HoBoKEN AND CAMDEN sEEK HELP.
A DilI 10 re Drafted to Enable Them to
Pay for Appalling Their streets.

Mayor Pagan and the members of tho Ho-
bokeE Common Council met in conjunction
with a committee OF five members from the Com
mon Council OF Camden, n. j.. in the Hoboken
City Hall last night and concluded to draft a
bill to be offered to the New Jersey Legislature.
authorizing the cities In the State 10 pro-
vide for tho repaving of their streets by
issuing 4 per cent. bonds. The bill viii be
drawn by ex-State Senator William ID. Edwards.
Tho amount OF the proposed bonds is TO BIO linn
tied in each city according to population at the
rate OF 81 per capita and n sinking fund estub-
lished in each city for the liquidation of the
bonds.
The purpose OF the bill Is to relieve Hoboken.
Camden. and other second class cities from the
prcdicament they have been placed in through
the action Of the Supreme Court in declaring
the repa wing act passed by the Legislature some
time ago unconstitutional on the ground that It
was special legislation. Under this act Hobo
ken and Camden awarded contracts for the
asphalting OF their streets, and now they have
to find some means of paying for the work.
With a population of 10000. Hoboken. under
the proposed new bill, will be able to issue $780,
900 worth of bonds. which will amply provide
for the contracts already awarded.
