Once, 16 Exchange Place.
JERSEY City, N. j., August 30, 1891.
To the Board of Police Commissioners OF the
City of Jersey City
GENTLEMEN:-We are anxious of securing
place in the lower part of Jersey City in tho
neighborhood of Harsimus Cove to store pile
of manure to hold for shipment; and being
anxious to work in conformity to the laws OF
your Board, we write you asking the desired
permission.
Hoping you will grant our request and appoint
a day when one of our concern can go with your
agent and select the proper place. We remain,
respectfully yours,
B. N. & ]. F. SHAsLEx.
President Feeney voiced the sentiments
of the other Commissioners when he
vigorously denounced this request aud
| declared that this city did not want any
manure stored in it. He characterized
| the manure scheme as a nuisance and
asked the members to order the commu-
| nication returned to Messrs. Stanley. It
was SO ordered by the Board, and the
| Shanleys will not have the
| chance to poison the air as they have
done on the west side of the Hill with the
vast manure piles that they keep year in
| and year out, and which DIR. L. J. Gordon
| appears to be unable to remove. IL he
really desires to do SO. 1t is pity Presi-
| dent Feeney can not take some such
action in this existing nuisance as he has
| in the proposed one.
