AFTER THE VACATION
Municipal Business Re-
sumed by the Alder
men.
THOSE FIRE ORDINANCES.
Salinger Wipes His Hands Of the
Business, but the Democratic
Members Are Ready to
Take Hold.

The Board of Aldermen, after sum
mer's vacation. pulled itself together last
night. Alderman Norton was the only
member not in that particular ''pull."
Alderman Connolly was present before
the Chairman raped for order. but did
not remain. Mr.. Salinger was on hand
early, with wide trimmed soft black
felt hat. presumably filed with campaign
bricks. But there was such small lobby
and none of them was thrown. There
was absolutely nothing said about Mr..
Salinger's fire escape and fire limit ordi-
nances. In fact. under the rules, if they
are even to be passed, all the parliament
tary work will have to be gone through
with again. A canvass of the Democratic
members convinced me that Mr.. Salin
gers ordinances will never be passed
and that while it is necessary to pas $
such ordinances. and the Democratic
members will pass such ordinances, they
are making haste very slowly indeed.
Mr.. Salinger, when approached upon
the subject, simply said: Pm done.
I've done my simple duty" In further
conversation, Mr.. Salinger, who is APP
parently opposed to a new water supply
from private corporation, incidentally
remarked that he would have something
TO say upon the water question at the
proper time. Somebody is running his
head against stone." said he, nodding
his head quickly, winking one eye, mean
while chewing vigorously upon the butt
of Flor del Fuma.
The meeting of the Board was decidedly
tame. The Election Committee was di-
rected to prepare the ballot-boxes and
other election paraphernalia and secure
necessary stationery for the next regis
tration and election.
LOTS OF EXCISE BUSINESS.
The Excise Committee reported favor
ably on the transfer of twenty-five res
taurant licenses and upon the granting of
forty-six new ones.
The action heretofore taken on twenty
one licenses that have not yet been called
for was rescinded. They were mainly
applications of those who have since sold
out are selling under licenses purchased
from other holders.
Among the applications granted was
that of the famous Mrs. Bolton, who for
SO long, fought the remonstrance present.
ed by the members of Pastor Staehli'S
and the Scotch Presbyterian church.
Mrs. Bolton has surrendered. She will
move to Wayne street.
Alderman O'Neill presented the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted and Or
dered spread in full upon the minutes:
WELCOMING THE BROTHERHOOD.
Whereas, The Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers propose to hold union
meeting at Mullone'S Opera House, Jer-
sey- City, September 27. 1891, at 1.30
O'Clock p. m., at which meeting the wives
and daughters of the members will be
present.
Resolved, That, recognizing the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers rs an
organization commendable for its for
-bearance, patience, bravery and fortitude
under very trying circumstances, en-
gagged in an occupation that demands So
briefly, Watchfulness and steady nerves,
intrusted daily with the lives of thou
sands of their fellow beings. this Board
of Aldermen welcome the assemblage to
our city and wish them success in closer
brotherhood and in all things that tend
to educate. instruct and elevate their
organization.
The following resolution was also
adopted;-
Resolved, That committee of three be
appointed, to be called the Committee on
Legislative Enactment, to endeavor to
restore to the representatives OF the people
powers now delegated to appointive
officers.
President Allen appointed Aldermen
McEntee, McCoohery and Day as the
committee.
James Reid and Frank McGurr were
appointed City WeigherS. Alderman
Dusenberry's resolution calling for their
appointments was some months ago laid
upon the table through a misunderstand-
ing. The two men are in the employ of
Hitler & Co.. drug manufacturers, and it
is necessary that weighers thus employed
should have the sanction Of the city
authorities.
