From the same officer:
JERSEY CITY, Nov. 2, 1892.
The Honorable, the Board Of Street and
Water Commissioners:
GENTLEMEN return without my ap-
proval the resolution OF your Board read
ing, Resolved, That Thos. Reilly, John
Kilmurray and William Jordan be and
are hereby appointed as laborers on pipe"
passed October "a, 1892.
Your Board recently made up a list of
employees on pipes, which list would pro-
vide an ample working force to the pipe
work both when the work was active and
dull. Your Board passed a resolution on
August 80, 1892, putting on the pay roll
hfty-1Ve la0orerS to lay and repair water
pipe, such laborers to be employed from
Time to time aud be paid for services
actually rendered.
AS | am not aware that any of the
aforesaid ffty-five laborers have refused
their appointments. or that your Board
has by resolution discharged any of the
said hfty-hve laboreTs, and as that num-
Der is an ample force to do the work, l
fail to find any reason for increasing the
number by adding Messr5. Reilly, Kill
murray and Jordan to the list.
A list of tifty-fve men appointed by
resolution is a great improvement on the
eighty men previously put to work by
committee, but the list of 1fty-fTe should
not be increased except for the best in
terests of the water department.. So far as
] know, no such question is presented by
the resolution herewith returned.
PETER F. wANsER,
Mayor.
Received and laid over for one week
under the rules.
