Passage of the Annual Ap-
precipitation and Salary
OrdinanCeS-Veto
Ahead.

Eayonne City Council last night did its
part toward raising the financial blockade
in that municipality by passing the new
appropriation ahd salary ordinances.
There was no opposition to the former,
and but one vote against the salary
ordinance. Two months heve elapsed
since appropriations were practically ex-
hausted, owing to the beginning of new
fiscal year. There is great relief over tn e
work done at the adjourned meeting, and
much speculation about the course Mayor
Farr will take.
The Mayor added five names to two
sent In many months ago for patrolmen,
aud to the surprise OF most persons the
Council confirmed the original two men
nominated, Patrick J. Tierney and Chris
topher Melands.

The electric light ordinance was not
called up for passage, but the Bayonne
Gaslight and Fuel Company's ordinance
was amended and laid over. Their offer
is $40 per lamp every night in the year, or
50 less thau is now paid. 70 private con-
sumers of 5000 cubic feet or less the price
Is 30 cents per thousand.
The total amount of the budget is S162,
1862. SO. Eight days before, the Council had
agreed upon nearly $4,000 more. The now
budget is over S18, 900 less than year ago

School house, was stricken out. Other
wise the Board of Education received all
it wanted, and will also have about $2o,-
600 more from the State. No appropria-
tion for sewer and tax was male, nor for
the support of the poor. The fire depart
ment was cut down $12, 500 from the orig
