TIMBER FOR
THE NEW BOARD
Popular Suggestions for
Successors to the Street
and Water Board
RasCa1s.
ALL AGREE ON SOME NAMES.
John P. Feeney, Joseph A. Dear,
Richard c. Washburne and
Henry Lembeck Have the
Strongest Backing.
Ring out the false,
Ring iu the true.

Ring in tho true
Sings the poet, and this is precisely what
the people of Jersey City think Governor
George T. Werts will do with the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners. He will
ring out the discredited and dishonored five
and give Mayor Wanser an opportunity to
ring in five honorable citizens who will re-
Ieve this city from thralldom und er which
she has served for years.
Having thoroughly made up their minds
that this will be done, the good people are
now guessing as to the successors of the
'sDishonored Five" There is so much good
material to choose from; so many honor
able citizens from whom to select board
that the guessing is becoming decidedly
interesting
The reporters of this paper have industri-
ousiy collected the guesses and suggestions of
many of the best known people and these
are presented below
THE 'sNEws'" BOARD.
Before, however, these many names are
given, THE NEWS desires to give its opinion
of an ideal board Here it is
John M. Jones,
John 2. Feeney,
R, G.. Washburne,
Joseph A. Dear,
Henry Lembeck
OF these names Mr. Jones is the President
of the Board of Education and in that ca
pacity has shown the stuff he is made Of
He is large property owner and possesses
every qualification for such an appointment.
1t is almost unnecessary to speak of the sec
ond name. Mr.. Feeney as President Of
the Police Board is enc of the very
few charter officials who has come
L, L.
President of the Hudson County Bank man
ages large lumber and brick business, and
has spotless and very enviable reputation
as business man and citizen. The fourth
name, that Of Mr.. Dear, is also familiar to
our readers Mr. Dear has served in the
capacity of President OF the Board of Trade
and is a competent and shrewd business
man, and would make an excellent official.
The last of the quintette, Mr.. Lenbeck, is
known throughout the county as a prosper
GUS, enterprising man. Mr.. Lembeck has
done more than any other property owner in
the Sixth district to promote the improve
ments of that place, and he is thoroughly
competent to take such position.
ANOTHER LIST.
Should some of these gentlemen be unable
to serve here is another list suggested by a
well known lawyer Of the Weldon build
ing
John P Feeney,
Joseph A. Dear,
William George Nelson,
George F. Perkins,
George w. Young
Mr.. Nelson is an ex-member of the Board
of Freeholders, on which board he served
three years to the credit of himself and the
profit of the people of the county. Mr.. Per-
kins, the second name suggested, is large
paper manufacturer in New York and re-
sides on Bergen avenue. He ran against
Mayor Cleveland but was beaten. He is
courteous sagacious and upright gentleman,
who would be an honor to the board. Mr..
George W. Young is type of an enthusi-
astic, earnest, straightforward democrat.
He has been identified with the Title Guar
antee and Trust Company, and is thoroughly
aas fat with financial questions.
Another board suggested is:-
Robert McAndrew,
Joseph A. Dear,
E. r. Vessels,
A. j. Corcoran,
Otto Grouse.
Robert MeAndrew is a real estate agent,
and has control of the George r. Mackenzie
estate.
E. h. Vessels lie manufacturer.
A. j. Corcoran is a wind mill manufactur-
er, and Otto Grouse lawyer of repute.
A DANDY BOARD.
That which would delight other citizens
would be-
DIR. I. M. Quimby,
James Flemmng,
S. L. Harvey,
Elijah Cowles,
Henry Lembeck.
DR.. Quimby is well known reform agita-
tor of the eighteenth century. Mr.. Flem-
ming is a lawyer and reformer of note.
Elijah Cowles is another reform agitator who
has been on the boards for years,
THIS is A GOOD ONE.
Again here is another suggestion:-
R. G. Washburne,
A. J. Corcoran,
J. P. Landrine,
F. Vanderbeek,
G J. Cronin
The former two have been mentioned Mr.
Landrine is a hardware merchant on Bergen
avenue, an enthusiastic republican and
hardworking man. Mr.. Vanderbeek is a
lumber merchant and an out-and-out repub-
hcan. Mr.. Cronin served as Sheriff for
term and now conducts a large real estate
business He is an honest, fearless democrat
FROM THE CELERY DISTRICT.
Here is a suggestion from Greenvillian
which clearly proves that there's nothing
slow about the celery districters. This one
should come from his district. This is what
he wants:
Michael Schultz, Jr.,
Stephen L. Harvey,
James S. Erwin,
James E. Love,
John P. Feeney.
Mr.. Schultz is a member of the Tax Ap-
peal Board. He is prosperous merchant in
the gold business. He formerly was alder
man from the Sixth, where he is much re-
spected. Mr. Erwin is lawyer, and repre-
sented the district in the Legislature. He is
a capable, honorable man, and would do his
duty. Mr. Love is a partner of Mayor
Wanser in the real estate business, and was
formerly City Collector. He was appointed
a member of the Tax Board. Mr.. Harvey
is a hardworking business man, and Free
Library trustee. His appointment should
please Greenville.
BUSINESS MANS BOARD.
Such a Street and Water Board as this
would perhaps administer the affairs of that
department to the entire satisfaction of the
community. Aleck Mackenzie, John j.
