PARK AVE. PRIVATE PROPERTY
Hoboken Will Probably Get No
Boulevard Loop.

Hoboken residents are anxiously wait
ing for the construction of the proposed
Boulevard loop which is to nnec Hobo
ken with the Weehawken end of the
Hudson Boulevard. 1t has now TRANSFERRED
that Park avenue, through which it was
designed to build the road, is the private
property of the Hoboken land and I'M
provement Company. Freebooter Clayton
of H%oboken, said yesterday, that the
t-horoughfare could not be used for the
Boulevard until it was formally dedicated
as a public street.
I'VE were surprised" said he, when we
came to inquire into the matter in re-
Spouse to the general demand for the
of the Boulevard, to find that
Park avenue is not legally a public road
way. 1t is all private property north of
Fourteenth street, owned by the Hobo
ken Land and Improvement Company.
Under such circumstances the. county
cannot be expected to improve or build a
through the property. The city should
first secure the dedication of the street.
There are objections to using other
street because of the trolley cars.
1.-THE preliminary plans for the road
are now in the hands of the engineers,
who are ready to prepare regular speci-
fications, but unless Park avenue is legally
dedicated as a public t~horoughfare j am
satisfied that the Freeholders will drop
the whole scheme. We can't do anything
until that is done"

Cumberland County,s Assembly Com

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.'1
BRIDGETON, Sept. 10, 1S9I-The skillful
hand of ex-Sheriff Allen R. Shinn was
displayed yesterday when he succeeded in
the delicate task of securing the Repub-
lican Assembly nomination in the con-
vention for his nephew, Wilson l..
Shropshire of Commercial township. The
ex-Sheriff is the party leader here, and
his hold is now tighter than ever. The
contest has been intensely warm, and
was watched with much interest.
Assemblyman J. J.. Hunt of Vineland
was renominated to Succeed himself, but
when nominations were called for a can
didate to succeed Assemblyman B. H.
Minch, the names of ex-senator Isaac T.
Nichols, Councilman-at-Large Charles H.
Stevenson and Wilson L. Shropshire
were proposed. The Bridgeton delegates
were pledged to Nichols; the Millville
delegates to Stevenson, and the delegates
of most of the lower townships to
Shropshire. The delegates of Vineland
(Shinn's former home) were unpledged,
but they voted for Shropshire on the first
ballot and stuck to him Until he was
nominated on the fifth.
On the first ballot Shropshire received
46 votes; Stevenson, 81, and Nichols, "a.
Nichols had lost four votes ON the fifth
ballot, but on his the Millville delegates
all deserted Stevenson and went to
Shropshire, giving him II votes and NOM
mating him. while Nichols had 80 votes
and Stevenson 10.
Shropshire is very popular in the lower
townships, and is a good representative
of the oyster element.

The Asphall ordinances.

Ii is to be hoped that the new street
ordinances viii not be turned into wea-
pons for the persecution of ckm or
anyone else. The purpose. for instance
in barring heavy vehicles from the as
phalted streets is not to make a revenue
for the city out of fines, but to protect
the road. Orders should, therefore, be
given to the police to warn drivers off, in
the first place. and only arrest them when
they refuse to go.
This course should be pursued in regard
to out of town drivers in particular. They
cannot be reasonably expected to know Of
the restriction until they are told, and to
arrest and fine them without warning is
simply an outrage. We cannot see upon

THE LATE j. LESTER WELLS.


To the Editor OF 1.-The Jersey City Ncws":-
am desired by Mrs. J. l.. Wells to
thank. through your columns, the large
number of friends in Jersey City whose
deep sympathy with her in her sad loss
has been so kindly and tenderly expressed.
The intense feeling shown has made her
deeply grateful for the wide expression
of affection and esteem made in behalf
of her late husband. Many beautiful
flowers were sent. the names of the donors
of which were not found. But among
those known may be mentioned the fol
lowing:-The Vigilant Field Club. w. e.
Bassett, the Y. I: s. of Christian En-
deayor of the First Congregation Church
(both branches). also the Ladies' Aid So
ciety n the Mems Club of the same.
and from the J. c. Council, No. 50, Royal
Arcanum.
Mrs. Wells expects to take up her resi-
dence in Newark in two or three weeks.
In the same city the body of Mr.. Wells
will be permanently buried, and not In
Ohio, as previously stated. 1t is hoped
that many who We're prevented from at
tending the funeral service will take adj
vantage of the opportunity of attending
the memorial service on Sunday evening,
