OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS.
From His Honor tho Mayor:
JERSEY CITY, June 2, 1892.
The Honorable the Board OF Street and
Water Commissioners:
GENTLEMEN:-The resolution OF your
Board dated June 2, 1892, relating to pay
ment of employees in Lamp department
for month ending MAY 81. 1892, amount
ing in the aggregate TO S305, is returned
without signature.
The April account was 1857: one EN-
ploye was dropped in May; all of them
should be dispensed with. Either the
present Lamp Inspector should do the
manual labor called for by his position
and have the occasional assistance of
some general workman in the employ of
your Board, or a new INSPECTOR should be
appointed, and he should be a man used
to doing outdoor manual work, with suf1-
cient capacity TO do the small amount of
clerical work that is necessary, and who
would be willing to do the work in return
for the comfortable compensation of 800
per month.
The 800 paid to the Lamp Inspector is
not included in the 1906 under considera-
ton; including both amounts the Depart
ment has cost for salary and wages for
the mont of May, S4O5. 1t is a conviction
with me that this money was not earned.
l might say in passing that two Of the
names on the list, F. NJ. Decker, the
clerk, and Thos. Walsh, helper on WAGON,
do not appear m the minutes of your
ROard az pDD0intn6 nv asau roco1nfiou Of
your Board, and they have consequently
not been employed by any official act of
your Board. Very Truly,
P. F.lWANsER, Mayor.
JERSEY CITY, June II, 1892,
The Honorable The Board OF Street and
Water Commissioners:

sons named respectively for services
rendered as laborers in public parks for
month ending May 31st, 1892. amounting
in the aggregate 60 $500.

is returned without signature, as all Of
the men on the list were put to work by
a committee which may mean three of
your members, two or one. as no minutes
ara kept Of the work of a committee: to
become employees of your Board the men
should be employed by resolution at a
meeting OF your Board, which makes the
employment an official act of your Board,
OF which all persons interested can be adj
vised by reading the record of your Board
