The Jersey City Board OF Finance hold q
meeting yesterday to act upon Mayor Wan
ser's vetoes OF certain items In the tax budget
for next year. When the budget as prepared
by the Board Of Finance was submitted to the
Mayor for his action he vetoed several items
OF the appropriations and suggested that re-
ductions be made. Tho Board OF Finance
consists OF ave members. and four votes are
required to override the Mayors veto. There
are three Democrats and two Republicans In
the Board. When vote was taken on each
veto the Mayor was sustained by strict party
vote. The suggestions OF tho Mayor to mako
reduced appropriations in the place OF tho ve-
toed items were not adopted. and there is
likely to be very serious difficulty unless some
compromise is effected.
The Mayor considered the appropriation for
street lighting. sS4.o29.9e. too high. and
vetoed It. He suggested in his veto that the
amount be fixed at $4,000. Tho veto was
sustained. but the suggestion was not adopted.
consequently there Is no appropriation for
street lighting. and tho streets will be in dark
