MONEY DUE TEE City
Delinquent Tax Payers to Be
Called to ACCount--Fi
nance Board Meeting.

Unless George W. Donaldson and John
j. Ryan, two well dressed and oficious
gentlemen who have been living we'll at
the expense of the city, do some work in
the future they will get no money.
The Finance Commissioners decided
upon this at a meeting held last night, and
as a warning to other clerks who do moth
ing but draw their salaries, -non-eoncurred
in Ryan's and Donaldson's items for
alleged services as reassesSorS during
August for SIS each, because no services
had been rendered. This viii be sad news
for both young men. The Board received
q communication from the local Fire
Underwriters, asking that the Board give
MessrS. Frank Stevens, William George
Nelson and John E. Muller q hearing
relative to the operation and maintenance
of the proposed new central fire alarm
system. The request will be granted.
Claims aggregating $3.50 for the joint outlet
sewer were ordered paid.
STREET n WATER BOARD REQUESTS.
The request of the Street and Water
Board for $1,000 for extra street cleaning.
and $12, 500 for the repair of streets and
sewers damaged by storm, brought forth
the remark that they would ask for more
if they were given a million. Both re-
quests will probably get mouldy in a
pigeon hole.
The Belleyille and High Service pay roll
for August, 1865 II. was concurred in;
also $685. SO for laborers on meters for
September.
The Board put the finishing touches on
the proposed opening of Seventeenth street.
have made awards for damages and they
were all %concurred in. There is nothing
now in the way of this improve
ment being speedily completed. The
contracts. for the construction of a
sewer in Grace street. awarded to
Eugene Lynch, was concurred in; also the
award to Thomas Wood for the Summit
avenue sewer. The Board also authorized
the improvement Of Zabriskie street, from
Central to Summit avenues.
LAIMS NoN-CONCURRED n.
A claim of eX-Assistant Water Regis
trar Joseph Farmer of $l77.76 was non
concurred in. The Jersey City Supply
were sat on in fine form. A batch of
bills from each were non-concurred in.
In each case the prices asked were
excessive. The Finance Commissioners
believe that every little saving helps. The
Water Registrars pay roll for September
was 1913 0 IS. From this S75 will lave to
be deducted, the Board refusing to pay +.

N DUE THE CITY.
President Hitler is anxious to know
how much money is outstanding and due
the city Oh lands sold as adjusted under
reports from / to rs, inclusive, The
President is anxious to have the city paid
in full by creditors or else sell their real
estate u recover the amount due. To
accomplish this a resolution was adopted
directing the City Collector to file with
the Board before December 81 a report
showing just what the delinquencies are
and on what property. A sale will then
be ordered. A similar course was pur-
sued relative to moneys due the city
from March 81, 1883, and up to the
present time, where owners of property
are in arrears for at least the prescribed
two years for assessments upon street
improvements and construction of sewers.
The object of this move is to get an idea of
how much money is owed the city by
these accounts. This ascertained, together
with a list Of the property in arrears, will
furnish material for another sale, the
proceeds of which will be devoted for the
redemption of temporary loan bonds
issued in anticipation of their collection.
