DEAD DOGS IN THE CANAL
Horrible Sources of Disease
Which Afflicted Lafayette.

The bodies Of ffty-two dead dogs, IN
various stages of decomposition, were
taken from that portion of the Morris
Canal<Thich runs through Lafayette, yes
terday afternoon. They were piled on the
towpath at the foot of Ash street and
were removed by Contractor Vatsky, VINO
removes Jersey City's dead nimal
Such a sight was never witnessed IN
LAFAYETTE before. For the first time in
years the canal is free from the carcasses
of dead animals. The good work will be
continued and the Greenville section will
be afforded relief from the dead dog
nuisance. The dog were removed by the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, which
controls the Morris Canal, at the request
OF Health Inspector Benjamin of the local
Board of Health.
AT the last meeting of the Board Of
Health complaint was made by a number
of citizens of Lafayette against the con-
dition of the Morris Canal. They conn
planned of awful stenches which came
from the water and of the quantity of
dead dogs that foated upon its surface,
endangering the health of persons living
in the vicinity of the canal and making
life generally miserable for them. The
- I&AC-
Commissions West, who lives in I.afay-
cite, was not a signer of the petition, but
at the meeting he added his voice in pro-
test of the nuisance. Health Inspector
Benjamin was instructed to abate the
nuisance at once. He at once consulted
with the officials of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company. They expressed them
selves as perfectly willing to cooperate
with him in any manner he might sug-
gest. The result was hat yesterday an
old cana boat was manned, the crew
being supplied with graphing hooks, and
the canal was systematically dragged
through the Lafayette section. The bodies
were pulled aboard the boat with crap
ping hooks and were piled upon the dock.
The odor arising from them was indie
scribable. When all the bodies in sight
had been secured they were piled upon
the towpath at the foot of Ash street,
where Vatzky's men called for them.

STAMPS FOR SEARCHES.
Attorney General Grey Gives
an Opinion to Supreme
Court Clerk Riker.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."]
TRENTON, July 2. 1se8.-Supreme Court
Clerk Riker sought an opinion from At
torney-General Grey in regard to tile re-
quirements of the internal Revenue law
in regard to going out of his
office. The Attorney General gave the fol-
lowing opinion
Reply to your favor of June q, in which
You ask my opinion 'as to whether c%ertif-
Gates of search are comprehended within
the classiications of Schedule A of the
war Revenue Law of 1898" thus: certih-
Gates of any description by law not other
wise specified in this act, ten cents, and
whether certificates attached to tran
scripts of pleadings are subject to stamp
tax under the same paragraph, permit
me to say that under the statutes of New
Jersey as interpreted by the Court of
Errors and Appeals, the County Clerks,
and the same rule would apply to the
Clerk of the Supreme Court, when en-
ployed to make searches, are entitled to
compensation for the search SO made from
the person by whom they are employed
to make it. The clerks are custodians of
the records of the county, ana the Clerk
Of the Supreme Court is the custodian OF
the fscOfaS Oh the supreme Couit.
These are public records to which any
one may have access at all reasonable
hours, from which any one MAJ make
transcripts or extracts without compen
sation being made to the clerk, or any
person may employ the clerk to make
such transcripts or extracts, in which
case the clerk nakes a transcript in the
form of a certificate which is known as
a .ssearch certificate" It seems to me
that these certificates grow out of the
relation of private contract between the
person who orders the search and the
clerk who furnishes it, and as they are
not made in the administration of the
State government las they are not one
of the nstrumentalities by which the
government is carried forward, but the
outcome Of a private bargain between the
man who orders and the clerk who makes
the search. I think they are subject to
taxation under the United States revenue
law
As to the certificates attached to a

proved by the City Boards
Sent to the Executive.
WHAT WILL He DO WITH THEh9
Resolutions Advising Adver-
tisement Also Placed
on File.
WHAT WILL He Do WITH THEM?

The water specifications, approved ny
the Street and Water Board on Thursday,
were formally presented to Mayor Hoes
this morning. for his approval or rejec-
ton. AT about the same time Martin
Finck, Clerk of the Board Of Finance,
filed with the Mayor an official eopy OF
the resolution passed by the FINANCE
Commissioners, authorizing the street
and Water Board to advertise for pro
posals for a new supply under the specl-
fcations now awaiting executive action.
The Mayor will not consult engineers
about the specifications. As a whole the
cumen meet with his approval. There
are one or two minor points, which His
Honor would like to have amended; but
he will waive his objecsons. it is reported,
in order that no more precious time may
be wasted in the acquisition of a new
supply. This morning the Mayor Went
over the specifications very carefully Win
his secretary. When asked his opinion OF
them the Mayor remained silent. He said
he would moi act today. His Honor will
dispose of the specifications one way or
the other on Tuesday next. The impress
sion prevails that the Mayor will approve
the specifications.
Garwood Ferris, the engineer whose
services were recently dispensed with,
was at city Hall. this morning. When
asked what he thought of the speeifca-
lions he said. they struck him as being
fair, and just about what was required
to enable the city to get a proper supply
of water. Engineer vermeule has not
been seen since his dismissal.

a bicycle. Recorder Stanton required each
to furnish $500 bail to keep the peace for
six months.
