PAGAN OBJECTS.
Hoboken Council Orders Special
Election to Fill Vacancy in
the Board.

The Hoboken Common Council. at a
meeting last night. passed a resolution
ordering a special election in the Second
Ward to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of the late Councilman Charles Err
lenkotter, who died recently: The date
fixed for the election is June 20. The City
Clerk was instructed to cause proper
notices to be given and to proceed at
once with the usual preparations.
Before the resolution was adopted
Councilman Capelli presented a petition
signed by a number OF voters in the ward
asking that the election be held as soon
as possible. The resolution received the
unanimous vote Of the Board. The cam
didates to be selected by. the various par
ties nave not as yet been decided upon.
BESIDES the regular Democratic and Re-
publican nominations 1t is said that Fire
Commissioner #. w. Bender will enter
the race IN an independent ticket.
Mayor Pagan, it Is said, does not APP
prove of the vacancy being filed until
the next regular election, and there is
some ak to that effect that he will veto
the resolution. The Mayor declined to
talk last night on the subject and said
that he would express his views when
the resolution was presented to him for
his signature.
The city charter states explicitly that in
the event of the death of any member of
the Board of Council a special election
shail be held to fill the vacancy. Council
mar Capelli raised the question as to
whether there would be sufficient time as
required by law in order to prepare for
the election. 1t was decided to consult
with Corporation Attorney Minturn as to
the time allowed.
The remainder of the meeting was tak-
en- up with the passing of a large batch
OF claims and other routine business.
A contract to remove ashes and gar
bage from the streets for the ensuing
year was awarded to P. H. Flaherty. the
owest bidder. His estimate was 81. 400.
Bids We're also received for the cleaning
OF W basins, but the awarding of the
contract was; postponed.
Ordinances for the repaving with as
phalt of Willow avenue and Garden
street passed their third and final read
ings.
The city tax budget recently prepared
by the Board of Tan Commissioners was
received and adopted.
An ordinance defining the duties and
kin the salaries of the Commissioners
o o assessment was brought up and pass
ed unanimously on its third reading. The
~ordlnance has been detained before the
.board for over a year OWING to a disa-
greement among the Councilmen relat-
Ing 10 the salaries of the Commission.
The annual compensation was liked at
Sl,100 to be paid in quarterly payments.
It was decided to advertise for bids for

Unrestricted use. of the water of the
Passaic River for domestic purposes.
There would be no pollution or stagna-
ton that would make the remova sf
the Dundee dam necessary. 1t might
perhaps be necessary for the company to
construct a gate in the dam for the pur-
pose of giving Paterson a chance to re-
move the solid sewage and disinfect the
bed of the lake; this would only be a tenn
porary matter. The dam is necessary for
the preservation Of the lake which must
not be destroyed for whatever pecuniary
benefit it might be to the city of Pater-,
son. When Passaic River is purified and
redeemed the lake should be extended
and enlarged N stocked with choice
food fish to add to the health and pros
perity Of the inhabitants. Our last and
final conclusion Is that che Passaic can
and must be purified and redeemed. That
to accomplish this object 1t will perhaps
be necessary to file a bill in the United
States Court for that purpose. There
fore / 0 recommend that the amount
of five thousand dollars be pledged in
good and responsible subscriptions for
that purpose by the different communities
that are seriously affected.
