Chief Engineer Fowler this morning
paid a visit to the lower Montgomery
street Improvement and expressed himself
as entirely satisfied with the manner in
which the work is progressing. He de-
clares that the layer of concrete which
is to form the bed for the paving blocks
will be the best the city has yet been
able to secure for any improvement.
Mr.. Fowler also stated that property
owners, storekeepers and pedestrians need
not worry about the condition of the south
side of the Improvement during the COM
ing winter. The announcement that a dirt
roadway was to be put up with until
it was deemed safe to pave over the re-
cent sewer trench, brought forth more or
less remonstrance from citizens who saw
visions of quagmire and muck along the
south side of the street. The city has
stepped into the breach and will con-
struct 9 temporary roadway by resetting
the old stones.
This announcement will be hailed with
some show of satisfaction by the store
keepers On the south side of lower Mont

Mayor Pagan, of Hoboken, held a con-
ference yesterday afternoon with Presj-
dent Charles L. Williams Of the Utica
Paving Company, Chairman Joseph S.
Weinthal of the Common Council, Cor
poration Attorney James F. Minturn and
Couneilmen Bewig, Londrigan and Steil
for the purpose of discussing the situation
growing out of the action OF the Supreme
Court in declaring the asphalt bond act
invalid after the city lac awarded con-
tracts amounting to $500, 900 under it's pro-
Visions The invalidating of the act has
prevented the city from issuing bonds to
cover the cost of the improvements.
President Williams stated that the Utica
Company had perfect confidence in the
city and was willing to wait for payment
until the Legislature meets and passes
an enabling act to meet the requirements
of the Supreme Court. Mr.. Williams
added that the ompany never thought of
taking legal proceedings against the city
and that such action would be an extreme
resort.
Attorney Minturn said thai he believed
there would be no difficulty in passing an
enabling act through the Legislature, as
there are several other cities in the State
in the same predicament. Trenton and
under the same act, and. like Hoboken,
will have to postpone payment until the
Legislature empowers them to issue the
necessary bonds.

HAD oxLY one COUNTERFEIT.

Frank Keegan, of Erie, Pa, and Alice
Hart, of No. A Grand street, this city,
were arrested by Chanceman Britton on
Essex street at six o'clock this morning
and were arraigned in the First Criminal
Court before Justice Potts on the charge
of passing counterfeit money. Britton
was walking along Essex street when he
was accosted by an excited woman who
proved to be Lizzie Hartman, wife of a
s~aloonkeeper at No. IS Essex street. She
asked him to hurry to the saloon and ar
rest a man and a woman who had tried
to pass a counterfeit dollar On her. In
the police court Chaneeman Britton testi-
fed thai while at the patrol box Keegan
threw away the counterfeit money, which
was however recovered and produced as
evidence. As the prisoners only had the
one counterfeit upon them and the man
explained that he had received it in
change in Hoboken, Justice Potts decided
that the evidence was insufficient and dis
charSed them,
