liens or arrears were to be used to pay OH.
as far as they would g Q, the bonds origin
ally issued to carry the liens.
But / am under the impression that
your Board has collections from that OBJ
ject, and used them TO pay off mutured
Improvement certificates issued 10 make
new improvements. and If so. that should
be corrected 1t is violation OF the
spirit, il not of the letter OF the law.
And While correcting this matter there
is another practice that has obtained
without any Intentional impr0priety, but
that needs to be corrected. The expenses
attendant upon executing the Act re-
ferred to have been very large The Act
requires that they should be paid out of
the first moneys collected, but that has
not been done Whenever the amounts
collected from arrears of taxes, ar
rears of assessments and arrears of water
rents have amounted to any considerable
sum the amount has been divided be-
tween the different accounts by your
Board without reference to the expenses,
and then when call has been MADE Dy
the Adjustment Commissioners for funds
for their salaries ana other expenses, a
warrant has been ordered drawn upon
the general account adjusted lien ac-
count as if it had rot already been
divided and exhausted.
Z These expenses now stand as de-
fclency and proper adjustment should
be made so that each account shall bear
it's proper proportion and the apparent
deficiency disappear.
Another matter in this connection
needs attention. The law authorizing
an adjustment of assessments, also au-
thorizgs an adjustment of arrears of
water rents. This has been done, and
the collections from this source should go
to the Sinking Fund for the redemption
of water bonds, but instead the amounts
and have been there expended. These
irregularities were inherited from the
former city government. but they should
be stopped for the future and proper
adjustment made for the past.
IL may be my own fault that l did not
know until today that your board was
pursuing the course pointed out, and /
am sure you will be glad to have the
matters adjusted.
Very respectfully.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Stuart Robson in 1.-THE Henrietta
has been filling the New Opera House
every night this week. Last night
President Young of the First National
Bank and party occupied stage box.
Next week Primrose and Vests great
minstrel troupe will occupy the house.
Their street parade will start from
the Opera House at eleven o'clock on
Monday morning. 1t will attract as
much atten tion as a big circus.
Business has been good at the
Academy, and the audiences show
that they think ''All the Comforts of
Holnen one of the finest things put on
the stage. The company is very
good, as Mr.. Frohman's companies
always are. Next week Cora Tanner
in Clinton Stuart's domestic drama
will She Divorce Him?" will play
her annual engagement at this house.
The play has been a pronounced sue
cess.

"Ktdnapped" in Hoboken.

''Kidnapped," a highly sensational
comedy-drama, was produced at the
Hoboken Thestre last night. The plot
is interesting and exciting. Grace
Baybrook, the daughter of Wall
street operator, falls in love with
Philip Nortncote, a young artist. Her
father speculates unfortunately and
becomes indebted to Antoine LaZette,
O. cunning knave.
Lazette demands, as the price of the
Indebtedness, Grace Baybrook's hand
In marriage. The young woman is
compelled to give her lover up. La
zette, who is a married man, conceals
the fact, murders his wife and fastens
the crime on young Northcote. Miss
Baybrook deserts Lazette at the
altar, and Louie Rhinegold, German
dude, fastens the crime of murder on
LazeJte, clears Philip, and everything
ends happily. The drama is in five
acts, and the scenic effects
are first class. The cast could be inn
proved, however w. t. Hatch as
Antonia Lazette is noticeably weak.
So is Miss Georgia Waldron as Grace
Bay the heroine. The rest of
the cast. however, is first class. Mr..
ID. K. Higgins, as Ionic Rhinegold,
the German dude, plays his part ex-
cellently. Miss Lizzie Conway. as
Maggie McMooney, a true Irish heart,
and Mr.. j. II. Ryan as Michael Nc
Cooney, kept the audience in roars oi
laughter. Miss Susie Howard as
Daisy was very good. Kidnapped
will be produced again tonight and at
two performances tomorrow.
The Jersey City news., 1891-09-18

only cause for regret i'll the matter is
that while the object has not been ac-
complished the organization has prob
ably lost nothing. 1t did lose money
at first, but it probably recouped its
losses by its last performance. Tickets
were sold as long as deluded purchas-
ers could be found to pay for them
and it is estimated the sales
were four times the utmost
capacity OF the house, tax
ing the aisles and every conceiv-
able inch of standing room into con-
sideration. One cause for gratiiica-
tion remains, however. The man
ayers, in trying to swindle each other
as well as the public, have fallen out,
and though ''honest men" may not
come by their own" in this falling
out of thieves" there is hope, at least,
that the latter may, like the Xii
kenny cats, :" eat each other up.

That Fake Waterworks Strike.

That Fake WaterworkS strike
There is very disagreeable appear
ance of fakiness about that threatened
Belleville strike. 1t looks remark
ably like a put-up job. 1t seems
as if, not the men but their
bosses had invented it as a
means of bulldozing the Finance
Board. However that may be, it is
certain that the delay in paying Them
is absolutely the fault of the Street
and Water Board. The obstinate
bad faith shown in the matter of re-
ducing the pay roll is only one element
of it's culpability. Almost equally
bad is the delay in forwarding the
pay rolls to the Finance Board for
concurrence. OF this it can only be
said that it is caused by gross and
criminal neglect or else that it is done
to conceal something crooked in the
return by delaying its audit.
We are treated to lurid pictures by
unexpected people of the dreadful
consequences of strike at the Belle
vile pumps-the water famine, the
undiluted coffee and the unwashed
babies. This is truly pathetic to
think OF. But If the Street and
Water Commissioners are not stand
ing in with the strikers, why do
they not provide against the possibil-
tiles of such water famine. The va
rous reservoirs are, altogether, capable
of holding sufficient water supply
for week. With economy, their con-
tents might even be made to last ten
days. II, then, there is any real dan
ger of strike it is the plain duty of
the Commissioners to have all the res
ervoirs pumped chock full at once
and kept chock full until all danger
of the strike is over Then, if the en-
ployes at Belleville stop the pumps,
the city will have an ample water
supply for week, and in that time a
complete new force can be employed
"a force of real workmen, not decrepid
and incompetent heelers, as the pres
ent force must be, judging from the
number of them it takes to do next to
no work.
OF course we believe that the men
should be paid. The city has con-
tracted an obligation to them 1t is
too late to inquire as to whether the
city got full equivalent for its
money. But the first step towards
the payment must come from the
Street and Water Board. That body
must give the Finance Board guaran-
tees that it's confidence is not being
abused before it can vote for the out
lay of single dollar of the city's
money.

The GRANTEES Final Fizzle.

The JERSEY CITY NEWS was the
first newspaper to turn down" the
Granite Observation-Disclosures it is
with justitiable pride that it records
the disruption of the organization.
The various swindles and extortions
of the club, its fizzles and fakes, have
been exposed in these columns and
the exposures have borne legitimate
fruit. The club was not organized
with any intention of advancing ath-
letics-it was a fake from the begin

to make money no matter
how or by what means. The

The fun being poked at General Grubb by
the Democratic and some of the Republican
press of other states because of his name and
his whiskers, will probably be enjoyed as mnch
by the General by outside tolks.- Camden
Courier.
And why not? General Grubb
knows that it is fun, pure and simple,
and that there is no malice in IL. The
Democrats and Republicans who say
these things about the Generals
whiskers are talking through their
own. When it comes to business and
social matters Democrats respect
General Grubb quite as sincerely as
his most devoted party friends. The
man is all right, his whislers are all
right--only his politics are wrong.
But of course he can't help that-it is
the fault of early education. Since
the United States cannot be repre-
sented at Madrid by a Democrat,
there are few Republicans who could
prove more satisfactory to New Jer-
sey than General Grubb. And Demo
Gratis like him all the better that he
knows joke when he sees one and is
ready to enjoy it.

IT seems more that doubtful
whether there will be any Chicago
Fair after all. The scandals attend
ing that Republican infamy are
mounting up day by day. The latest
revelation is embodied in a despatch
to the Herald from Los Angeles, CAL,
to the effect that Debroth Shorb has
just returned there from Chicago,
and charges that ''the management
of the Worlds Fair is rotten to the
core, and that steps are to be taken to
have it investigated unlesss Director
General Davis is removed" Moreover,
that Senator Stewart, of Nevada, has
promised to lead the fight in the
Senate. This gives poor outlook
for the Pork Show.
1T is real nice of Mrs. Fassett OF
ElInira to try and buy Governor
ship for her pretty little husband.
But the coveted title is not for sale in
New York State this year, and so the
Crocker millions are unavailable.
Fassett will be elected by the people
to stay at home and cultivate the
domestic virtues.
EX-SENATOR INGALLS, is strongly
of opinion that B. Harrison will be
renominated for the Presidency. We
think so too. The Blainites will not
dare to run their man in view of the
certain treachery of the Harrison
gang. The situation in the Republi-
can party is that either faction
would rather see the Democracy win
than its enemy within the party.
