JACKSON AVENUE CITIZENS REJOICE
Work ON the Sewer Is Being
Rapidly Pushed.

The residents in the vicinity of Jackson
avenue are much pleased with the pro-
gress tina is being made on the recon
struction of the brick oval sewer in that
thorou@hfare. The work has now adj
vanced to within about fifty feet of Bran
hall avenue, where 1t will terminate.
The re-constructing of the sewers in
Communipaw and Jackson avenues has
been a piece of work which has caused
much inconvenience as we'll as suffering
to the residents. For weeks and weeks
the walks have been piled high with
stones and dirt. AT times passage was
Impossible at certain points owing to the
mud and water which flowed over the
sidewalks. The work has been pushed as
rapidly as possible and even through the
recent wet spell the workmen continued
on the job. 1t now looks as If the recon-
structfon of the sewer will be completed
In about three weeks time. Communipaw
avenue, which recently looked as though
an earthquake had struck it owing to the
work on the sewer in that street. now
presents a most respectable appearance.
The entire block where the sewer was
reconstructed has been repaved and is
now open to traffic.

SILVER DEMOCRATS Dine.
The l6 to I Men Have a Love
Feast at Camden
Bryan's Letter.

Especial to sThe Jersey City Newk."1
CAMDEN, June 8, 1ssS.-The Democratic
dinner here last night proved a 1S to
love feast. The gold Democrats were
absent.
David M. Chambers presided. and about
1850 followers of William Jennings Bryan
were gathered at the feast which was
spread IN the Temple Building. Scarcely
a dozen guests from North Jersey We're
present, but the lower counties were well
represented. Letters of regret were read
from a number of prominent Democrats
of New Jersey. and a letter from w. j,
Bryan was hailed with uproarious APP
plause. The late Democratic candidate
for President said hat he still stood on
the Chicago platform, and continued as
foilows:-
q write to assure o that my faith in
that platform as an expression of Democ-
racy is as strong as ever, n that my
confidence in the ultimate triumph of
that platform increases.
AT present public attention is directed
to the war, but when peace is restored
the money question will reappear and
financial independence in the United
States will follow political independence
in CUBA"
Bryan's letter struck the keynote of the
evening and all the speakers enlarged on
the necessity Of keeping free silver to the
fore in New Jersey in the coming State
campaign as a prelude to making the next
National campaign on that issue,
The toasts and speakers were:-"Our

Senator DAILY kept his G~ubernatorial
boom in the background, as he is likely
to retire from the race to stand for the
Congressional nomination in the Hudson
district.
The determination of the free silver
Democrats to make that issue paramount
means a lively fight and a probable split
in the coming State convention.

WHERE'S THAT TROLLEY LINE.
jackson Avenue Residents Think
Traction Co. Has Forgotten 1t

The property owners in Greenville who
are behind the proposed Jackson avenue
trolley line are waiting for an answer
from the traction company relative 70
the line on that thoroughfare. the mem
beers of the committee which recently
waited on the traction eompany to find
out what that company would do in the
matter are getting rather impatient over
tbe DELAY. now that the Consolidated
Company has passed into the n OF
the North Jersey Street Railway COM
pany. The committee was promised an
answer by the first of this month, OUT as
vet not a word has been heard from the
officials of the road.
vice President David Young told the
committee of Greenville property owners
which waited on him some time ago that
he was in favor of the trolley line on
jackson avenue, and that when the Exc
eutiye Board met he would bring the
matter up an durge the members TO raw
orably consider the proposed trolley Inc.
Many property owners are of the opinion
that the traction ompan Will DO notn-
ing in the matter, as so much time mas
already been wasted. The committee
came to the conclusion some time ago not
to visit the company again for the pur-
pose of agitating the trolley line on Jack
son avenue. One of the members SAID
that too much time had been wasted al
ready by the committee and that the mat
ter now rests with the officials OF the
company.
I'VE have made our last visit to urge
this matter" said a member of the COM
mittee, .sand it is now the duty OF the
ompan to do something. You can rest
assured shat no more time will be wasted

cided upon very,shortly.'

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-06-03

MAYOR HOGS veto of the Grove street
trolley is the result of a misinterpretation
of the Democratic platform. The policy
of the party Is Of curse opposed to giving
away public franchises without proper
compensation. In this position, broadly,
the Mayor has the approval of all good
citizens.
But the principle does not apply to the
case of Grove street. Here. there is no
franchise to grant. The company has the
franchise, what it is seeking to do is
bestow a great advantage on the city.
That 1t should be asked to IA for the
permission to do this. is a reversal of all
reason and common sense.
The company should appeal to the next
Legislature for relief from the intolerable
oppression to which 1t is subjected. There
should be a law authorizing all existing
street railroads to change from antiquat-
ed to up-to-date modes of traction with
out anybody's permission.
In the present case, the opposition is
simply fatuous. The improvement would
bring the business Of seventy-fiye or
eighty thousand within reach Of Newark
avenue. n the business men want It.

Is 70 he won by obstructing and blocking
every progressive idea. The Mayor GER
tainlv has this element at his back.
THE difficulty about the water contract
appears to be the Democratic platform
on which Mayor Hoos was elected. There
is no real difficulty except in the Mayor ,
mind, but as the Mayor absolutely CON
trolls the situation, what appears to be a
difficulty to him is an effectual obstacle
TO all progress.
The Mayor says he will not sign any
water contract costing eight or NINE MIL
lion dollars because the Democratic plat
form condemned Mayor Wanser's admin
istration for making an award at 1880 oVo-
OF course the Flynn bid, which is the one
the Mayor refuses to sign, is for seventy
million gallons. while that which Mayor
Wanser accepted from the Jersey cry
water Company was for fifty million gal
Ions per day. Thus the bid now before the
city offers an Increase of two-ifths in
the supply while the price is increased
only one-tenth, taking the Mayors maxi
mum figure. Surely h position taken
I'D In the Democratic platform can have
no application under these changed
figures.
AS a matter of fact, it is well to re-
member tina none of the bids, now being
considered by the city, calls for any such
sum as eight million dollars. h pur-
chase price of the Rockaway and Hudson
is Sc. 900, 900. and that of the Flynn plant
sc. 415, 600. so that Mayor Hoos is indulging
in a very remote speculation in futures
when he talks of eight million dollars as
the price. The truth is this figure has
only been interjected into the case by
speculation as to h cost of a supple
1N.ntary pipe line to meet the prospective
Increased demands of the city in 1925.
Truth compels the further omment that
the Democratic platform remarks upon
Mayor Wanser's water policy were ex-
ceedingly indiscreet and injudicieus. Dur
ing the campaign when Mayor Hoos was
elected, things were written and said upon
the subject which were utterly unreason-
able, and which could have no effect but
when Their time came to act. THE
News refused to indulge in these wild
and foolish charges against the ~Outgoing
