VIXEN copies of resolutions passed by your
honorable Board for sewers or street inn

Consideration, that in order to make the
matter clearer, the kline of Improvement
be stated more specifically. For instance:

plication and the Improvement was for
s.grading, curbing, tagging and bridge
stone.r If the resolutions submitted to
me also showed the feet frontage lab to
the assessment and the feet frontage rep
resented by the petitioner, it would save
the city many bills for advertising, mas
much as both Your Honorable Beard and
provement was called for by a fair repre-
s~entatien of the property owners who
would have to a for the work. As the
a~plications are now made under the Law
OF 1895, the owner of one lot, who has
nothing to loose. no deposit being re-
uuired, can apply for an Improvement ex-
tending over several blocks and the other
property owners learn nothing of it. as a
rule unless they see the Advertisement

last stage of the proceedings. Before the
remonstrance stage has been reached,
however, a large bill of costs has been
incurred by the city for surveys, esti-
mates for quantities, maps. advertise

awards. I think this is a matter worthy
OF your care and attention. and l trust
YOU Will take some action which will

The Hudson County Wheelmen have
completed all the preliminary arrange
ments for their great race meet TO be
held at West Side Driving Park on Satur-
day afternoon, and the entries on hand
include some Of the best riders of tile
nearby districts as well as from distant
parts. 1t is said that the [. A. w. have
granted permission to many riders to
compete in this meet who are outside the
100 mile limit. 1t will be seen that every
thing points to the greatest success. The
last met held by this popular club was
the most interesting in the State mas
much as the entries included riders sell
dem seen outside the regular circuit
meets. I. A. Powell and Ray Dawson.
both OF the N. Y. A. c., were among the
starters in the one mile open, ana this
event itself was worth miles of travel to
witness. The appearance of Dawson on
Saturday has been assured, as has that of
many other cracks. Among the events viii
be a mile open, two mile open, one mile
handicap. two mile handicap, and, chief
of all. the five mile Championship of the
State of New Jersey.
This latter event has caused more in
terest and enthusiasm than any of the
others. though they are all receiving their
share of attention. In this event will be
Michaels of the Nantes, b. G. Fuller of
the North Hudson County Cyclers. who
rode a mile last Saturday in 2:l2 at his
clubs races. and many of the Hudson
County Wheeimen have entered and all
the clubs have men hard at work train
ing. as the greatest honor will belong to
the club whose representative wins first
place.
That the time in each event will be
excellent may be confidently expected.
The track will be especially prepared and
every effort made to please all. The rules
OF riding will be closely enforced. as the
list OF officials includes the most reliable
nlen in the nearby cycling circles. Such
arrangements ave been made and rules
compiled to prevent. as far Us possible,
the revolving spill, and any accidents that
occur will be due solely to the riders
That no fouling can be done there will
be inspectors stationed at the turns. An
old game among cycle racers is to elbow
a rider trying to get through a bunch,
but this trick will be impossible Saturday.
With a clear day the meet promises to
surpass anything seen in New Jersey.
