obligations to them 10 bis official
capacity. He can deposit certificate
checks for the amount OF the penalty
IL necessary.
The bond referred TO is in the neigh.
borhood Of 1925 900. In view Of this
fact and the foregoing statement Of
the Courier, the question naturally
arises: What does a man "of consid-
erable wealth" actively engaged In q
business that necessitates his absence
from the city at least half of the year
aud who can, 10 necessary, put up
1925, 1000 In certified checks, want OF su
Office that is purely clerical in its
duties and legally pays at the outside
not more than $500 q year?????
Is il reasonable to suppose that a
man who has such regal command of
money. and whose time is 30 occupied
in large and profitable deals, ,is seek ing
this office for the purpose Of taking
his place at the desk daily, and serv-
ing the taxpayers ss the law contem-
plates and requires?????
These are pertinent questions and
should receive the careful considera-
tion Of every voter. 1t 10 bad enough
tbpt Mr.. Holt's caudidscy should in
dicste continuance Of the system OF
doing work by deputy with which the
county, and particularly this office, has
long been cursed, but IL is worse that
IL should indicate SO openly that Under
certain conditions the office il worth
more than ths law stipulates 1t shall
be worth. We venture to say thai
there IL no business house in Mon
tana that could secure Mr.. Holts en-
tire time aud business ability fol
