Agitating the Thirteenth Street
Improvement to Hoboken
Avenue.

nave their street opened to Hoboken
avenue by means of an expensive via
duct, appeared before the Street and
Water Board last night and renewed
their request for the original opening of
the street, which it appears has been
mislaid, and also for the maps and draw
ings prepared for use in its opening.
Mr. CcraoTan was ~inclined to c%riticise
6a Corporation Counsel Edwards. 5a1
l.ee Siieai and sQater Commissioners

improvement.
II was discovered last week that the
old petition asked only for the opening
of the street, not it's improvement.
appears to V been the cause of all
the delay. The street has been opened,
and it is due practically to the unaided
efforts OF Mr.. Edwards. Mr.. Edwards
has now consented to prepare a new APP
plication for the improvement of the
street, free of charge, and also to fur
nish the with the names and
addresses of every property owner on
the street, whose consent to the I'M
p~rovelnent will have to be obtained be-
fore the work can proceed. Because
this has not been done Mr.. Corcoran
was a little excited. Clerk Bouton in
formed him, however, that he knew Mr..
Edwards was now at work preparing
the necessary papers, and application Tor
the improvement. The opening of the
street is a needed Improvement, but
there is considerable doubt III the minds
of the city officials as to whether the
property owners will consent to bear the
burden of an Improvement which is apt
to cost $125, 600. Mr.. Casey is anxious for
the work to go through. He regards 1t
as the only salvation of all that terri
He showed how helpless the section is
in case of fire, owing to fire engines
from all parts of the city being likely
to be stopped at the Erie Railroad cross
inOs Hn cited the fire in the umbrella
factory as an instance in which the
flames completely Quilted the building
while fire engines were detained at the
Erie Railroad crossing for fourteen min
utes.
Mr.. Casey also complained of the sew
erage system up there. He pointed in
stances where water, to the depth of
three and four feet, stands and stag
mates. President Macarthur informed
him, in return, that the board had I'M
der consideration a sewerage plan which
would remedy that condition of affairs,
drain all of that territory north of the
tracks and make the now sWampy land
suitable and desirable for factory pur-
poses. Mr.. Casey called the boards
attention to the deplorable condition of
the upper end of Grove street and to
the absence of sidewalks there. Presi-
dent Macarthur promised to have this
matter looked into, and Messrs. Cor
coran and Casey departed, feeling that
they had accomplished a great deal.
The opening of Neptune avenue is
an important improvement which is
likely to go through. The avenue is to
feet south of Ocean avenue. So far
only one objection has been mada
against the work, and that from a gem
tleman who imagines he has been as
sessed too much for benefits received.
