A BOON TO CYCLERS.
Repairs to Arlington Avenue
Promise a Road That Can
Be Ridden On.


Bicycle riders in this county VIII soon
than the Boulevard. thai road which has
been abused so much recently, but not
without just cause. Arlington avenue,
from Grand street to Wilkinson avenue,
is being rebuilt, and if that portion which
has been finished Is a sample of what the
road will be when completed, then the cy-
cling fraternity haze reason to be happy.
Some three weeks ago the work was
started, and about forty or fifty cart
loads of dirt and mud were scraped OFF
ths road, from Grand street to the Cen
trail Railroad bridge. A layer Of crushed
stones, about half the size Of an egg, was
laid and thoroughly rolled, and on this
a fine top dressing was placed. Almost a
week was spent in thoroughly rolling the
new dressing. and from the bridge to
Grand street the road is excellent. This
work will be pushed until the whole road
has been fixed.
Even now it is surprising to see the
number OF cyclists that frequent the Ar
lfEgton avenue t~horoughfare in preference
to the Boulevard. The Boulevard should
be scraped in some places, for the dust IS
fully three inches thick. 1t is next TO inn
possible to ride through It. the only way
spots. Again there are placed where this
dust could be used to good advantage, for
instance, where the entire top dressing
has been washed away, exposing the bed
rock foundation.

ERIE ELEVATOR CASE.
Writ of Certiorari Granted to
Review the Assessment
by the City.

Judge Lippinicott, this morning, in the
Supreme Court. heard an application from
the Erie Railroad Company for a writ of
eertiorari, to review the assessment of
the big grain elevator, on Pavonia avenue,
by The Tax Commissioners, Of Jersey City.
For many years the city has unsuccess-
fuilytrled to collect axes on that portion
of the company's property, but recently
they decided to sell it under the provisions
of the. Martin Act.
Counselor James B. Vr~edenburgh, repre-
senting the company, this morning, said
tina. the elevator was a part of the estate
of Jesse White. and leased by the Erie
Railroad Company on he understanding
1867. Therefore, Counsel said, it was
strictly the property of the. company yet.
He insisted that it was not used for any
other purposes, and should only be taxed
By the State Tax Board.
Corporation Counsel Allan L. McDer-
mott said he would not oppose the appli-
cation fer the writ. If the property was
rot taxable by the City, all right; but,
if the city had the right to tax it, the
City wanted every cent it could collect.
Counsel said that under the provisions of
the Martin Act no certiorari could be
granted in a case like this until the conn
pany had furnished sufficient bonds.
1t was then agreed that the Erie Rail-
road Company should give a bond, and
the writ would be issued. The case will
be argued al. the November term of
Court.

JERSEY AT THE CAPITAL.
Congressman Gardner Named ON the
Labor Commission.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 8. 1S9S.-Sen-
ator Sewell and Representative Stewart
asked the President yesterday to promote
Captain JOIN ]. Brereton. of the Twenty
fourth Infantry, to a c~olonelcy in the vol
unteer army. He is a New Jersey maa
from Paterson.
New Jersey and other Congressman are
much pleased with the selection by the
Speaker today of Chairman John ]. Gard
ner. Of the Labor Committee, to be a
member of the Non-Partisan Labor Com
mission. II is said here that Mr.. Gard
ner is one of the best qualified men in the
country to be on the commission.
Congressman Parker, of New Jersey,
reported favorably today from the Judie-
iary Committee his bill for an additional
Circuit Court Judge on the Third Circuit,
composed of the States of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Delaware. The reasons
assigned are that the circuit has the iarg-
est population of any in the country; the
new Judge could take control Of the civil
list; the Circuit Court could be held With
out taking away District Judges from
their work; the District Judge shoul be
relieved and appeals from Circuit cases
decided by one Circuit Judge could be de-
termined by other Judges Of the Court Of
Appeals. instead of leaving such appeals
to a Court, a majority of whom are
drawn from the District Courts.

COLUMBIA PARK PROGRESS.
Contractor Connolly Hard at Work
--The Proposed Extension.

Contractor Michael Connolly, who was
awarded the contract for the improve
ment of the Columbia Park site in
Greenville, has made much rogress dur
ing the two weeks that the work has
been going on. The site is situated be-
tween Neptune avenue and Bartholdi
place, and is bounded by about two hun
dred feet of the property of Henry Lem
beck on the southeast and something like
one hundred yards of vacant lots on the
northwest. The ground slopes toward the
Boulevard, n thrpark will. when COM
pleted, only rave entrance on Neptune
avenue n Bartholdi place, the other
sides being bound in as described above.
The property owners are not satisfied
with the location of the park. and there
fore they nave prepared a petition which
will be presented to the Street and Water
Board, asking for the extension of the
site to the Boulevard. This they say will
cost but little more, and will add much
to the beauty of the park. An opening
on the Boulevard is what they want.
Cyclers would hail such an Improvement
with delight. The park site, the resi-
dents say. is not the most favored spot
in the Greenville section and that the ex-
tension should be mad
Contractor Connolly has a men at
work improving the park for perhaps
twenty days, and as the specifications call
for the completion of the work within
sixty days 1t will have to be pushed very
rapidly. The lines laid out for the walks
have been e~xcavated and they are now
ready for the paving. Trees will be
planted all over the park and benches
provided. This resting place, it is need
less to say, when completed will be we'll
patronized, as the residents have waited
patiently for it for more thai a year.
