eminent is to do this work, or at least
some Of the street and lane committee are
in doubt about The matter.
Chairman Dixon Of the street and lane
committee was asked yesterday whether
the city would do the work. but he said
it was his understanding that il would be
done by the government. He said ne
unders food the government usually paved
streets bordering its public buildings
II the paving IS to be done by the gov
ernment, it viii be departure from what
has been done Ia other cities in this re-
spect From unofficial sources it is given
as the opinion that the government Will
not DO the paving, for Ine reason that it
exercises no control over the streets.
Arrests on either of tn bordering streets
are, of course. tried and dealt with by
the city authorities. York viii be the
only street the government win use ex-
lonsively, and then only by mail wagons.
The opinion is expressed that the city
VIII pave the unpaved streets bordering
the building. just what Inc material

things have been used Of late for this
purpose. Some think brick the proper
thing. and others asphalt. The contract

JERSEYMEN ARE KICKING
TRUCKERS FROM ACROSS THE
RIVER OBJECT TO WHARFAGE.

AND HAVE BUILT SHEDS ON PRI-
vATE PROPERTY ALONG THE
RIVER FRONT IN VIOLATION OF
THE CITY ORDINANCE.
The New Jersey farmers who bring
their truck to this city for disposal
have got into a wrangle with the city
officials over the payment OF wharfage.
Some time ago the Street and Sewer
Department passed an ordinance re-
quiring that all New Jersey truckers
who landed their produce at the city'E
wharf at Front and Church streets
should pay wharfage. The figures
named by the department were one
half a cent per basket for truck
handled in that way and one quarter of
a cent apiece for watermelons BY
paying this toll the truckers were al
lowed the use OF the wharf and the
shed thereon
II appears, however, that the Jersey
men were not satisfied with this ar.
rangement. and this morning Secre-
tary Wiley was notified that sheds
were being erected on city property
near the wharf Mr.. Wiley at once
proceeded to the locality. but found
that. although sheds had been erected,
that they had been put up on private
ground and did not come under the
control OF the city.
Upon his return he notified Building
Inspector Cassidy, who looked up the
Ordinance known as the fire ordinance
relative to the construction OF frame
buildings in certain sections Of the
city, Mr.. Cassidy found that the ordi-
nance provides that no frame build
ings shall be erected north OF the main
line OF the p, w. & B. railroad tracks
or between the tracks and the Christi
anan river in that section OF the city
lying between the south side Of Fourth
and the east side Of West street, except
those structures that are used by
workmen in the erection OF buildings
This ordinance was passed July T.
1892, and was intended as far as pos
sible to prevent fires in that section OF
the city Building inspector Cassidy
will take steps in the matter.

The new WATER TOWER
PLANS SUBMITTED TO WATER CON-
MISSION BY ENGINEER LElSEN.

THE TOWER TO BE A MASSIVE
STRUCTURE WITH A BASE OF
FIFTY SEVEN FEET-WORK OF
THE COMMISSIONERS AT YES
TERDAY AFTERNOONS MEET
ING.
At yesterday afternoons meeting of
the Water Commissioners Park Engi-
neer Leisen submitted plans for the
proposed new water tower in Rockford
Park.
According to the plans the tower will
be a circular structure, with diam
eter at the bottom outside OF 81 feet,
and at the top So feet. The founda-
ton will be Of Brandywine granite,
dressed to regular courses. Above
the foundation Brandywine granite
with weather-worn faces, will be used
to complete the tower. These stones
will be taken from walls in the vicin-
ity Of Mount Salem, and will be used
to give an appearance of age to the
structure. For the same purpose the
joints will be left open. There is to
be main door, and nine windows will
serve to light the stairway, which will
be of iron. four feet wide, five flights
Of steps and four landings, and will en-
circle the tank. The upper platform
which will be the base of the observa-
tory will be a ring ten feet wide out
side.
A pointed red Spanish tile roof, sup
ported by eighteen arches and columns,
will cover the observatory. Steel or
wrought iron will be the composition
of the tank The diameter is to be
forty feet and the height sixty feet
The contents will be about 100000 gal
Ions Of water. The tower is designed
to supply all houses within the city
limits which are too high for the water
supply, and will be capable Of provid-
ing for any that may be built in fu-
ture within a radius OF about three OF
our miles.
The matter. after discussion, was
laid over until next week, by which
time the plans will be gone over and
bids for the erection of the tower will
)e asked for.

Of races, but there was no position va
