apparently trivial election will exert on

present Alderman MITCHELL a tool of

and the members have labored untiringly

crowned their efforts last election when
they wiped UP the floor with the self
styled boss Sammy Dickinson.
The Street and Water Board for the
last year has consisted of five Republi-

LAST GUN IN THE SECOND
Democrats Hold a Rousing
Meeting in St. Miehael's
Hall.

1 the Second Ward Democratic Club was
held on Saturday night in ST. Michael's
Hall. There was a large gathering of
citizens of that section of the city, which
has always proved loyal to Democratic
principles, and the several good speeches
delivered aroused much enthusiasm.
Ex-Police Justice NJ. J. O'Donnell pre-
sided and in a few well chosen words
! presented Colonel Charles Boltwood, can
/ didate for member cf the Street and
Water Board, as the first speaker.
Mr.. Boitwood received most enthusi-
astic greeting, which he acknowledged
and then said he Gid not intend to make
much of a speech, but would simply re-
/ iterate what he said few nights previous
| at St: Lucy's Hall. He would touch on
| one or two matters of special Importance
| to every resident of Jersey City First
ne would call attention to the condition
of our streets and the present method
| of improving and repairing them If a
/ citizen goes to a member of the present
/ Street and Water Board and asks what
they have done for the city, the answer
i VIII be:- as7
/ Why, look at our streets; see the i'm
proved condition in which we have placed
them
When the truth is that while you could
count the streets improved for tie
peoples benefit by the fingers on your
hand it would require three figures to
enumerate the number of streets i'm
proved for the sole use and benefit of
corporations, and instead of having the
work done by home labor, contractors
/ are brought to do 1T from New York ana
/ Newark, and when they get our money
| they return to those places to spend it
from " to 35 cents, he said, lis paid
| per square yard for all street improve
ments, and would it not be better to
/ pay this to our own contractors. SO that

| formation he had received from a drug
| gist on Central avenue that bridge stone
nad been taken up from that thorough
| fare and given to a corporation 70 take
TO- to its power house to use as a foundation
property of the city.
Mr. Boltwood next referred to the
water question, saying that he was
| firmly in favor of securing pure water.
but at the lowest possible cost. and since
he had been in the room he had been
| informed by one having full knowledge
yldes for the protection of the Passafc
River from pollution, inflicting fine OF
500 or one years Imprisonment for every
VOCATION OF that law, and allows Jersey
ing that water. If the present Street
and Water Commissioners had any de-
sire to give the city good water they
would have enforced this law, but they
have not~made move in that direction.
The last Legislature did not pass one
