OFFICERS COMMUNICATIONS,
The following communicat tion from the
Corporation Attorney was prese nted:
JERSEY CITY, May 10, 1892
Hon. Board OF Aldermen of Jersey City:
GENTLEMEN-Actinpu upon your request,
/ appeared before His Honor, George T..
Werts, Justice OF the Supreme Court on
Saturday last, and moved for mod ifica-
tion of the stay created by the writ of
certiorari, granted at the suit Of the City
Publishing Company and Others to review
the action OF your honorable body in
designating the New Jersey Staats Zei-
tung as the paper to publish the notices
required for applications for liquor
licenses under Chapter rs of the Laws of
1892. The application was adjourned on
the motion of the other side. / under
stand that the prosecutors intend to op-
pose the moditic ition of the order,
have, however. within the past few hours
received communication from. tho
Evening Journal aud the Jersey City
News looking toward proper adjust
ment OF the whole matter. These letters l
have attached to this communication and
forward to you. l advise that the resolu-
ton therein suggested be adopted and
that one of these papers be appointed.
The result will be that the publications
will be made 10 two papers. the Stats
Zeitung and either the journal or the
News. Your Board will then De able to
grant licenses In due form, and that paper
only which shall be finally adjudged to
have been designated properly will be
paid therefor. This seems to me
the difficulty. because, even If the
publication be made in the Stats Zei-
tung, and 1t should afterwards be de-
clared illegal, there would he nice Ques-
tion as to whether the licenses were good.
This Is a risk which you ought not to run
VI course, bni5 ACLlOn VIII not prejudice
in any way your former designation, un-
less the former shall turn out to be IL.

Yours respectfully
r. s. HDDSPETH,

Accompanying said communication
were propositions from the Evening Jour
nal and News agreeing that IL either is
designated to make the publications re-
Quired, neither will expect or demand

legal.
The papers were laid upon the table.
