Juggling.
The Board of Aldermen held a meeting
last night at the City Hail, at which Al
derman Day, leader Of the majority,
presented a caucus resolution changing
the lines of the Second Assembly bis
trict. Except for this chance, the same
Assembly lines as were in use last year
will remain. The changes were ordered
by the Board. They were as follows:-
Second Assembly District Thirteenth pre-
elnct, shall bebounded as follows:-Begin-
ming at the intersection of Academy street
and Baldwin avenue; thence north along
centre line of Baldwin avenue to the
Pennsylvania Railroad; thence along the
centre line of said road to Summit avenue;
thence south along the centre line of Summit
avenue. to Sip avenue: thence west along the
centTe line of Sip avenue to Academy street;
thence east along the centre line OF Academy
street to the place of beginning. Fifteenth
Precinct shall be bounded as foIlows:-Begin-
ing at the intersection of Baldwin avenue and
the pennsylvania Railroad; thence north along
the centre line of Baldwin avenue to Pavonia
avenue; thence east along the centre line of
Pavonia avenue to Chestnut avenue; thence
north along the centre line Chestnut avenue to
Newark avenue; thence west along the centre
line Of Newark avenue to Oakland avenue;
thence north along the centre line of Oakland
avenue to aoboken avenue; thence west along
avenue; thence south along the centre line of
Summit avenue to the Pennsylvania Railroad
avenue; thence east along the centre line of said
railroad to the place of beginning.
The change was made because of the
facE that in the old Thirteenth precinct
of the Second district were 700 voters.
The change creates one new polling pre-
cinct.
DRIP PANS.
A communication from Superintendent
Joseph Crawford, of the PennsyIvanta
Railroad, impaired the pleasing informa-
tion that the company would place drip
pans under its elevation at street and
avenue crossings as soen as practicable.
A revised bill for carpets used in the
First Distric5 Court was presented by
Reagan & Higgins The original bill
amounted to s154: so Mayor Wanser
Mayor Wanser's veto was Read and laid
over for one week.
SHAMEFUL SCANDAL.
A little breeze was raised in the HHeet.
ing when City Clerk Scott read q hong
list of applications for MQuo9 licenses
which had besn favorably reported upon
by the Excise Committee. The nOERber
included the name of Mr. VEeeland to
Keep a saloon in the ban known as Green
vile rink. At the Lass meetkug of the
Board, license was granted to Joseph
Kaiser to operate q saloon. a5 this same
place. Alderman Kaiser moved that
Vreeland's name be stricken from the
list. while Alderman SaIinger, who is
counsel for Vresiaad, asked that the mat
ter be referred back to the Excise Com
mittee. In the discussion that followed,
the fact was brought ont that VTeetand
was the owner Of the rink, also Of the
bar and fixtures. Last yeer VreelRnd
agreed to give Kaiser ohe-Aalr of the
profits for acting rs bartender. Kaiser
built up business for the place and then
succeeded in getting the license for the
place issued in his own name. En- this
manner Vreeland was frozen cut, and al
though Alderman Kaiser says he is not
considerable interest in the case and is
instrumental IN preventing VreehRnd
from getting license or even having a
hearing before the Board.
Vreeland has placed the matter in the
hands of Counsellor Salfnger and intends
causing his removal from the rink.
A vote was taken on wha5 should be
done with Vreeland's application. and by
a vote of 2 TO Q, Aldermen Salinger and
Farley being excused from voting, it was
stricken from the list.
ANOTHER LICENSE SCANDAL.
The next matter taken up, was the ap-
plication for a license by William Wiley
adjoining St. Anthony's r. G. ChuFeh.
Aldermen Kelly and Farley. both proprie.
tors OF rum shops, are members OF the
Excise Committee, and, as a result, re-
ported favorably upon the granting of the
license. A remonstrance was read,
signed by Bishop Wigger and bhe Rev. L.
Kukowski, Faster, but this had no effect
upon the rumssers. Max SaliDger made
a talkative defense for the church, but
realized the fact from the start that it
was useless to try 70 convince the rum
sters
. A g.
presented by the worshippers of this
churchP' said Mr.. Salinger. ''Are we not
to give them protection because they
speak different language frdn oursP l
say let the people of the church be heard
Churches are mediums of good, and who
can say that Of saloons? fhe church
people own the property and I say we
should hear them. Do not let us take any
part in driving away churches by locating
saloons next to them"
Alderman Day made a garbled reply,
and Alderman Kaiser, who also runs q
gin mill, in his sweet feminine voice. de-
clared that If a PoIack had opened the
Kaiser voted with the other rnmsters and
the application was granted, because MIR.
Wiley had leased the property for three
years. One hundred and fourteen liquor
licenses. 226 trade, 81 peddlers. II porters,
66 musicians and 4 auctioneers licenses
NSAo cASO kAoASSu.
MORE SCANDAL HERE.
Alderman McEntee called for the taxi
ing from the table of the IRE escape ortli-
nance. Alderman Salinger tore the ordi-
nance to pieces. He maintained that It
had not been drawn according 10 law.
He claimed that some definite material
should be prescribed In the ordinance for
the construction OF the escapes. The 0Fdi-
nance calls for wroughs iron or other dur
able material. Alderman Connolly took
exception to the section appointing
q special committee 20 decide
what buildings fire escapes should
be erected upon. Mr.. Connolly
moved that the committee be stricken OUT
and the Building Inspector inserted. His
amendment was seconded and carried
Aldermen McEntee and Farley had
lively tilt over the ordinance, Alderman
McEntee informing Mr.. Salinger that he
had the right to offer amendments, but
not to take up the time of the Board in
quoting law. Alderman Saiinger replied
that he knew his buslne and would talk
until he felt disposed to stop.
President Allen called the gentlemen to
order. and on motion of Alderman Day,
the ordinances was referred back to the
Ordinance Committee for revision,
