MoNsIGNoR sETON's ADDRESS

The members of the Board of Trade
met last night, but not in the usual
place, nor to talk about water. They
gathered around a long table IN the
Hotel Washington, and didn't even men
ton the subject. Other kinds of liquids
absorbed their attention. The object OF
the special meeting was to eat the an
nual dinner, and that which took place
last night was the most successful ever
held. There was such large attendance
that the dining hall was not big enough
to hold all the guests, and George Linn
had a smaller table laid in one OF the
side rooms, where the fun was fast and
furious.
The big dsning-room was tastefully
decorated with armor and bunting.
Every nations flag hung on the walls,
and there were others which puzzled
even Dr. L. J. Gordon, who was re-
sponsible for the innovation in decora-
ton, to determine to what country they
belonged. Anyhow, they looked well and
made the room extremely attractive
Soon after seven O'Clock President John
J. Voorhees, led the way into the room
and took his seat, surrounded by these
guests:-R.ght Rev. Monsignor Robert
Seton, DID, Rev. DR.. Henry Baker,
Congressman-elect Mahlon Pitney, Hon.

OF camel. President voorhees,, in his
opening speech, told the guests what
the board mas accomplished. 1t, he said,
js q small BODY of men, but is has ac-
compiished much and prevented great
deal more. As board it has never ad-
vocated anything contrary to the inter-
ests of the city. It. however, should
be larger, and he (Afr. Voorhees, could
rot see why citizens could not meet and
frame laws and not leave It to the poll

evening. I have fallen into the clutches

you this evening I understand that it
was the intention Of the committee hav-
ing in charge your annual dinner to
call upon me to says something in be
half of "Our Municipality" My in
ability to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity Of addressing so many of our
adds to my regret. | wish. however, to
call the attention of your board to the
fact that on Monday night last bill
was introduced in the Legislature, sim
liar to the one that so nearly became a
law during the lass session, to make
Harrison and Kearny part of the County
possible, anticipated its Introduction and
propose to do all in my power to pre-
vent its passage. My intention in referring
to it in this letter is principally to urge
upon you unceassng vigilance and CO.
operation with the local authorities in
order to prevent tits enactment. There
is no necessity for my enlareing upon
the fact that it is a measure calcuIat cd
to work the greatest harm to our muni-
cipality. I am sure that you will agree
with me IN the statement that our city
has made rapid progress in municipal
betterment during the past year. Dur
ing that period we have rebuilt paved
streets at cost of over $4,000, cover
ing an area Of about seven miles, On
some of the streets so improved we have
laid asphalt in such q manner as te
ultimately complete a circuit of asphalt
streets extending from the nearest prac-
ticable point to the Pavonia ferries to
