OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS
The following communication from HIS
| Honor the Mayor was ~presented. received
| and referred 10 the COMMITTEES On Laws
and Ordinances
jersey City, n. j.. May l6. 1898.
| To the Honorable Board of Aldermen:-
Gentlemen-I herewith most respect
fully call your attention TO the tolio"lns
~ October Is, 1897.
To the Honorable Board of Aldermen,
Gentlemen would most respectfully
| call YOUR attention to the Building In
| spector's office. This office, IN my
Judgment, should be a sef-sustainlng
one and not merely as uOW, III " y liz
mental and STRENGTHENING one. The
| ordinance creating the same and delhi
ing the duties connected therewith may
! have answered the purpose once upon a
| time. but at present 1t is insufficient Tor
la city like ours. A we'll defined building
| law and rules and regulations for the
| erection of and altering of buildings
should be adopted at once; a certain zee
! should be charged for the necessary. per-
| nit, $40 at least for every new puildlng
and IS for alterations. A thorough. rec
\ ord should be kept in the Office OF the
Inspector and a sworn statement re-
| ouired from the owner and architect as
to the cost of any building, new or al
tered
This would also furnish valuable in
| formation to the tax assessors and aid
us in a measure to make fair and non
lest assessments. 1 have obtained from
| our sister City of Hoboken a manual of
of Building Inspector and to which |
! would most respectfully refer you. l
| would further state that "a revenue oD-
tanned in this way would undoubtedly
| leave a balance, expenses having been
deducted, which might be used as a fund
for the benefit of the city's deserving
| poor or night schools.
| AS [ deem this matter for the best in
terests of our city government, I earn
! estly urge you to consider the same at
Respectfully submitted
(Signed) EDWARD Q .
1t seems that your Honorable Board has
as yet taken M action In this matter,
I trust you will Immediately take some
steps in line with these suggestions.
Yours respectfully,
The City Clerk presented the following
munica and the same was re-
ceived and ordered filed.
