OMARA WON'T ACCEPT
He Finds Public Opinion
a Little Too Strong for
Him at Present.

Director Bruggemann has been saved
the performances of the public duty
OF vetoing the appointment of that scoun-
drel Michael j. O'Mara to the position Of
Second Assistant Engineer of the County
Boulevard. O'Mara has one redeemlng
quality about hin:. He reads THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS. and even If the references to
himself in the paper are not of the most
complimentary character. they are en-
tirely truthful aud O'Mara recognizes
them as such. He has read during the
past week what THE NEWS has mad TO
say concerning his appointment Co q
responsible position In the employ of the
county, and he evidently believes all he
read for he has concluded not to accept
the appointment. The NEWS called Mike
a ~scoundrel, III OMara is TOO
shrewed a fellow not to know
the truth when presented to him; aud
not TO know that his appointment as
second engineer was extremely distaseful
to the public. When Michael j. learned
chat there was a general protest against
the appoiutlnentot q notorious s%conndrel,
\ woman insulter, q black leg. au organ
izer Of gangs Of election .repeatsrs.
Michael j. Withdrew from the
contest. and he wrote Il letter
10 that effect. The letter Is in
the pocket of Freenolder Heller aud
Will be read at the meeting of the Board
OF Freeholders tonight. 1t is a genuine
Michael j. O'Mara letter, and III brief
states that the services OF the aforesaid
Michael j. O'Mara are worth more to the
public than the pittance of So per diem.
Therefore he declines to accept the APP
pointinent Of Second Assistant to Chief
Engineer Harrison.

There has been some hitch regarding
the re-appo1ntment CT Deputy War .
John Stewart, of the Aims House, and 1t
is by no means certain that he will be
retained IN his position. Stewart has
been a long time in his office aud has
given satisfaction. His case may be
settled tonight.
1t is now believed that the position of
Superintendent o the County Boulevard,
which was to have been created for the
sensht OF ex- Assemblym James
III nlltV hnn fnilnN FL on,.~ a..
a while. and that it will
not be created for sever
al months. When the subject
of making Tumllty superintendent OF
the Boulevard was discussed in caucus
it caused hot and strong language,
While all of the F%reeholders, nearl, are
in favor OF creating his new Office but
very few wanted to see Mr.. Tumuity have
it. For this reason action on it has been
deferred.
