The following communication vas read
by Assistant Clerk Talson from Corpora
tlon Counsel Edwards in reference to the
cpmpletionasof the Academy street inn
p-rovernent:-
l am in receipt of a communication from your
clerk calling my attention., under your direc-
tions, to a communication relative to the COM
pletion of the improvement Of Academy street,
which, he says, was referred to me on November
II. 1889.
/ respectfully submit that although, according
to your minutes, the matter was referred toathe
Committee of the Whole and the Corporation
| Counsel, no notification, official or otherwise,
was ever sent or made to me by your clerk, the
committee OF anyone else, of that fact. Since
my attention has been called to the matter
L find that no lsserious attempt has
beT9 made since 1873 to compel the
COLLECTION Of the large sum of money spent on
| this Improvement; ia order that we may proceed
adyisedly l have directed MIR. Fowler, the As
sessment Clerk, to prepare "a statement of. the
past proceedings and of the present difficulties.
When this has been done / shall advise your
Committee of the Whole Of the best method to
be pursued. The first step will probably be the
formal vacation at this point OF the old highway
leading to Waldo avenue. which is no longer
used. Respectfully, Nl

THE DISTURBED SCOTS.

They Object to Treasurer Robbins Be-
cause He is a Politician.
The trouble in the Scots was not occa-
sionedl by a row logerthes prizes and an in-
timation that the president and ex-treas-
urer had been guilty Of making a COM
mission on the purchase as stated by our
contemporary. 81
1t was, as The NEWS stated, objection
to ex-Assessor John Robbins serving as
treasurer. Robbins has been identified
with political organizations, and during
his term as president The organization
went almost to pieces, as it was regarded
as a part Of the Republican political ma
chine in the Third district. A physician
advanced the money TO keep II alive.
The politicians were shelved at the
election last year and the change was
beneficial, The debt Of $500 was, cancelled
and the year closed With the having
a bank balance of aSSS9i59. @Another

THE LEAGUE AVERAGES
Scots Object to a Poll;
ticiah-- Bowling and
Athletics. 4rm

The season Of the Jersey City Amateur
Bowling League is half over. There are
sixty games on the schedule and the thir-
tieth was bowled on Friday night. In all
new organizations, particularly where
The members are engaged in an exciting
competition, the institution, like new
machinery, rarely runs smoothly 1t is
rot till it is worn slightly and the defects
cured that it.goes on swiftly and without
breaks.
The League was an experiment and it
was anticipated by The tnost sanguine of
its promoters that there would be trifling
disturbances a5 short intervals until those
parts out of gear were properly adjusted.
The League, however, has run like Il
well regulated clock. There has been
only one Interruption, and that was
quickly over and it has since moved with
ease and precision.
The clubs are contepted and it is pleas
ant for thom$t to meet theirfriendlv rivals.
1t is now u powerful body Il itssmembers
are all in hearty accord and firm ad-
herents Of tho league. s4Aa
The organization has doIe Il grand
work in promoting amateur bowling and
interest IL the healtilful pastiiife has oeen
increased.
The principal object Of the League was
to effect u strong Union Of young gentle
men and make friends OF those, who were,
utter strangers. In this the promoters
have been Successful. The bowlers are
now a jolly band OF brothers.
The CONTESTS for the trophy are still
interesting, rs the two leaders are in close
company. but it looks as il the clubs will
keep in the places they now occupy until
tile end Of tls season. Bowling is uncers
tain and mahy surprising changes may
occur md thelast may Q first at the close.
The independents now lead by a small
margin, closely followed by the Fair
mounts and Centurys.
The returns are not ali in, and the fol-
lowing averages are based on the re-
turns Of the irst ten games, These will
not be materially clsanged by the injuries
OF the galnesaplayed and neo included.
The averages of the clubs are as fol-
