There is trouble between the Associa-

the leading associations OF young Catho-
lies on the Hill. 1t has been In existence

Quinn l. the pastor Otbet members be-

Neither Father Quinn nor members of
sour Union would talk about the matter
for public alton last night, but the results
Of careful enquiry show that the associa-

Bishop Wiggcr.
Father Quinn simply declared it was a

The young men declare they have not
been officially notified 10 disband. but
have received an intimation that they
must do SO. They pretend, at least, to be
in ignorance of the cause, II say that
until the reasons for the order are pre-

makes any statement.

Special to the Jersey ctty Mems.

TRENTON, June II, 1892 The State
Board of Assessors on Tuesday filed with
the State Comptroller the first schedule
of the taxes assessed on the miscellaneous
corporations for the year 1892. The first
schedule contains 1,471 companies, and
the tax amounts To $430,9S0. Sc. This
represents a capital stock of a499, Gas, SOP
On such corporations AZ are taxed on CAPT

The City Hall Plans.

The City Hall Commissioners are
entitled to much credit for the work
they have done to date. Their first
accomp lishment in securing e hand
some and suitable site at very moder-
ate cost has won them much praise
from persons who had not sites OF
their own to dispose of. The success
of their call for competitive plans is
another feather in their cap.
1t may fairly be said that no matter
which plan is chosen, the city will
have a beautiful and commodious
municipal building. There is not one
of the sixteen plans filed which is not
artistic and well considered. The
least meritorious is far above the aver
age of designs for public buildings.
This not only reflects great credit
upon our local architects, but also
shows the wisdom of the competitive
system. Under the stimulus afforded
by the Commissioners invitation,
probably every architect who has
competed has done his very best
work, while if he were awarded the
work without having to fight for it,
he might fulfil his obligations with a
comparatively small expenditure of
brain tissue.
While all are good, five or six of the
plans stand out from the rest as es-
pecially artistic and well adapted to
the public uses. One of these, per-
haps the one which at first sight at
tracted the most commendatory no
tice, was described in THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS yesterday. Presently we will
give others, and we shall continue to
give brief sketches until all the best
plans in the competition are covered.
We do this both in recognition OF
the great public interest of the whole
mattersyand us a tribute to the excel
lent wcrlR7that has been done by the
competitors.
