VETO FOR THE BUDGET.
Mayor Wanser Will Demand Mira
cles in the Way of Re-
ductions.

There is trouble brewing over the tax
budget recently adopted by the Board of
Finance. Mayor Wanser, it is said, is
piqued because he was not called in and
uritad to air his views on the subject of
the appropriations. He will retaliate, it
is said by refusing to sign the budget.
He will have Spencer Weart, it is said,
write long letter.
The Financiers will promptly pass the
budget over his veto, unless some really
practical suggestion is embodied in it.
ANY such will, of course, receive due at
tention.
Commissioner Peterson's refusal to
sign the budget is the reason Mayor
Wanser will not approve it. Finance
Commissioner Peterson has held several
conferences with Mayor Wanser since the
adoption of the budget and the outcome
of these will be the veto.
Commissioner Hitler is also somewhat
put out because his colleagues in the
Board did not await his return before
preparing the budget. Last night Mr..
Hitler investigated the budget This
morning at half past nine O'Clock ne and

ance at Mayor Wauser's Office. His Honor

VILE REPUBLICAN PLOT.
Fake Attack to be Made by Wanser
Upon the Street and Water
Board.

Mayor WRnser and few of his Repub-
lfcan allies are preparing fake but very
formidable attack upon the Democratic
party for use in the State campaign. The
Street and Water Commissioners are the
victims as usual. For the past week or
two Wanser has been in consultation
with Judge John A. Blair and others,
members of the Union League Club. The
services of two or three Republican law
yers have bsen engaged to prepare the
charges, and they aTs to be OF highly
sensational character. The cherges will
be made up of the blood and thunder
fictions of various Republican orators in
the recent campaign. They will
be nicely fixed up to resemble
fact SO as to make the blood
of unthinkiRg voters thrill A fake in
vestigation of the charges prepared will
be made by the Mayor himself, and he
will pass Judgment upon the Street and
Water Commissioners. finding them
guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors.
Governor Albeit will then be asked to re-
move the Commissioners from office. This
is the purpose OF the whole movement
to place Governor Albeit in dilemma.
If The Governor removes the Commis SION
ers. it is hoped by Wanser and his follow
els, that large part OF the Democratic
party may become estranged. Such
action would also, they think, give Re-
publican orators an opportunity to claim
that the Governor had passed condem-
nation upon his own party. But
if, as is almost certain, he finds
the evidence insufficient to remove
the Commissioners, then the scream of
the Republican spellbinder will allege
that the Governor is protecting corrup-
tion in the municipal government of Jer-
sey City.
The Mayor, when approached on the
subject, expressed considerable mortifica-
tion at the exposure of the scheme. He
refused to talk about il.

Railroad of New Jersey be set aside.
Alfred Mills, the complainant, is execu-
tor for the estate of Stephen Vail, and
that estate owns 1400 shares OF the capital
stock OF the Central. The will prohib-
Tea the sale of this stock by the heirs.
The lawyer read the charter of the Cen
tral road aud recited its history up
to the formation of the big COM
bine. He said the Port Read
ing road is but twenty miles long
and has capital of 81, 900, 900. On Feb
ruary H. 1892 the President aud Directors
of the Central road, the lawyer added,
without any authority from the stock
holders of the corporations executed a
lease to the Port Reading for 999 years.
The lease provided that the Port Reading,
which cost $2.000,000 and has q first
mortgage of 81, 100000 on it, should pay

A FACTORY NUISANCE.
The Fifty-Five Hour Law Hated by EN-

Ahe tlfty-f1Ve AOur Law Hated by EN-
ployers and Employees.
A rumor was prevalent yesterday to the
effect that several of the big factory
owners of this city contemplated shutting
down all day Saturdays in their fight
against the enforcement of the fifty-nve
hour law. 1t was intimated that in some
factories it would not pay to open for a
half day. In other cities of the State the
factory owners are combining to test the
law in the Courts.
At Lorillard's tobacco factory nearly
three thousand persons are employed.
Nearly three-Quarters of these are women,
and boys under fifteen years of age.
These. under the law, no matter how IN
terpreted, must quit work Saturdays at
noon. The firm will obey the law. The
firm pays nearly all its employees on the
piece work system, and the loss will be
with the employees. Some of the women
esrn as high as forty cents per hour The
fifty hour law means cut of 50 from their
weekly income. The employees do not
like it.

Pr esident Pearson Of the Board of City
Hall Commissioners was one of the early
callers at Mayor Wauser's Office. He is
endeavori ing to solve the problem
of the piling for the new City Hall. Pile
driver Co molly has expressed an opinion
that many of the architects are
way of in their calculations concerning
the number of piles required. Mr.. Con-
molly believes that at least 1900 will be
necessary to make the foundation secure.
Mr.. Connolly also informed President
Pearson that the proposed idea of
covering the piles with beams was an old
fashioned way of doing business, and one
from which no benefit is derived Mr.
Connolly reports that the beam coping
would be less efficient than piles. Mr.
Connolly will probably give a detailed
statement to the Board at its meeting
this week
