their meeting yesterday. afternoon named
the three new parks which the city re-
Gently purchased. There was considerable
surprise when the Jackson place park
was named Jackson Park. 1t had been
confidently expected by man G~reenville-
ties that the Jackson place park would
be named after Henry Lembeck, owing to
the fact that he gave the city thirty full
lots in order that a good sized park might
be created.
The Garfield avenue site which adjoins
the New York Bay Cemetery and over

Park.

the party.
Thu discussion of the prospective Re-

United States Senator was very rank.
Whenever Comptroller Hancock's back
was turned his boom for Governor was
given a perceptible boost by some of
his many friend
Congressman Gardner. of the Second
District, was also favorab1y talked of
as a G~ubernatorial candidate in the
event of the United States Senatorship
going to North Jersey.
The general opinion seemed to be that
the United States S~enatorship was like
" to go to John Kean, of Union. Dis
satisfaction among would,be once mold

The worst of King Log is not the sort

Despite the disagreeable weather 81 last
week the garden party given by st. Pat

success. So great was it that Father
Carroll decided to hold it three nights

WE would suggest that Mayor Hoos
supplement his letter by sending to the
Finance Board a list of the unnecessary
salaries brought into existence n Of
those unduly Increased during the last
ave years. The effective way to procure
reform is to get down to definite facts.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1897-07-27

THE veto by Mayor Hoos of the water
exper resolution is not unexpected; but
the grounds of hi veto will cause sur
priae. They are strictly technical, and af-
ford no light whatever as TO His Honor's
opinion OF Messrs. vermeule and Ferris.
The point raised by the Mayor is entirely
sound, however.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1897-07-27
m.ver Hoos ON municipal salaries

1t is a pity that In the letters winch ne
sends to the Board of Finance regarding
the tax budget. the Mayor leaves himself
omen to ready reply by certain sins Of
omission in the statement of fact The
purpose of the Mayor is economy. and
the general lines of his recommendations
are sound and wise. But there is a super
fetal appearance of recklessness in the
array of ~unfavorable figures. which dis
counts the effect of His Honor's recon-
mendations.
In the former message, the statement
regarding the condition of he sinking
funds was a glaring instance of this IN
last evenings letter, the inference that
the increase in the city's salary list is a
result of extravaganza is another case In
point. It is not wholly fair nor wholly
accurate, and the proof that it is unfair
and inaccurate lies SO near the surface
that it cannot fail to attract universal at
tentton.
The increase in the salary list of the
CITY mas Sole ulaLAAy hlO
ments: Schools, Police and Fire.
In the five years just expired, five new
schools have been opened. and three have
been enlarged. The number of additional
principals and teachers employed has
been ninety-fve. Several new janftors
have also been hired. The total increase
in the pay of teachers for the fiscal year
1867 as compared with 1872 is s71,S16.s7,
and for Janitors. s.. 1923. making a total of
s75,l 1897. If Mayor Hoos has based his
figures upon the departmental estimates
for 1878, this amount would. of course,
be considerably increased, as these in
clude allowances for more new schools to
be opened in the coming year. We hardly
shink that if Mayor Hoos had paused to
think, to analyze his own figures. he
would have included this sum spent on
the extension of the public schools as a
proof of municipal extravaganza.
In the Fire Department, in the last five
years, three new companies have been
organized, one In Greenville, one in Hud-
son City and one in Marion. These under
the Buffalo system cost about $4,000 each,
or a total of s12, 900 increase in the salary
list. The change from the Buffalo system
to the fully organized department costs
Just $4,000 a year. Here we have about
$4,000 of the increase in salaries ac-
counted for, and the charge of extrava-
gance will hardly hold good.
The law calls for an increase in the
police force of five patrolmen each year.
This, for FIVE years, gives a total in
crease. of twenty-five men at $1,000 a year
each, or a total of SIS, 900. Whether this
Is an extravaganza or not. every property
owner must judge for himself.
Among other causes of increase in the
salary list is the creation of the Board
of Appeals for taxes, with a salary list
Of $500; the creation of the Assessment
Commissioners as a separate body from
the Street and Water Board, and the
creation OF the offices of Custodian of the
City Hall and clerk to the City Hall
Commission. As an offset to these, one
Police Justice n clerk, and the Super
intendents' of the Police and Fire De-
partmentss have been abolished.
