LISTENING TO KlCKERs.

Street and water Commissioners Hear
Talk Against improvements.
The Street and Water Board met last
evening to listen to circumstances against
the improvement of Germania and Lin
den avenues and Herbert place.
L. Bettinger opposed the Germania
avenue Improvement, because he cannot
pay the assessment of ss1 per lot. He had
signed for the improvement on the under
standing that the assessment would not
exceed $50 per lot. The change on the
grade would also, he said, destroy the
value of his holdings.
Nicholas Hofiinger took similar
grounds.
Ex-Commissioner Reuben Simpson ex-
planned that he had gotten up the petition
for the Linden avenue improvement be-
cause he believed it to pe needed. A fire
house is on that avenue, and If there were
hire in Greenville the engine could not
reach it.
MIR. Simpson, as already stated in THE
NEWS, has paid the preliminary assess
ment.
The action on the improvement was de-
ferred till it can be ascertained whether
the remonstrance made against it is big
enough to defeat it,
+. q, Freund made an address against
the opening of Herbert place from Cot
tage street to Newark avenue. The city
is allowing Frank Mitchell, he contended,
too much for a strip of property it
purchased to aid the improvement.
Mitchell bought it for 81 200 and has
turned it in to the city for 81, 500 In spite
of Mr.. Freund's kick, it was found that
the owners of the requisite number of feet
to secure the improvement had signed for
it and Herbert place will be opened.
1t is to be feet wide with foot
walk on either side.

MINES In TRUCK FARMS.

paw Shore.

An important condemnation case was
commenced this morning before Com
missioners Garrick, O'Neil and Lembeck
by the Jersey City, Newark and Western
Railway Company vs.. George Vreeland
and Garrett Vreeland of Greenville.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company is
in reality the party interested in the con-
demnation and it wants a portion of the
property for the construction of a trestle
The property consists of two plots on
the west side OF the canal, about 200 feet
in length, and comprising about three
acres in ALL For several years it has been
a valuable truck farm. G. l.. Corbin
represented the corporation and w. ID.
Edwards appeared for the Vreelands.
The latter in presenting the case for his
clients, told the Commissioners what he
proposed to show, that George Vreeland
had successfully worked his truck farm;
that the average receipts therefrom per
year from 1877 to the present time were
from $11 900 to $4,000 The counsellor
during that period for all purposes, and
the net income from the farm, amounting
to S4 ,I64 the lowest year, and SO, ZOO for the
highest year.
He claimed that it has paid four and a
half per cent for years on q capital of
over $780, 900, and that If undisturbed it
will do as well and better in the future.
He said the owners were abundantly
able to hold the property, and in speaking
of its close proximity to the Greenville
railroad station, said the property had
become valuable for villa sites.
The property is gold mine to the
Vreelands," he went on. sit is worth
10000 annually to George VreeIand, and
the owners are entitled to the full value
of the land for business purposes, and

bacco factory, she came over from New

while drinking beer at the house of her
friend, was put ont, and, in a helplessly
intoxicated condition, found herself the
victim of a gang of hoodlums in the lum-
Der region. She was arrested early yes

How the Land LAYS.

The situation at the seat of war, in the
South Cove grant, between the Central
and the Lehigh Valley Railroad COM
panies and the city authorities remains
practically unchanged since the Lehigh
operations while at work reconstructing
the Henderson street bridge on Sunday
last.
The city's property, the grant OF land
1, 1,090x800 feet. beyond Henderson street
bridge. has been enclosed with fencing to
the water front on each side. A
portion of the trestle leading to
the Central Company for depositing
the Hoboken Coal Company's coal en-
croaches many feet on the east side of
the street line, and the Centrars tracks
run clear across the grant on the other
siue, and one half of the Henderson street
freight station is built on the city's grant
1t was for the removal of these obstruc-
tions that the Street and Water Board at
this mornings meeting ordered notice
sent to the company's Office
JUST IN TINE.
Had it not been for the calling off of it's
force of men to make certain repairs to
float bridges over week ago a branch
track already under construction would
have reached the trestle of the
before the city authorities began to fence
it's property. 1t does seem somewhat
strange, however that the company
should have called off it's men just as the
new track reached the line of the city
property.
Just what the Lehigh Company is bent
upon since operations at the Henderson
street bridge on Sunday were interrupted
by the police. is what seems to puzzle
everybody. A force of men have been
ballasting the hastily constructed track
as far up as the bridge
and walling the canal bank with stones
as though it was intended as permanent
structure The heavy spiling apparatus
still occupies its position on the bridge.
Yesterday morning a portion of the rig
ging was removed as though the COM
pany had decided to suspend operations
for time at least
But this is only looked upon as blind
by the police, who have constantly been
on guard since Sunday.
