OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS.
From His Honor the Mayor:
JERSEY CITY, Nov. Is. 1893.
To the Honorable Board of Street and
Water Commissioners:
Gentlemen Il herewith return without my
approval the two resolutions passed by your
Board directing the relaying with Belgian
blocks by John Nolan, under his contract, of
the following streets: Jersey avenue, from
Ninth to Fifteenth streets; Thirteenth street,
from Jersey avenue to Grove street; Twelfth
street, from Henderson to Grove streets, and
(2) directing the repaving with second hand
granite blocks by Henry Cunningham, under
his contract, of the following streets: First
street, from Grove to Brunswick streets;
Second street, from Grove street to Jersey
avenue; Fifteenth street, from Grove to Pro-
Tost streets. With the work heretofore un-
dertaken your Board will be about 3d. 900
short, but as the contracts provide for the stop
page OF work at any time the appropriation is
exhausted. ! have permitted all unfinished
contracts to be undertaken, l am of the
opinion that the improvement of Ocean ave-
nue. is more urgently called for and required
than any other street in the city, it is a great
thoroughfare and has been neglected. l
shall refuse to sign any resolution for other
streets not under contract until Ocean avenue
is provided for, as | have promised the peo-
pie in that section of the city that enough
money could be withheld to pay for that i'm
provement, and l trust that you will take
steps TO have it go on as soon as possible by
a eadvertisemeu in a proper manner. The
provisions of the Lewis Act prevent my
signing these resolutions.
Very respectfully,
PETER F. WANsER.
Mayor.
Received and laid over under the rule.
