TOO HOT FOR H0BOKEN.
All the Starch Out of the Council
men, and They Are Quiet.

Owing to the extreme heat last night
the meeting of the Hoboken Council was
devoid of ali excitement. Councilman
Boncelet, who is heavy weight, tried to
get Councilman Londrigan excited, but
remarks which on any other night would
have made Patsy" roar, were passed un-
needed by him, and he would only say that
1t was too warm to talk and the large
lobby left rather disappointed.
Ali the members were present. Coun-
Gilman Londrigan at once arose to a ques-
tion Of privilege. He held in his hand q
| copy of Jersey City sheet noted for the
unreliability Of its Hoboken news, in
which he had been accused of receiving
a bribe. Councilman Londrigan wanted
a special committee appointed to
| thoroughly investigate the story. Chair
man Stanton agreed TO the request, and
| said that the whole Board was under the
| ban of suspicion by the story published.
| He then appointed the following COM
mittee of three to meet and hear testi-
| mony on Friday evening, Councilmen
| Bewig, Snyder and Timken.
The West Hoboken authorities petit
toned for electric lights on Fourteenth
! street, instead of the gas lamps, and
/ stated that 1t was necessary for the safety
| of pedestrians. Councilman Erlenkoetter
Thought that West Hoboken should bear
\ the expense The Tax Commissioner
report was received and placed in full
| upon the minutes.
| A lengthy opinion from the Corpora
| tion Attorney was read. 1t stated in sub
| stance that the Street Commissioner held
| over until his successor was appointed,
| and that no one member of the Street
! Committee had power to put men to
| work on the streets or appoint any other
| Street Commissioner, and recommended
| that in future all meetings of the Street
Committee be attended by the Street
| Commissioners and that they act in har-
mOny.
| The opinion was a sort Of black eye for
Councilman Londrigan. who put lot OF
men TO work on his own responsibility.
Councilman Boncelet, who is a member
of the Committee on Streets, arose and
said:-"I would like to hear some re-
marks from Councilman Londrigan on
the subject"
Councilman Londrigan:-"0h, it is too
warm to talk tonight
Hereafter want Councilman Londri-
gan to consult with me about all commit
tee matters" added Councilman Bonce-
let.
tits too warm to answer the gentle
man." answered Councilman Londrigan,
mopping his brow with bandanna.
