than Alderman Edward Barr. He is a
big factor in the campaign work, and is
a very popular man in the Greenville sec
tion. Since the nominations were made
Mr.. Barr has worked early and late for
the success of the party, and he expresses
his confidence in the party to triumph
again this spring.
Alderman Barr, by his energetic labors,
has cut down the Republican majority in
the Seventh ward, and he says that the
candidate Mr.. Peter Ehrhart, will be
elected Alderman by larger majority
than he was

Bartholdi Witteke, a grocer, of No. 462
Central avenue, was fined s. in the Second
Criminal Court this morning for violat-
ing rule forbidding heavily laden trucks
on the Boulevard after certain hours. At
the advice of his counsel, Max Salinger,
he paid the fine under protest Mr.. Sal

His son represented him. Charles Freund.
a Newark avenue weiss beer and sarsa-

Boulevard Association. or Boulevard
Desfroyers,'' as the association mas been
nicknamed was also in court, and took
Mr. Wittke's case in hand.
The association Is composed of men who
own trucks and find it necessary to use
the Boulevard at times. They oppose the
rule which prohibits the appearance of
their trucks on that thoroughfare at any
time. Mr.. Freund undertook to lecture
Justice Nevin for imposing fines in such
cases, but was brought up with round
turn. The Justice gave him to under
stand that as long as the rule was law
his oath of office compelled him to inn
pose fines in such cases. A test case is
now before the Supreme Court for review.
Mr. Freund argued that until a decision
was handed down no fines should be i'm
posed. The Justice told him he could GER
tiorari all the cases he pleased, but until
the rule was declared Illegal he would
continue to impose fines on all violators.

The estimate of $4,000 for land damages,
that is property taken for the road either
by purchase Or condemnation, was made
UP by l. A. Travis of Kearny, who has
secured options from the owners of all
the land needed. Chief Engineer Harrison
saws that the work on the road from
Sanford avenue to the Bellevllle brldge
and from Davis avenue to the River
road, can be commenced at once ana pc
completed before or during the summer
of next year. The cost of those two sec
tiens is estimated at $4,000. Mr.. Harrison
suggests that the filling which Will pc
needed on the meadows section shouid
be allowed to settle for whole winter
before the macadam pavement is laid
In that case the entire road will not be
completed before the summer of 1900

It will be more expensive, but it will be

Chief Engineer Harrison reported that
the extension without the viaduct would

with brick and will have grade of five
feet in every hundred. The roadway will

Thirteenth street viaduct in this city. Mr..
Harrison has reason to believe that the

The Chief Engineer estimates that the

an assessment of 2 per cent on the as
sessed valuation of the county there IS
available $47S 4S4 for the purpose.
The next most important business trans
acted by the Board was to abolish the
office of counsel to the County Board for
the equilization of taxes: The office Is
sinecure, and has been held by that dis

duty Mr. Kiink has had to perform was to

Nine bids for laying sidewalks on the

Chief Engineer Harrison was directed to
vacate the office in the Fuller Building

Primary Squabble.

Members Of the Hoboken Democratic
City Committeeman met last might in
Coyle's Hall to take action ON the Third
ward Aldermanic nomination. Chairman
Coyle informed them that Justice Lippin-
cott would not render decision until to-
day. He suggested that the meeting be
adjourned until this evening. when the

entitled to the nomination the committee
