WEST HOBOKEN'S CHARTER.
A Mass Meeting of Citizen Considers 1T
Provisions.


A Mass Meeting of Citizen Considers Its
Provisions.
The mass meeting of citizens held at
evening was well attended. The object
of the meeting was to discuss the new
charter proposed for the government of
the town.
Mayor Finnegan called the meeting to
order, and briefly explained the object OF
the call. Mr. Charles Galbraith then
took the chair, and Mr.. F. A. Schwartz
was chosen secretary.
Mr.. Galbraith spoke intelligently on
the charter, and advocated its adoption.
Mr.. Heinrich was the next speaker.
He reviewed the charter. and, while ex-
pressing himself in favor of the charters s
adoption. said that he feared it gave the
Council too much power.
Ex-Assemblyman A. Rich, the present
town attorney, replied to Mr.. Heinrich,
and, in a lengthy speech, explained the
principal sections of the charter. Mr..
Rich held that the power given the Coun-
cilmen by the charter was not excessive,
and that it would be almost impossible
for them to abuse their official privileges.
Mr.. Koch also said few words, but he,
like the others, seemed to fear that too
much power was giver to the Council.
Mr. Druck also spoke.
The majority of the citizens present
were in favor of dividing the town into
three wards and of having seven Council
men instead of five.
The petition for the new charter, which
must be signed by fifty Freeholders ac-
cording to law, was circulated during the
meeting.
The names which appear on it now are
G. j. Chandless, Augustus Rich, G. j.
Endler, l.. P. Druck, j. H. Middleton,
James F. Brett, Charles Gravatt, John
Nolan, c.. C. Rawling, T. A. Schwartz,
James o. Beine, Charles E. Golden and
Edward S. Goynes. 1t looks now as
though the charter would be adopted at

Committee on Public Schools of Hoboken,
and the latter will submit it to his col

In it Mr.. Stevens states that he has been
authorized by the company to offer the
city any of the following tracts of land for
the erection of school building:-
l. South side of Twelfth street, between
Willow and Park avenues, 1856 feet on
Twelfth street by 100 feet in depth
2. South side of Twelfth street. between
Willow and Park avenues. 165 feet on
Twelfth street by 100 feet deep.
8. Northwest corner of Willow avenue
and Eleventh streets, scant 100 feet on
Eleventh street by $50 feet on Willow
avenue.
1t was understood that should this plot
be insufficient in size the officers might
enlarge it by lengthening the front on
Willow avenue to 200 feet.
In referring to the tracts he says:-'We
are very decidedly of the opinion that the
location on northwest corner of Willow
and Eleventh streets will not only afford
the best accommodation and make the
new building more marked ornament
to the city, but will minimize the local
injury which public school always
inficts on adjacent property.
believe that after your committee
have consulted your architects you will
agree with this company as to the greater
desirabillty of this tract"
