S7UHR'S GOOD ideas.
Rival Boulevard Plan to MI.
Harrison's with Some Ex-
eelTent Features.

Freebooter Stuhr has views of his own
on the route which should be selected for
the new western Boulevard and they
differ materially from the views of his
colleagues.
MY plan would be-" he said this morn
ing, ito lay the route through Manhattan
avenue to Tonnele avenue, and thence
along the County Road on the e~asterly
side of Snake Hill, continuing along the
southerly end of Snake Hill on the route
of the old New York and Greenwood Lake
Railroad TO the Hackensack River, which
could be crossed by a bridge. l would
have it go thence straight on toward
Kearny.
The city has selected a park site near
Manhattan avenue and the Boulevard,
and by adopting the route / suggest the
people would be given an opportunity to
stop over while driving or walking on he
road. Besides, there is no additional con-
struction necessary. The only change
necessary would be a slight grading, as
the county road has been in existence
ever since the establishment of the county
Institutions at Snake Hill. I favor pass
ing the Institutions, because the people
would be afforded an opportunity of visit
lIlS tuGIu WHICH lnGy HdNe uOly HOW.
Strangers would also visit the Institutions
and that would influence the wardens to
keep them in a condition as nearly per-
feet as possible. A spirit Of wholesome
rivalry would be engendered and the
grounds surrounding the buildings would
be made extremely inviting.
by crossing the southern end of Snake
Hill at the HackenSack river it would be
necessary to build another bridge. If We
were to use the present Newark avenue
bridge as suggested by our engineer, the
accommodation for wheelmen and
vehicles, not to speak of cars, would be
totally inadequate. The bridge is not
even wide enough for a wheelman to pass
while two cars are crossing it in opposite
directions. The result would be accidents
in untold numbers. The HackenSack
River at the point I refer to is at the
narrowest, and the foundations for a
bridge are already there, as the New York
and Greenwood Lake Railroad crossed
the river at that point a few years ago.
The meadows at this place are known as
Cedar Swamps, and therefore more sub
s~tantial and require less filling, and that
less frequently than If the o led
through the salt meadows. The route l
sugges would afford a direct rolad by
which the people of North Hudson can
visit the Institutions at Kearney without
aking the circuitous route of the other
plan. / believe that the improvement
should be SO laid out hat the increased
value of property along the line for taxa
ton purposes would be of such an amount
as to bear the expense incurred"

RUFPIAN IN A PARLOR CAR.
BadMan From Nyaek Strikes Trouble

William Corey. a bad man from Nyack.
New York, was arraigned before Justice
Potts in the First Criminal Court, Jersey

the Pennsylvania Railroad depot. He was
held on the double charge of carrying a
concealed weapon and ~assaulting John
Kearney, a brakeman on the Washington
Express which leaves the Jersey City
depot at 9,o'clock in the evening. Corey
entered a drawing room car and cooking
his heels upon the seat in front of him
began to smoke a huge cigar. Kearney
Informed him that the smoking car was
ahead and that he would have to enter
it if he desired to smoke. Corey. replied
with an oath that he had been drinking
lust enough to make him ugly and that
If Kearney valued his life he had better
leave him alone.

In a package beside him he had a saw.

HoBoKEN's BOND CONTROVERSY.
Mayor Pagan Declares That the City
Shall Net Lose a Cent I'm Interest.

mayor F02au DecIAFt8 uA -
shall Net Lose a Gent I'm Interest.
The controversy between Mayor Pagan
and the Common Council of Hoboken and
City Treasurer James Smith over the val
idity of the 5000. 900 asphalt bonds issue,
recently awarded by the Counc to the
Hoboken Bank for Savings, is still un-
settled. City Treasurer Smith, who is
antagonistic to Mayor Fagan's admins
~tration, still insists that the Act of 1896,
under which the issue was made. is I'M
constitutional, and he will not attach his
signature to the bonds. The Hoboken
Bank for Savings will, therefore, not ac-
cept them Until their validity Is proven.
Mayor Pagan stated yesterday that Mr..
Charles s.. Schultz. president of the bank,
had told him that the nj would &C.
cept the bonds If the bids were readver-
tised in conformity with the Act. Mr..
Schultz, however, has changed his de-
cision and now say that he cannot ac-
cept the issue SO long as there Is a doubt
as to the constitutionality of the law.
Mayor Pagan now makes the startling
announcement that as far as the alleged
validity of the bonds are concerned, the
bank now holds. $500, 900 worth of city
bonds which may be proven illegal.
81 saw Director Machold and Prest-
dent Schultz" said the Mayor, land they
told me that the only objections they
had to the asphalt bonds was that they
had been issued i~ntexcess of the amount
of the work contracted for. They as
sured me that when the. Council. readver-
tised and issued bonds not in excess of
the cost of Improvement the bank would
accept them at the same. figure named
in their bid. Now, however, ! under
stand they have withdrawn that offer. /
shall not permit a cent of interest to be
paid on the city,s bonds now held BY
the bank until this matter is settled. The
Council shall readvertise for new asphalt
bonds and If the city is put to any ex-
pense the bank people will be liable"
The Act under which the bonds were
issued applies to cities of the second
class. 1t enables the Common Councils
or Boards of Aldermen in such cities to
issue asphalt bonds in the extent of $500,
600, providing that the issue does not ex-
coed the cost of the proposed improve
ment. The improvement for which the
bonds were issued amount to
about S139, 600, and the issue made was the
full limit or $500, 600. The last clause In
the Act states that it shall take effect
provided. however, that it shall not be
construed to affect the provisions OF
any city charter"
The Act is said to conflict with the city
charter of Paterson and it Is on these
grounds that it is said to be unconstitu-
tional

Eleventh ward Republicans Scrap
Over n Nomination.

Twelve out of the eighteen delegates
from the Eleventh ward to the Republican
Assembly convention met in caucus last
light at Wilbur's Hall, Hutton street and
Cambridge avenue. Freebooter Morris
Heiney presided. The object of the caucus

sented to the convention as the choice OF

cast for Samuel II. Munroe former pres
ident of the Fremont Club; four blank,
and four scattering. The delegates then

journed,

informally tendered to Hugh ?. Sheridan,
who made a strong fight in the ward for
Alderman a year and a half ago, and to
former Assemblyman John E. Macarthur.
Both of these gentlemen have refused,
The candidates who are willing to accept
are said to be Mr.. Munroe, City
