referred to the Excise Committee for in
y~estigation.
The demonstrators declare that the cor
ner is not a suitable one for a saloon, and
also that its proximity to Public School
No. "a makes it particularly undesirable.
It is alleged by the demonstrators who
have already protested to some members
of the Excise Committee, that the owner
of the property where the saloon is pro-
posed to be located has created a nuisance
now by not providing proper drainage for
the house. As this is a matter for the
Board of Health to deal with the Alder
men declared that it would not influence
them in disposing of the application. 1t
Is believed that the Excise Committee
will report adversely on the application
at the next meeting of the Board.
A report was received from the Excise
Committee refusing August Reinhardt
permission to open a saloon at No. 1863
Sussex street. The applicant had been
refused a license in Hoboken, and the
members of the committee advised that
it would be well to beware of a man who
could not get a license in a city where
water is used only for washing.
h committees report was approved.

IS DENNY IN IT?
Rumors About Freeholder Re-
fzarf ueer Oafs, stars

The air is full of rumors about the
terms Of the deal which resulted in
the organization of the Board of Free
holders on Monday. 1t isAnot so GER
tain now that County Superintendent
G. P. Smith and Superintendent NJ. ].
Coyle will lose their positions. A strong
fight is to be made for them, and it is
understood that they are packed by
Leader Davis and Sheriff Heller.
Just o much truth there is in the
rumor that Dennis Mclaughlin is prin-
cipafly responsible for the election of
Director Clayton can only be surmised.
He is bondsman for Clayton and Yer
don, the two Republican Freeholders
from Hobbken, and it is said that he
proposes to once more take q hand in
the management of county affairs.
The statement is made on very good
authority that when the Republicans
were in caucus on Monday a proposition
was made that each Freebooter present
should bind himself by an oath TO abide
by the decision of the caucus. Free
holders Clayton. Yerdon and Nicely re-
fused to take the oath. Interesting de-
velopments are expected at the next
meeting.

property now held by the Mayor and
Aldermen under and by virtue of Chap
ter liz, Laws of 1886, and the supplements
thereto; and that said committee shall
have power to engage an auctioneer and
arrange for his reasonable compensation"
Section 6 of Chapter 12 of the laws of
1886, to which your resolution refers, pro-
vides that lin all cases where any land
shall be bought by the city as aforesaid
under this act, it shall be lawful for the
Common Council or legislative body of
the city, with the consent of the board
nance to sell and assign the certif-
Gates of sale, or to sell and convey such
lands, or any part thereof, by a good and
sufficient deed, to any person or persons,
and accept either money or bonds or
obligations of the city in aymen there
for, on such terms as may be agreed
upon, and with or without warranty;
provided, that if sold at private sale the
price for the land shall not be less tina
the amount due the city thereon, when
purchased"
Early in 1894, when the city had ac-
CURED by deed through the operations
of the Martin act sufficient property to
justify the holding of an absolute sale,
the Board of Aldermen, through its FL
nance Committee in conjunction with the
Board of Finance. arrange the method Of
procedure for the sales. On June Il, 1894,
a resolution was adopted by the Board
" ~ 4O4u0lllilS III DOdI0 VI
Finance to concur in authorizing the
Committee on Finance of the Board of
Aldermen in holding these sales from
time to time subject to certain conditions.
This resolution was concurred in by the
Board of Finance on Jun IA, following.
and the sales that have been held since
that time under the direction of the
Committee on Finance of your Board,
were authorized by that resolution. Since
the passage of the resolution which /
herewith return without approval, the
Board of Finance have rescinded their
resolution of June IA, 1894, and have
thereby Withdrawn from your Board the
authority to proceed with another sale.
Your resolution, therefore, is now of no
value, and your Committee on Finance.
can legally take no steps on the line di-
rected by it. Your Board must secure the
cooperation of the Board of Finance be-
fore any proceedings can be taken in
the way of arranging for a sale. | think
that it Is clear from the section of the
Martin act heretofore quoted, that the
Board of Aldermen and the Board of Fl
nance must act concurrently. would
recommend, therefore,, to your Board that
you authorize your Committee on FL
nance TO confer with the Board Of Finance
in relation to the holding of another sale
of city property before taking any further
steps in this matter.
Respectfully submitted.
T. F. WANSER, Mayor.
The veto was laid over under the rules
1T Is probable that the Aldermen win nor
oppose the Mayor, and that the Finance
Committee will concur with the Board
of Finance and agree upon an auctioneer
to conduct the sale of land to which the
city has lately acquired perfect title. The
proposed sale is to take place in January.

over THE MAYORS VETO
City Clerk o'Donnell and His
Clerks Will Get Their Extra
Pay.

Mayor Wanser's veto of the resolution
passed by the Aldermen ordering $500 paid
to City Clerk O'Donnell for extra work
on election day, and $50 each to three
clerks in his office for similar extra SER
vice, was k up by the Aldermen last
night at the suggestion of Alderman Cal
non.
II was one of the three Democratic
members of the Board of Aldermen, said
that gentleman, who voted against the
m of $500 to Edward w. Woolley
for extra services. l voted against the
Wooiiey claim because he did not do
MS duty in publishing the boundaries of
the election precincts. 1t was only after
he had been pounded by the local news
papers that he consented to have cards
bearing the boundaries printed and posted
about the city. Why did not the Mayor
veto the Woolley claim? If 1t is against
the law now to pay this $500, it was Illegal

John Linshuger and Alexander Henning,
boys of eleven years each, the first living
at Fourth and Madison STREETS. Hoboken,
ard the latter at No. 21S Park avenue,
Hoboken, thought they would stay out
all night last night. They roamed the
streets until about three O'Clock this
morning when Policeman Levuone saw
them looking anxiously at a large can Of
milk IN front of a grocery store on Sec
ond street. The policeman did not wait
to see if the boys would dip into the milk
but took them to the police station. They
ough held them while their parents were
notified.

Mayor Wanser's veto of the ordinance

cense fee of 5000 on transient dealers in

yards, was sustained last night.

NO MONOPOLY FOR HOME LABOR

Alderman Moran is satisfied now that
the city cannot consistently compel con-
tractors to engage only resident labor to
do public work. City Attorney Weart,
who had been asked for an opinion on the
subject, communicated with the Alder
men last night. After stating that he had
duly received the request of the Honor
able body" for advice concerning the le-
gality> of inserting in contracts a clause
requiring the employment Of home labor,
he wrote:-"I think that contracts so
drawn would defeat the purpose of bid
ding for public work"
The communication was ordered filed
without comment.
