school tax for the next fiscal year. For
the present year the amount raised was
1890. 5S2. 81. The increase for next year will
be S27, 191. As. This increaseoo of amount will

lieved that the county rate for the X

will require more money for 1886 thar for

The Board granted the Jersey City

mission to extend the limits of the Gem

they have long been an eye sore. A

found it in good condition.

THE JERSEY CITY NEWS. TUESDAY,. JUNE 4, 1895.

lion OF this belief / will tell you of a
case which came to my notice while ]
was actively engaged in searching fol
Mrs. Brown. / was in a morgue in New
York City and a we'll dressed young
man entered on a mission similar to
mine. He was in search of a missing
father. of whom he gave an accurate
description to the morgue keeper. The
mcrgue records were consulted, but
there was no mention of any one OF
his fathers description. He stood as
stood, undetermined which way to turn.
While we were exchanging facts about
our respective cases, several men went
into a rear room. and presently began
to carry out to a wagon in the street
a crude, cheap coffin, 1t contained the
body CT a man-some unfortunate who
had fallen in the streets of the busy
metropolis-they said. and was about to
be taken to the New York Potter's Field
for burial without remon in an UNI
marked grave. In reply to a question
they said that in the rear room were
several other collins containing bodies
of unidentified men which were also
to go to the panper burial place. As If
stricken by a sudden thought the young
man asked to be allowed to look at the
faces of the men IN the collins. The
morgue keeper and the others protested
against his. 1t could dc him no good,
they said, for none of the bodies was
that of his father, according to the
morgue records. and then, too, It would
be a great deal of trouble to open the
collins, and much valuable time would be
consumed. The young man insisted,
however, and finally the morgue keeper
gave his consent and ordered the removal
of the covers. From one to the other the
young man went. Suddenly, as he gazed
into one of the rough boxes, he clasped
his hands to his head and his face
changed to a color which In that
damp, poorly lighted vault of the I'M
known dead made him look k death
itself. my father.' he gasped, and
then but for support which was quickly
given he would have fallen. When he
had partly recovered his composure he
exflclaimed: This is awful; but l thank
God that some unknown inspiration
moved me to insist upon seeing these
bodies. 1t has saved father from a
grave among the unknown dead In Pot
ter's Field. and saved the living members
of the fa mtIv the awful suspense which
would have ras,,ltad from long wears of
fr,,,tIass search Retter death than
