A curious communication covering both
sides of a cap sheet and written in Ger
| man, was the next documen presented
| by Clerk O'Donnell. He was directed by
| the Board to read it, which he attempted
to do, but not being well versed in the
| German language. he made slow progress,
| and was quickly relieved of tine task by
lis reference by President Midlige to the
Committee on Legislative Enaetrnents.
From Alderman Bornemann's transla-
ton. as near as ne could make out, the
| document, signed II. NJ. Hoffman, No. 43
Terrace avenue, and No. 2 Reservoir ave-
nue., asked for a new form of govern
ment for Jersey City; that q tax or IL
cense fee be levied upon almost every

two separate horses. STE; one horse, $50;
bicycles, $40; foreign team, s4o0; West
teams, 5000. and so on down to goats and
dogs: that all liquor and beer kegs shall
be taxed; that agents shall be appointed
TO collect the tax, but ne Jews to be en-
ployed. and that the money, together
with all money received for liquor licenses
shall be devoted to the benefit of Jersey
City Heights, especially for the improve
ment Of Manhattan avenue and other
thoroughfares which are now in such bad
condition that people can't get into their
houses.
The writer further said that If what is
asked for cannot be obtained from the
Board of Aldermen the Legislature will
be appealed to, and if not obtained there
an appeal will be made to the Congress
of the United States to ave reformed
the government of Jersey City. One spec
| ial point in the document was that all
beer b~ottlers. grocers and druggists who
sell liquor must pay a ~alicense fee of $500,
and that licenses shall be granted for
liquor saloons, on every second corner,
but no s'gin mills allowed in the CEN
tire of the block.
Mayor Hoos returned without his APP

| March 8. authorizing the Building Inspec-
tor to issue to Sarah A. Loder a permit
| for the erection of a two-story frame
building. the ground floor of which is to
be 100 feet wide and 100 feet deep, at Nos.

the First precinct. addressed to Chief
Murphy, was forwarded by the latter to

have a manager named Louis Sacknan
in charge. On two occasions Sackman.

upon Captain Cox ordered his arrest on a
charge of selling liquor without a license.
