THE BOARD OF FINANCE.

MI. Brinkcrhoff Briefly Disposes of MIR.
Hudspeth.
Nothing transpired at the meeting of
the Board of Finance and Taxation last
evening to relieve it of the monotony of
the usual routine meeting. The Comp
troller's report showed that the receipts
during the past week had been $3S,630.53.
OF this amount 500 were from the gen
eral tax, 2,346.65 from assessments, ST.
S30.67 from water rents, 81, use. OF from the
sinking fund of 1873 and Sl3,S33. ~ from
tax arrearages. 88
A batch of papers were received from
Corporation Counsel Brinkerhoff. He
declared that if "the Board of Works
should determine that the supply of water
is insufficient for the public requirements,
or may be so insuficiently distributed as
to fundamentally expose public or private
property to destruction by fire, owing to
the fewness or condition of the pumps
employed under the provisions of an act
of the last Legislature, the Board OF
Works, with the concurrence of the Board
of Finance, can purchase new pumps;
But in SO doing they must not expend
more than 81. 006. The proposals hereto
fore received cannot be applied to the oil
rections of this act.
BRINKERHoFF ON HUDsPETH.
The communication which Mr.. Huds-
peth sent to the Board some time ago
stating that Mr.. Hudspeth had been APP
pointed Corporation Attorney under an
express contract which the Board could
not violate at will, and intimating that
the writer would have to invoke the aid
of the court unless he was reinstated, Mr..
Brinkerhoff disposed of by recommend
ing that it be filed, as Mr.. Hudspeth had
no legal standing on the facts submitted.
Mr.. Brinkerhoff recommended that the
communication of President Edelste1n
and Clerk German, of the Board of FL
nance, demanding that all books, papers
and other things" belonging to the Board
the matter is now in the courts.
The official bond of John r. Hewitt
was fixed at 5000 and $780, 600 was ordered
paid to County Collector Hugh Dugan on
account of county taxes. Eighteen thou
sand dollars were ordered paid TO Con
tractor Byrnes for cleaning sewers;
A resolution offered by COMMISSIONS
| Warren was adopted directing the Clerk
to notify the Board of Works that tht
Board would not concur in any more reso
buttons for the purchase of OIL meters
dydrants, gates, corporation cocks, iroI
pipe, coal, pig iron and lead unless TIN
same be purchased by contract under pro
nosals received in answer to public adyer
tisements.
ABOUT A SEWER.
Mr.. John G. Smith and Commissioner
Tumulty, of the Board of Works, callet
| the attention of the Board TO the sewer il

breaks in the sewer, through which quick
sand has poured in until the seweri is com
pletely choked up. The water is within

NEW HAVEN, May "a, 1889. -Sworbach's
wild delivery aided materially in giving
Jersey City in the first inning yesterdays
game with the local Atlantic Association
Club. After the first heat both teams
settled down to steady play and q hot en-
counter occurred. The New Ravens were
being the only one to hit the ball safe.
The Jersey Citys found some difficulty
also in hitting the ball. s'Chic" Hofford
got in a couple of nice singles, while
Knowles, Inland and Burke each got one.
The hits, however, were too scattered to
be effective for run-getting. All the runs
scored by Jersey City were made by men
who had gone to first base on called balls.
The game was virtually a contest between
the batteries, and 1T was a good one. The
