of Alderman but one was held last night.
Aldermen O'Neill and Smith failed to put
in an appearance. The claims of the
election officers, and other election
expenses, aggregating $l00000o. were
ordered paid.
A new law requires that all applications

loon at No. 495 Communipaw avenue,
through her counsel w. d. DAILY, opened
the Aldermen's eyes by exposing what is
supposed to be scheme to deprive her of
her license. A petition from John Kaiser
to open saloon at No. 495 Communipaw
avenue Is in the hands of the committee
on excise, and the license would have
been granted last night but for the conti-
ton of affairs said to exist. Mrs. Maturin
claims that she holds license which does
not expire until July l. She also holds a
lease on the property, No. 495 Communi-
paw avenue, and asks that Kaiser's license
be not granted to avoid civil proceedings.
Mrs. Maturin claims that she has been il
legally dispossessed.

FINANCIERS CONCUR.
The Appointments of Messrs.
Bedell, Hoos and Moriarty
Confirmed.

Mayor Cleveland this morning con-
firmed the appointments of Mr.. Alva A.
Bedell to the Board of Finance. Mr..
Daniel Moriarty to the Sinking Fund
Commission, and reappointments of
Commissioner Hitler to the Board of
Finance and William f. Kern to the
Board of Fire Commissioners.
The semi-official announcement, made
few days ago. of these appointments
was discredited by many politicians. but
the confirmation of the announcement
this morning set all wondering minds at
rest. The confirmation was made at
noon. Prior to that time many promin-
ent politicians were seen about the City
Hall, but this afternoon all was quiet,
and by one o'clock but the clerks in the
various offices were visible.
THEY HAVE ACCEPTED.
Ex-Alderman Hoos' who was appointed
member of the Board of Appeals, has
accepted the office and will enter upon
his duties at once. Mr.. Daniel Moriartv
has likewise accepted the office to
which he was appointed. Mr.. Alva
Bedell. the new Finance Commis-
sioner. is not as yet aware of his
appointment. He is touring through
this city next Monday. He will be noti-
fed of his appointment by Mayor Cleve-
land Immediately upon his arrival. NO
doubt is expressed as to his acceptance.
Mr.. w. l.. Franken bach, now a member
of the Board of Appeals, will accept the
office to which he was appointed. Mr..
Frankenbach is well known resident of
the Heights. He is German and has
been a quiet worker in the Republican
ranks.
Robert Jordan has for years been iden-
titled as true supporter of Democracy.
He has served many terms as an Alder
man from the First district. He has an
env1able reputation as politician.
WANSER'S BLUFF.
Considerable surprise is expressed and
much unfavorable comment made rela-
tive to Mayor-elect Wanser's state
ment TO the effect that he
would remove the members of the
Boark of Appeals appointed by the retlr-
ing Mayor. Mayor Cleveland is prepar-
ing to take his departure from the office,
in which he has ruled the city for so many
years. Private papers and property of
the retiring official are being packed
and removed and the out
look is that the Offices will be
thoroughly renovated before Mayor-elect
JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter, Mayor
Cleveland said this morning:-"THE JER-
sEY CITY NEWS is in error in it's state
ments concerning my making deals. am
Democrat. and 1 have not
betrayed my party, nor would
l do it. have made no deals
of any description. l have had no secret
conferences with any Republican leaders.
/ have not seen any influential Republi-
cans to converse with since long before

Before retiring Mayor Cleveland will
probably be called upon to attach his
signature to an unusually large number
of resolutions from the various municipal
boards.
