IT rs INADEQUATE
That is President Eender's Opinion
of the Eoboken Fire D~eparsnaenf.

The regular meeting of the Hoboken
Fire Commissioners was held last night.
Outside of the trying of several tiremen
for disobey,ng rules of the department
only business of a routine nature was
transacted. Fireman Edward Oueriple,
one of the men cited to appear for trial,
was absent owing to a sprained ankle he
received at Mondays fire. The case of
Edward Kinlon. who was charged by
Captain McGrath, of Engine Company
No. 8 with being drunk on January IS,
and for which he was suspended for ten
days by Chief Apologize. was then tried.
Kinlon said that he was being perse-
cuted. He also said that when he was sus-
pended, he went Immediately to Commits
sioner Lally and asked him if he thought
he was intoxicated and that the Commits
sioner said that he did not.
Several of Kinlon's companions testi-
fled thatsK Mon was sober on that day. 1t
did no good, however, as the majority of
the Board decided that Kinlon was drunk
and he was fined eleven days pay. He
was also reprimanded by President Ben
der. who told him that as this was the
third time he had been before the Board
for drunkenness, the next time would
mean his dismissal for good.
The payroll, amounting to 1921. go, and a
number of claims were passed.
After the meeting President Bender told
the reporter that if Mayor Pagan wanted
to re~organize the department the Com
missioners were only too willing to help
him.

of them; the department is inadequate"

TRENTON, Feb. rs, 1896. Senator yoor-
hees. James s. Allen. counsel of the Erie
Railroad. and William H. Corbin. held a
conference yesterday afternoon in the
office of the State Board Of Assessors.
Mr.. Allen wanted to see if something
could not be lone to get through his bills
which sanction the lease of the Green
wood Lake Road to the Erie and the re-
organization of the Erie. But Mr..
VOORHEES, declared most emphatically that
the bills could not pass unless the Erie
made some agreement to abolish grade
crossings in Jersey City.
All the pressure which Carrot "A. Ho-
Joseph Colt could bring to bear on Mr..
Voorhees, could not induce him to recede
from his position during the meeting held
in Room 100 of the Trenton House Mon
day, which was mentioned in the Jersey
City News yesterday. The conference,
lasted from one until three o'clock. Sena-
tor Stokes. was there, because he said he
would support Mr.. Voorhees, in the posi-
ton he had taken.
The lawyers urged that the r-eorganiza-
ton bill was a just one. and should pass
without such a. rider Ns the elevation.
That, they declared. would come later,
but without the bill the company would be
at a standstill.
Mr.. voorhees, replied that it would have
to stand still then, because he would not
recede from his position unless the com
pany made a definite agreement with
Jersey City to abolish grade crossings.
He was assured that that would come
as soon as the bill consenting to the re-
organization passed.
Mr.. VOORHEES, replied that he had no
faith in railroad promises. He told of a
visit made by himself and Mayor Wanser
to the President of the Erie Railroad VINO
was asked to sign an agreement, and the
President for reply asked them how much
Jersey City would pay toward the eleva-
ton.
Mayor Wanser very properly replied
not a cent outside of the vacation of GER
tain streets, and they were told then and
there hat the Erie would not elevate I'M
der such conditions. And Mr.. Voorhees,
said that they proposed to see that the
Erie did elevate or hold up its bills.
All Mr.. Hobart's and the other gentle-
mans arguments could not move Mr..

Which makes it unlawful to locate any
new cemetery without the consent of tile
local Board of Health, and House Bill
No. 80, by Mr.. Benedict, which makes
the sanre prohibition with regard to first

A cemetery company has been trying to
get a franchise in Newark. There Is a
general sentiment against it, but the

City Counsel Chandler W. Riker favored
Queens, because in Newark the Mayor

Abel T.. Smith, of Jersey City, spoke
against the bills in behalf of North Ber-

been made the burying ground for New
York, and it has been shown there that
in one cemetery over 1900 bodies were
buried in a twosacre plot, some of the
bodies being only a few inches from the
surface. AT one time d public school OPP

Erie,s Petition to the state.

The R~eorganized Erie Railway Com
pany is a huge organization to beat the
creditors of the old mpa with the
consent of the law. 1t is now pet.tioning
the Legislature of this State for leave
to gobble all the various franchises, lands
and water front privileges which the old
company plundered from this State and
its c%ities. SO that the creditors of the old
company, whatever their claims, may not
be able to get anything out of them.
1t is in a sense outrageous that the
State should be asked to pass laws to
permit this. But without resorting to
wholesale confiscation. it is hard to see
any way out of the tangle which one VIZ
lainy heaped upon another has created.
1t is, however, perfectly proper that the
State should use the opportunity which
presents itself to compel some conces-
sions to the public. The, one actually ask
ed is small in comparison with the favor
which the company is seeking. If the
Legislature yields the slightest bit in this
matter. it will stamp itself as corrupt
and corporation ridden to a degree hardly
ever before equalled in this State.
This railroad has taken a huge slice of
our water front. 1t occupies a huge slice
of the real estate of Jersey City on which
it pays a merely nominal rate of taxa
ton. In addition it occupies our streets
with its tracks, makes a whole region

The report of the trustees of the Free
Public Library. issued yesterday in print
ed form, shows that the institution is al
together the most popular one in Jersey
City 1t is also, probably, the very best
managed and here we have, no doubt, the
relation of cause and effect.
There are few men who would have
given to a labor of love the time, the
ability and the energy that DR.. Leonard
j. Gordon has given to the Library. and
for this at least the entire city is his
debtor to a degree tina cannot be ex-
pressed in words. This, of course, is said
without the least depreciation of the eff
forts of the other trustees, of Mr.. Cole,
the first Librarian. or of Miss Burdick,
who now ~acceptably fills the position. All
have contributed teir part. But the
management has been mainly a one-rnan
power machine, and in its simplicity, d.
rectness and consistency it shows the adj
vantages of the single head.
The report contains little that is abso-
lutely new. About the beginning of the
year The News covered the entire field
of work of 1895 in interview form. The
figures then given are now reduced to
tables, and that is the only change in
them. One item of new interest is the
discovery that with a total circulation of
over a million and a half volumes, less
than $50 volumes. none valuable, nave
been lost. This. as Dr.. Gordon says. GER
tainly shows an earnest appreciation OF
the Library privileges.
The report is dated December /, SO pre-
sumably the remarks contained in ii
anent the building enterprise are not ex-
actly up to date. They represent the mat.
ter as still wholly unsettled. "The News
has lately reported the later developments
in this interesting matter. The amount
