OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS.
From his honor the Mayor:
JERSEY CITY, April 81, 1892.
To the Board of Street and Water Com
missioners:
GENTLEMEN-The resolutions passed by
you Board at the, meeting held April 4th
instant, declaring a certain strip Of land
through which the W known as the
Brown Place sewer, has been constructed
to be a public street, IL herewith returned
without signature. The moment a street
is opened u demand is made for the ex-
penditure OF money upon it, whether the
same is of any value to the public or to
the immediate owners of AUDITING prop
erty. In this case there is no need or call
for a public street covering the strip OF
land in question, nor would 1t be OF any
value to the city or the Immediate neigh
borhood, and / think the action was
hasty. II the time shall come when a
street is needed over that strip of land 1t
can then be opened as a public street. but
such u need does not exist at this time.
Very respectfully,
sss OREsTEs CLEVELAND.
Received and laid over for one week I'M
der the rules.
From the Honorable the Board of Alder
men: t@lag
Whereas, The elevated road of the
Pennsylvania r. r. Co. where it crosses
the public streets Is in stormy weather
| and after storm a source Of great annoy
ance to persons Obliged to pass under it
because of the consiant drip OF u mixture
of dirt and grease which damages wear
ing apparel; and
Whereas, No protection from such an
noyance exists, therefore
. Resolved, That the Board of Street and
Water Com m~issioners be requested TO ex-
ercise their authority and pass an ordtn-
ance to compel under penalty the placing
of pans or other suitable means to pre-.
| vent the nuisance above mentioned.
