WHITEoAPs IN HoBoKEN.
Otken's Newspaper Stand Annoys
the Neigh bors. 4

the Neigh bors.
The residents of Garden street, be-
tween First and Second streets, are all
complaining against the erection of a
large news stand in the front yard of
No. Ill. They claim it spoils the looks
of the street. and if it is allowed to re-
main will injure the value of surround
ing property. There are no business
stores upon the block whatever other
h those on the corners. and the resi-
dents say the coming of the stand is the
first sign that the old resident block will
soon be a thing of the past and that
every other house within a year or two
will be a store or a factory.
Yesterday afternoon several residents
called at Police Headquarters and inquir-
ed if it was not possible to compel the
owner of the obnoxious structure to take
it away. The police said they would
investigate the case and see what could
be done.
A Jersey City News reporter called
at No. III Garden street and learned that
the stand is owned by John D. Otken, a
candy \ news dealer, who moved into
the dwelling house last Friday from Park
avenue and First streets. The stand Is
yard twenty by six feet.
Mr.; Otken says he got permission from
the landlord to place the stand there,
and there it's going to stay until he gets
good and ready to remove it.
I'm going to make it a little smaller"
he continued. and it will not look quite
so bad. l am sorry that the neighbors
don't like it, and l expect they'll all boy
colt me- but l can't help it."
Mrs. Joseph Bennitt of No. 113, and
Mrs. Fred Steigleiter of No. 100. Mr..
Otken's e door n~eighbors, are furi-
ous. Mrs. Bennitt says it obstructs her
view, and the children hang upon. her
fence while n of their playmates buys
some candy, and she does not see why
it SHOULD not be removed.
A petition is being circulated by Nrs-
Bennitt to present to the Council re-
ouesting that body to have the stand re-
moved upon the grounds, that it is 9
common nuisance. Mr.. Otken says they
will lave a hard time proving 1t as
such, as it is only a news stand

siWell, it IS impossible for me to say
