Why Hoboken Laid a Water Pipe on
the German Steamshfp Propertr


the German Steamship Propertr
When the Hoboken Water Board met
recently Commissioner William j. Dynan
raised howl over the fact that the
Board had paid out a large amount of
money for the laying of water main
on the private property of the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company at
the foot of Third street. The work was
done under the direction of the Commit
tee on Streets, but Water Registrar Lob
mann says that the members of the Board
were all aware that it was ordered It
was thought at the time Commissioners
Dynan brought the matter up that there
would be an opening for a great deal of
litigation between the steamship company
and the city. That the city should go
to the expense of laying pipe on private
property, Mr. Dynan said, was an out
rage, and upon his motion a committee
was instructed to make investigation.
The committee made its report at the
meeting of the Board held last evening,
but Mr.. Dynan did not appear. Commits
sioner Guaraglia, who spoke for the
committee. said that the company was a
large consumer Of water and that it
had threatened to move to New York
until the Board concluded to lay a larger
pipe on its property. connecting with the
main in River street The pipe, it is
said, runs $50 feet within the company's
line No offer was made on the part of
the company for the part or whole pay
ment of the expense.
We'll, I declare, said Commissioner
Weinthal, 1T was only at the last meet
ing that the members of this Board
claimed to have no knowledge of this
matter. don't understand how you
came to change front so quickly. think
it would be a good plan to have this
matter further investigated"
Registrar Lohmann said that there was
apparently an effort to throw the re-
sponsibility upon him. II want to re-
pudiate that now" said he. The work
was done under the direction of the
Commissioners. They were down there
and knew all about it,
That reminds me- responded Mr..
Weinthal. Il asked them at the time
and they denied it. The Registrar is not
supposed to stand as sponsor for the
members of this Board.''
AS Mr.. Weinthal was alone in his
stand for further investigation, his mo-
ton was overruled and the report of the
committee was adopted.

THE CLAY ION-GREEA
CASE DECIDED.

Especial to .The Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, June Is, 1897. The Supreme
Court, through Justices Dixon and Lud-
low, has decided the certiorari cases
brought against the Hudson County
Board of Freeholders. The opinion holds
that the resolution appointing single
standing committee of twenty-six, with
sub-committees. is an invasion of the
statute The Court also decided that the
proper remedy in the Directorship case
is by quo warranto and not. certiorari.
This leaves Green director. but Clayton
has another chance for the office by quo
warranto proceedings.
