have piled hundreds Of paving blocks on
the sidewalk making it an impossibility
for pedestr ians to get down that side Of
the street without walking in the road
way. The cutters are choked with dirt
and water flows down the middle Of the
street.
The board walk In front of the City
Hospital is still in its old and dangerous
condition. This morning Warded Osborn
began repairs on his own account and
patched the boards as well as he could.
A new walk wouldn't cost a fortune.

HOBOKEN POLITICS.
What the .'Journal' Doesn't Know
About Them shown Yesterday.

What the .'Journal'' Doesn't Know
About Them shown Yesterday
The Journals article ON Hoboken
politics last night created no end of
amusement among the few politicians
who read it. The article relates that
there will bel a bitter fight for Assembly
man in the Tenth district There will be
no fight at all. If President Russ OF the
Board Of Education, does not get the
regular Democratic nomination. he will
show his good sense by keeping out of the
race.
The funny part OF the article, however,
is that 1t states that Sew. L. Jacobs is
slated for School Trustee in the First
ward. There is no election for School
Trustee until the spring. Then Mr..
Jacobs, who is vice-president of the
Michael J. Coyle Association. may be a
candidate for Alderman. He certainly
will not run for School Trustee. The ar
ticie also adds that Simon Kelly is hustl-
ing for the Democratic nomination for
Freeholder in the Tenth district. The
article assumes that there is to be an
election for Freeholder this fall. The
Journal is awfully mixed on Hoboken
politics.
