tien Of this character the Boards only
looked TO the creation of the debt and not
to its payment For example If the City
Hall is built $4,000 worth Of the bond s
will have to be met each year Ia the tax
levy. This Is the only way in which the
debt OF Jersey City can be reduced and
II the Republicans, when they had con-
prol or the city government between
1871 and 1877, during which time the
major part of the debt was incurred had
pursued this line As per cent. of the tax
levy would not now be needed each year
to pay interest on the public debt.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
One of the most economical depart :
ments ever heard Of is the Fire Depart
n1ent. After The recent great storm
when all the fire. telegraph and telephone
wires were down and the department
started to repair them, an old agreement
with the telephone company made In 1877
with the predecessors of the present COM
pany was found. This compelled the
Telephone Company to keep the fire alar M
service in order and furnish the necessary
wire. Former administrations had paid
no attention to this agreement and the
city b as In decade spent thousands of
dollars to keep the service in repair.
The present administration, however.
recalled it and promptly notified the COM
pany that it would be expected to live mp
to the agreement. At first, the company's
sSAAASDAo pun bSOAC0 bdC SLcC1t4b Hln
said that 1t had to be obrogated by nom
usuaRe. But when the commissioners
told them that it was a poor rule that did
not work both ways, and notifieds them
that should they give up the privileges
they enjoyed under the agreement, they
found the wire right away and repaired
the damage; thus saving the city between
s., 900 and $4,000.
For many years the telephone company
have placed its poles practically where it
pleased in the city. There was no ordi :
nance upon the subject aud for years th 9
city paid large sums of money for tsle :
phone service. The present Government
passed an ordinance designating the man
ner in which the poles should be erected
and providing that the service to all the
city departments should be free. The re-
suit besides controlling theserection of
poles, the city saves $500 year which
the city formerly paid for telephone SER
vice.
These are but few of the many partic-
ulars in which the present Municipal
Government has been Of benefit to the
city

DIR. SUYDAM'S SUCCESSOR.

It May Be the Rev. Dr. Grimm of Brook
Iyn--A high salaried Preacher.
1t is highly probable that the Rev. DR..
Griffin of Brooklyn will be the successor
Of the Rev. DR.. Suydarn. DIR. Griffin is about
forty-seven years old, is above the medium
height and has strong, marked features
he is dark compIexioned and wears a
mustache and beard. During the two
Sundays he has preached there the con-
gregation have been more than pleased,
ana last Sunday night the church was
crowded by those who desired to see him.
The Consistory has not decided to call
DR. Griffin for it Is feared that he will
demand a salary the church can
not afford to pay. It was
said Yesterday by q member of the con-
gregabi0n that DIR. Griilin's figure was
s., 600, but this was not a positive state
ment. IN conversation with prominent
member Of the Park Reformed Church
about DR.. Suydam's SUCCESSOR a reporter
for The NEWS was told
The Rev. DR.. Griffin Of Brooklyn deliy-
cred excellent sermons at the Park Re-
formed Church and made a favorable
impression on Easter Sunday. He will
again fill the pulpit OF the Park Church
today, morning and evening. DR.. Griffin
Is an eloquent speaker. and. though q
highly cultured man, his language is
simple and plain. His gestures are per
feet. adding life to his sermon however
heavy his subject may be.
While preaching the Doctor seems to
throw his whole weight into his subject
and enlists his audience from the begin
ing, and holds them deeply interested
through his entire sermon.
DR.. Griffin is said to be great church
worker, and from over-work was COM
Delled to sever his connection with his
charge in Brooklyn a few years ago. and
has since been on the continent to recupe-
rate. He now returns in good health
and Is again ready to enter the field. II
has not yet been decided to extend call
to DR.. Griffin, though most of the COZ.
gregation speak of him in high terms, and
it is said that he is highly spoken of by
prominent ministers.
From ali accounts it seems that the
calling CT DR.. Griffin would be quite an
accession to the ministry of this city, and
we have no doubt that the people of our
city will give credit to the consistory OF
the Park Church for taking nigh aim. y

The success of these efforts is known to
