HOBOKBD'S WATER PIPE
Commissioners Find That 1t Is
Laid on Private Property
Nice Dilemma.

The Hoboken Board of Water Com
missioners found themselves in a nice
| predicament last night, which bids fair to
involve the city in very troublesome legal
complications. They have awakened to
the fact that they nave constructed, at
the city's expense, a water main $50 feet
in length, on the private property Of the
North German Lloyd Steamship Company.
The discovery was made last night when
the question was brought up at the meet
ing by Commissioner Dynan.
The portion of the water main which
extends on the company's premises was
completed several weeks ago and the bills
for its construction have been paid by the
city. The steamship company was not
even asked to bear one cent of the ex-
| pense and the city willingly handed out
the money. Under the circumstances the
company made no offer to defray the ex-
pense.
When a number of claims for work done
on the new River street water main were
brought before the board, last night, Com
missioner Dynan objected to their APP
prevail. He then explained his objection
by stating that he had learned that $50
feet of the water main was on the North
German Lloyd Company's property.
why did they lay that pipe on private
property" exclaimed Mr.. Dynan. Il
want to know if this board is called
upon to lay pipe on private property"
Water Registrar Lohmann who directed
the work of constructing the main said
he was aware that the pipe extended about
150 feet inside the gate of the company's
yards at the foot of Third street, but
said he had carried out the instructions
of the committee appointed on the job.
The committee included Commissioners
Schroeder, Quidore n Guaraglia. Mr..
Schroeder was absent. MeSsrs. Guaraglia
and Quidore stated that they had ordered
the pipe put there upon Mayor Fagan's
suggestion.
The new main was laid along River
street in order to afford a larger supply
for the steamship lines When the work
was planned Mayor Pagan and the entire
Board of Water Commissioners Inspected
the route and the committee was directed
to proceed with the work. The disputed
storehouse of the steamship company.
why did we lay it there?', again
inquired Mr.. Dynan.
Why, because the North German Lloyd
Company Is among the largest consumers
of water in Hoboken answered Registrar
Lohmann.
ITS a very serious question to lay pipe
on private property and have the city pay
for it," continue Commissioner Dynan.
1T may be a crimina offense. 1t is too
serious a question to let go and I don't
want to put nay neck in the halter for
anybody. If / had known it In the frst
place l wouldn't i've approved the bills.''
Upon Chairman Weinthal's suggestion
the matter was referred to the same COM
mittee for investigation. The committee
will report to the board at the next meet
ing.
The claims which were before the board
were for another portion of the main and
were finally passed. The commissioners
agreed to pay the Hackensack Water
Committee $40, 900 on account.

This paper is Democratic in principles

questions.


The extra session Of the Legislature
yesterday vas not a specially creditable
affair for anyone concerned in it. 1t was
q reproach to the regular session. the
biundering of which afforded the excuse
for II. 1t was a reproach to the Cover
reasons of his own which have not been
made quite plain. 1t was a reproach to
the sehemers who tried to use it for the
purposes of the corporations It was a
reproach to those who prevented dyan-
tage being taken of it to correct some of
the worst sins of the regular session.
Even the Democrats. who a a chance
to keep quiet and let their adversaries
carry all the odium. could not refrain
from ~wallowing in folly to the disgust of
the public. Senator Barber of Warren
county took the opportunity of displaying
his folly and virulence apropos of the
nomination of Mr.. Joseph Rice for a
mere complimentary office. Mr.. Barber
failed to attract any attention whatever
as a Senator throughout the regular ses-
sion. He was a nonenity when the Re-
publican majority were carrying on their
career Of reckless wickedness. But he
woke up when the chance came to pro-
mote discord in his own party and to
estrange from 1t more and more the
elements of decency, honor and patriot
ism.
If men of the Barber stripe are to rule
the party and to keep up the war against
those Democrats who saved the nations
honor at the sacrifice of some of their
own most cherished ideals. it is time we
knew 1t. Mr.. Barber dared to question
the Democracy of Mr.. Rice because he
voted against William j. Bryan. Are we
then TO have all the leading Democrats
of the State ruled out? Is not Allan l..
McDermott to be a Democrat any more,
or 2. F.. {. Young. or George B. Fielder.
or Colonel e. A. Stevens, or Job Lippin-

HOBOKBB'S BBDGEf
More Money Needed for Street
Cleaning Appro-
priations.

Efle work of preparing the city budget
Iof Hoboken for the ensuing year was
continued yesterday afternoon by the
Board of Tax Commissioners. President
Martin told the members of all the com
mittees who are arranging the appropria-
tons for the various departments, to
hurry with their reports as the Board ex-
pectted to complete the budget this week.
The appropriations presented by the
committees were as follows.-Salaries for
city officials, $4S, 1877; for out door poor,
5000; care of eity's poor patients at st.
Marf's Hospital. 80, 500; fire sufferers during
past winter months, sT64.34, outstanding
claims against the city held by ST. Mary's
Hospital, $1.G62. so; contingent fund, S., 900;
schools, S73, S15.3S, added to State appro-
priation of $80,000; cleaning sewers, $4,000;
repairing Willow avenue, First and Ferry
streets, and cleaning streets, So, 900,
None of the appropriations have been
approved by the Board.
OF the $4,000 reported for the poor fund,
$500 Is to be expended through the poor
master on warrants drawn by the Help
ing Hand Coal Club, which supplies coal
to poor families during the winter months
at one-half the retail price perton. The
assistant collectors salary of 81, 500 is in
cluded in the $500 for the contingent
fund.
Street Commissioner Bernard Bayer
made a strong plea before the commits
sioners for a larger appropriation for
street cleaning. The Street Department
received $4,000 last year, but before the
year expired the Council was obliged to
appropriate $1,000 more.
Commissioner Bayer said that the sum
was entirely too small for the purpose.
He said that 1t cost New York a per
capita rate of $3.50 for the cleaning of
its street, not including the expense for
removing snow and ice. In Hoboken, he
said. it cost only ten cents per capita,
and the city was now asking a rate of
twelve cents. He said that he did not
think So, 600 was too much considering the
Improvements to be made.
Councilman Harry Snyder of the Com
mittee on Streets reported to the COM
missioners that the sewers in the city had
not been cleaned in ten years and were
in a very bad condition. An appropria-
ton Of $4,000, he said, was barely enough
to put them in shape. COMMISSIONS
Bayer made the startling statement that
there was not a sewer in the city which
contained less thar two and three feet
of mud. In the Third street sewer, he
said there were three feet six inches of
mud from the river to Willow avenue.
81 500 to repair Willow avenue, from
Eleventh street to Newark streets; 81. $50
for First street, between Park avenu
and Jefferson street, and 81, 500 for Ferry
street, from Jefferson to Monroe street.
The commissioners will meet again this
afternoon.
