To the Board of Finance and Taxation,
Jersey City, N. j.
Gentlemen-Referring to the claim of
James S. Erwin against the Mayor and
Aldermen of Jersey City, concerning
which a letter was addressed to you on
July Z last, 4 desire to make the follow
ing additional statement
There was a warrant ordered drawn in
the matter for the sum of $1,122.23, the
amount mentioned in said letter. but up
to this date it is not yet ready for de-
livery. BY reason of the delay attend
ing to the matter it was thought best to
proceed regularly with the action, which
was on the calendar of the present term
of the court. Judgment was obtained in
favor of the plaintiff and against the
city, and duly entered in the New Jer-
sey Supreme Court, on October 80. 1897,
amount TO $76.03. The statement at this
date, therefore, stands as follows:-
To Judgment entered October 30,
1879 Sl'loz oz
to November q, S97............ 90
To costs taxed in N. j. Supreme
Court :. . ......:...-. rs Us
To costs taxed in N. J. Court of
EfrOrS !. /. ...........,........ -. ~ 5S
Total s1,227 %
1t will thus be seen that the amount
now due exceeds the amount of the war
rant order drawn by over one hundred
dollars. 1t seems only fair, therefore, to
ask your Honorable Board to pass a new
resolution and reseind the former reso-
luton, or to take such other action as
may be equitable in the matter.
Very respectfully,
JOHN L. KELLER.
Attorney of Plaintiff, James S. Erwin.
