DOLLAR-FIFTY REFORM.
The 81. Paul's Sewer Mayors Nest
Exposed to Ridicule.

Mayor Wanser's fourth yawp made it's
appearance yesterday. Up to date the
series of ticklers has cost the city $135 Al,
$l04.16 of which is the Mayors compen-
saiion for the exercise of the brain power
he possesses. and $31.25 to Spencer Weart,
his legal adviser, who is sailing under the
guise of Private Secretary.
One of the latest discoveries was of al
legged outrageous work In the construc-
tion of the st. Pauis avenue sewer by
Michael Curley The sewer was to be
supplied with 6-inch inlets. His Honor
left out. He thereupon declined to sign
q warrant for 81, 900 for Curley.
The true condition of affairs. as found
to exist in the construction of the sewer,
is that the section In which the inlets are
omitted is In the swampy portion of ST.
Paul's avenue, where houses will not be
built in years, and where inlets are un-
necessary and only tend to decrease the
strength of the sewer.
THIS is IMMENSE.
Inlets cost eight cents each. The cost
between placing the 6 inch pipes In these
tar to cover this space is four cents.
30 that Curley neglected to do four cents
worth of specified work in thirty in
stances, or $l.20 altogether. For this
reason. His Honor refuses to sign the
$1,000 warrant. and endeavors to make a
civilized and educated public believe that
his motive Is reform.
Surveyor Vaan Keuren, in speaking of
the work on the st. Paul's avenue sewer.
said:-"That sewer is one of the best
pieces of work ever done In this
city. Great care has been exer-
cised in its construction and
say that the work Is well DONE That
section of the sewer where the inlets are
omitted is in a swamp, where houses will
never be built, but where factory might
be started. If this was done
six Inch inlet would be
useless A larger inlet would be neces-
sary and it is better for sewer to cut an
outlet than to enlarge one already made.
Judgment in leaning out these
inlets, because in swampy places
they would have tendency TO weaken
the sewer in short time. Curley in
leaving out the iniets saved not more
than g."
MERE CRANK CRITICISM.
Clerk Bouton, in speaking on the same
subject. said:-"Since have been clerk
of this Board l have noticed that the
Commissioners never confirm an assess
ment or accept a piece of work un,ess it is
satisfactory to every one II complaints
are made on good grounds they are at
tended to. But when chronic cranks,
who go about looking for things 70 find
fault with, bob up, the COMMISSIONS RS
toss such objections into the air.
If Mayor Wanser IL going to raise hue
aud cry over every complaint he has made
to him he viii be in hot water, forever"
Mayor Wanser also finus fault with In
spectOr Moran on this work ia st. PauPs

avenue. He will not pay Moran
because he was not appointed
by resolution of the Board.
Au Inspector was appointed bv rejolu-
tion for this WORK, but he resigned, and
Moran was directed by the proper COM
mittee to oversee the work.
The same rule applies TO James Lillis
inspector of the improvement of Pavonia
avenue. Lillis WAS appointed by resolu-
of the Board, and wnen it is said
that he was not. it is wilful mlsrepre-
sentation.. Lillis was appointed. on this
Messrs. Somers, Dugan and Van
KeureD. When the present Board
came into existence q resolution was
adopted to the effect that all employees of
the old Board should continue in the en-
ploy of the new Board. Lillis was regu-
larly and properly appointed and not by
a committee as the Mayor states.
FAULT FINDING DISCOUNTED.
Again His Honor objects to the work
on jackson avenue. Ten DAYS ago Chief
Engineer Ruggles issued orders to Con-
tractor Charles O'Neill, to locate and
bring to grade two manholes, which
had been paved over. jackson
provement, had to be filled in
and In this manner two manholes. which
have been covered up for years were lost
sight OF. O'Neill has located them, and
has men at work raising them to grade
The fourth and last yaup was an order,
which will not be countenanced, to call u
halt on all street improvements.
The fund created by one half of the
liquor license money is running ac-
count. The Street and Water
Commissioners are we'll aware of
the fact that it is unlawful for them
to exceed an appropriation made for
specific purpose by the Finance Board,
and they also know that under the law
they can continue three years longer
to use the liquor license money for the
improvement of streets Under the new
charter six years were designated in
which one-half of the liquor license
money should be used in repairing
streets. Thus it is made running ac-
count and cannot be overdrawn. Funds
are pouring in continually. Licenses
as a rule are taken out July l, aud S125 of
every $3.50 received. Is placed by
the Comptroller to the credit Of this
account. but persons keep taking
out licenses all during the year, and SO
the fund. not appropriation, is kept open
and running,

HOBoKEN TAX COMMISSIONERS.
They Discuss School, Fire. Street and
Police Expenses.

They Discuss School, Fire. Street and
Police Expenses.
The Hoboken Tax Board held long
meeting last night and listened to the
School Trustees who appeared in a body
to ask for the appropriations mentioned
in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS of yes
terday They showed the Board
that the $1,000 asked for to finish No. 6
school was absolutely necessary. That
school. the largest in the city. the trustees
said is in horrible condition. The roof
leaks, there are no storm doors, the putty
is falling from the windows and tine iron
raiisng is in dangerous condition.
Tax Commissioner Pagan, who put up
the railing, said he would reconstruct 1t
without cost and advised that the con-
tractor be forced to repair the roof. The
Board looked with favor upon the re-
quest for 81 500 to introduce steam heating
into School No 2, as 1t will save 40 tons
OF coal each year and give more class
room. The suggestion that the lot ad-
Joining No. School be purchased was
regarded favoraDly until Commissioner
Fagan suggested that the ground be
leased. and this will probably be done.
The $1,000 asked for general repairs will
probably be cut down. The sum asked to
raise the salaries of old teachers was re-
garded obviously, and will probably not
be granted. Assessor Dollard asked for
$500 to buy safe which will prob.
ably be allowed. Commissioner Pagan
suggested that no contingent fund be pro-
vided, but all probable expenses be met
with special appropriations and thus pre-
vent waste. Commissioner Ellis spoke
against this suggestion and said If
adopted it would probably force the city
to borrow money for unforeseen expenses.
Commissioners Kelly and Fenton ap-
peared to ask for Sl4, 900 for a joint sewer
through. Jefferson street and Park ave-
nue.. The Tax Commissioners admitted
that the present box system was bad, and
should be changed.
The Street Commissioners asked for
S17, ,707 for repairs TO streets. The Council
requested S26, ,636 for street lighting and
SC, 500 for elections, all of which requests
will probably be allowed.
The police asked for $94, 495, an increase
Of 50, ,000. which was also regarded favor
ably by the Board. Commissioner Wig
gins suggested approrriating $500 to buy
Soldiers Plot" in the Hoboken Gene
terry. Pagan opposed this. saying it
would create bad precedent.

The feeling regarding Sunday business
in Hoboken is unsettled. Chief of Police
Donovan has not announced that he will
order the police to rigidly enforce the
blue laws. and it is not believed that
butchers and bakers and horse car con-
ductors will be interfered with.
The same drastic suspension of liuuor
