The City Clerk laid before the Board
the following communicate from His
Honor the Mayor, filed In the City Clerks
office, Mays 9, 1898. and the same was read,
received, and ordered to be entered in
the minutes:
MAYORS OFFICE, CITY HALL,
JERSEY CITY. N. r., May 9, 1898.
To the Honorable Board of Aldermen:
GENTLEMEN-I herewith return without
nv approval the resolution passed BY
your Board at its meeting held April 25.
1898. designating the Jersey City Demo
crat. under the provisions OF Chapter 70
of the Laws of 1892, as the newspaper to
publish the names. residence n place OF
business contained in all applications or
petitions for licenses 10 sell spirltuOuS,
vinous, malt n brewed liquors. While
the act does not in express terms provide
that such advertisement shall be made in
one of the official newspapers of the city,
I think that is the fair intent of the law.
The Jersey City Democrat Is not an OIL
cial paper, and persons interested In as
certaining the Information thus pub
lished would naturally look for IL in one
Of our official newspapers. The regular
advertising rates for the work as pro-
yidedi n the Act of 1892, with the proof
1000 in all. Last year n Of
our official newspapers performed this
work for the sun of about $3.50. /
ave communicated with the publishers
of the Evening Journal and the Jersey
City News, the regular official daily
papers of the city. both Of them are
willing to perform the work at last
about 81, 300. which / advise you to make.
It may possibly be that your Board by
inserting the words "at regular advertis-
ing rates. intended to allow only the
rates of last year n not those fixed by
the Statute OF 1892. but The language is at
best capable Of either construction.
Narrower, | am in doubt as to whether
the jersey City Democrat is a daily
newspaper within tho legal definition of
that term in this State as il has not yet
been published for q period OF one year.
Very respectfully.
PETER +. WANSER.
Mayor.
