HOB0KEN BONDS NOT SOLD.
City Treasurer SMITH Declares That
Their Sale Is Illegal.

Their Sale Is Illegal.
The sale Of the 5000, 900 worth of asphalt
paving bonds which was to have been
made this morning by the city of Hobo
ken to the Hoboken Bank for Savings,
did not take place. Al the last motnent
when the transfer was to be effected City
Treasurer James Smith refused to atfix
his signature to the bonds. onsthe ground
that they were Issued contrary to law.
Bids were received for the sale of the
bonds at the last meeting of the Common
Council, and they were awarded to the
Hoboken Bank for Savings which, was
the highest bidder. The bonds We're to
bear four per cent. City Treasurer Smith
holds that they are entirely Illegal.
According to an act recently passed
by the State Legislature, he says the
Common Council has absolutely no right
to pond the city in excess of the actual
cost of the improvements for which the
bonds are issued. The Council, he said,
intended to bond the city in the sum OF
5000, 600, while the aggregate cost of the
asphalt work was only $l39, o00.
This morning Contractor McGibney,
who had done work for the city, called
at the City Clerks Office and received a
GA cLiI onH - 49,
When he took the warrant to the Treas
urer's office Mr.. Smith refused to approve
it because the Council had provided for
its payment in the proposed bond issue
President Charles s. Schultz, of the
Hoboken Bank for Savings, when inter-
viewed by News" reporter this morning
said that the firm would not take the
bonds under any consideration so long as
they conflict with the law.
Treasurer Smith also holds that the
State law conflicts with the city charter
and thereby makes it Illegal for the
Council to issue any bonds for street
improvements at all.
The act to which Mr.. Smith refers is
Chapter 81 of the laws of 1896. The clause
reads:-"The said bonds shall not be is
sued for more than two hundred thousand
($2O0, O0O) dollars, and the proceeds thereof
shall be applied exclusively to the pay,
ment of the cost of the repaving OF
streets, as aforesaid"
Preceding this the act states that the
streets to be improved must be included
in the contract duly awarded by the Coun-
ell and approved by the Mayor.

WASHINGTON. Oct. Is. 1~S91-United
States Consul Deuster, at Crefeld, Ger
many, reports to the State Department,
two instances where the German authori-
ties lave taken action which tends to dis
courage the importation of American
goods.
In one case nearly three times the or
binary duty was assessed against an in
voice of slaves because they had what
would be called common castings in this
country, but which the German apprais-
ers said were ornamental castings and
subject to the higher duty.
Another ease was where nearly a third
was condemned by the official inspectors.
This action Indicated that the American
inspection was defective.
MIR. Deuster says that the American
carriage and wagon is being introduced
into Germany
