day nights meeting of that council to
explain his recent participation IN the
Catholic parade.
The Mayor said he considered the call
to attend the cornerstone laying as one
to perform a public duty, and could not
see now it was a violation of the obli-
cations he took as a Junior a quarter of
a century ago, and had fought for be-
fore some of his accusers were born.
He could see, however, that the parade
was wrong. and declared had he known
what 1t was to ave been he would not

Following. this. speeches were made by
many of those present, most condemn

sufficient.

SPECTATORS PLEASED.
Result Of the Conference Over
City improvements Boom
in the Building Trade.

The decision of the city officials yes
terday to hurry along the opening of
Mercer street and the construction of a
viaduct, the opening OF and construction
of a viaduct in Thirteenth street, and
the filling in of Mill Creek caused gem
eral rejoicing among property owners
last night.
Holders of realty north of the Erie
Railway tracks win doubtless be the first
to take advantage of the action of the
city officials.
There are ten gentlemen who will, in
the spring, invest in the neighborhood
of $500, 900 in buildings.
THIRTEENTH STREET OPENING.
The opening of Thirteenth street alone
it is estimated will increase the city's
ratables at least $500. 900. The people of
that section have said that they would
not object to increased valuations if the
city would only give them something IN
return. The opening of Thirteenth street
was most desired. Several sewers which
were badly needed have been built in
the section. and many practically inn
passable streets have been made excel
lent thoroughfares. All told. that par
ticular section has been well treated and
the people appreciate it.
MORE FLAT HOUSE PROPERTY.
Dennis Mclaughlin is investing $4,000
in fiat houses on Jersey avenue, and an
other gentleman is investing $4,000 In
the same kind of property.
Real estate men declare that the Pa
vonia section will. in the course of a
year or two. be the great fat district.
Several new factories have sprung up
north of the tracks. and great induce
mentS are offered to fiat builders.
MERCER STREET OPENING.
The benefits to be derived from the
opening of Mercer street are evident to
all. 1t Will be the only decent thorough
fare to the Hill, and it Is the Intention
of Mayor Wanser to prevent car tracks
from being lad in the street.
1t is expected by the city officials that
the street from Brunswick street to the
head of Church street will. within two
years, be built up solidly with dwellings
and apartment houses. The officials base
their belief of this building boom on the
filling In of that filthy hole, Mill Creek.
DRAINING MILL CREEK:
The pipe sewers to be laid in the bed
of the creek are to connect with the
double pipe sewers of Grand street. In
this way 1t is hoped to 50 thoroughly
drain that the swamps will be dried
out in a short time
The owners of the low land are hold
ing out for sales to factory owners. 1t
is believed the New Jersey Junction
Railroad will bay in some of the a
near its trestle for freight house pur-
poses. Real estate men expect a big
boom IN the Spring.
