Garry Out the Law
The Council chamber of the West Ho-
boken Town Hall was well filed, last
evening, when Mayor Finnegan raped
for order.
Mr.. D. Meyer, of No. 90 Bleecker street,
Jersey City, complained to the Board that
Contractor Martin Allen owed him $50
and had refused to pay it. Mr.. James
Dowd requested the Board to have the
sidewalks on Summit avenue repaired
Columbia Hook and Ladder invited the
Council to attend its annual picnic ON
August ID.

A committee, on behalf of the property
owners on High Point avenue, appeared
before the Board and complained of the
way in which George Endler, the
plumber, had made a sewer connection
in that street.
1t now appears that when Contractor
Brennan laid the sewer in the street, no
inspector was appointed, and in conse-
quence the work seems to have been
badly done. Charles Chandless, the in
spector of sewers, defended the work of
Mr.. Endler, who had been obliged, owing
to the strange absence of spurs" to cut
into the main pipe in order to make the
connection.
Mr. Chandless had authorized him to do
SO, and had superintendent his work. En-

Mr.. Henry Bowman wanted the Board
to explain the reason why the assessment
of SS7 on his property on High Point ave-
nue. appeared in large letters on the map
while the award of S135 that the Commits
sioners had given him was not to be seen.
The Board will try and find it.
Mrs. Anna Raymond and a delegation
from the United Women's Christian Tenn
perance Association appeared before the
Board and made a little temperance
speech and begged the Board to shut up
all the saloons on Sundays and to enforce
the law prohibiting saloon keepers from
selling liquor to minors.
Mrs. Raymond earnestly deplored the
fact that the Board had ever granted a
liquor license and hoped that they would
not do it again. The Board discussed the
question seriously and then somebody
made funny motion that the Police Com

law. What the new power" will cause
the hitherto impotent Police Commit tee
to do remains to be seen.
The Law Committee decided that Mr..
John Nolan was entitled to his position
as Commissioner on the main sewer.
1t seems that Mr.. Nolan's father had
owned property within the area benefited
by the sewer, but had sold 1t two days be-
fore his son had qualified.
The Committee of the Whole in its re-
port, among other things, refused to
grant the Lincoln Club, a republican or
ganization, permission to meet in the
Town Hall. Mr.. Klumpp complained of a
growler gang, as he classicaliy termed II,
on the Hackensack Plank road. Chief
of Police Ridgeway will disperse it. The
contract for the sewer on High Point ave-
nue. was awarded to Peter Tuohey.
Union Hill's Town Council.
The Union Hill Council met last even
ing. Councilman Rub objected to the
statement in the minutes, that he had
voted in favor of changing the date of the
meeting from Monday to Wednesday
evening. Clerk Ahles made the necessary
change, and then things went smoothly
again.
Greenburgh & Co. will light the town
with electricity, and pay three per cent.
of the proceeds for the pleasure. The Rev.
Messrs. Russell, Gowan, King, Schoppe,
Justin and the Rev. Father Grief COM
planned to the Board of the festivity OF
the chowder parties, which think that
tantasias ON fish horns are conducive to
the solemnity of the Sabbath. The Board
will investigate.
Max Ruch, the saloonkeeper, whose
license was revoked some three months
ago, but who managed to keep open dur
ing that length of time anyhow, was shut

returned to him minus $37, which the
Board claims he owes the town for three
months license.
He told the Board that unless they re-
turned him his money, he would sue
them. Then Mr.. Rub and his colleagues
exchanged spicy compliments.
The Councilmen have decided to redeem
s., 500 worth of bonds, which are not due
until January, but as the town has the
money, they prefer to save the six
months interest.
