LIGHT WEEHANKEN LOOP
Boulevard Commissioners
Will Comply With Free
holders Request.

The offer of the Boulevard Commission
ers to light up the Weehawken loop and
to sprinkle the road bed before the road
is formally turned over to them, was
made strictly in the interests Of the pub
lie. The Boulevard Commissioners are
greatly hampered by the fact that in all
the municipalities outside Of this city the
police are delinquent in reporting the con-
dition of the lights
If this was done daily the lamp trim
mers could locate arc lamps that go out
and have the mechanism repaired. In the
townships the lack of vigilance of the
police has resulted in the theft of many
guy ropes by which the lamps are
lowered
A resolution concerning the lighting and
sprinkling of the Weehawken loop was
passed by the Boulevard Commissioners
yesterday. 1t is as follows:-
whereas, This commission having re-
ceived resolution passed by the Board
of Chosen Freeholders, at meeting held

Point and Fifth street, Weehawken; and
holders have no appropriation with which
to either light or sprinkle said Loop or
Branch Road, or any portion thereof, and
as 1t is necessary to do so, In order that
the public may have the use of said Loop
or Branch Road, be it therefore
Resolved That this Commission do
grant this request thereby saving great
expense to the county. provided, however.
that the express understanding be. that
this commission does not assume any re-

Mayor Hoos sent the following letter s
few days ago to the Superintendent o.
the D., L. & w. R. r. Co., Hoboken:--
Dear Sir-I write to inform you that
a large number of property owners of
Waverly street, this city, between
Palisade and Oakland avenues, have
petitioned for the Improvement of that
street by asphalting. / am advised
that your company owns about 800
feet frontage on said street.
This street, at one time one of the
finest ON the Heights, has gradually
deprecated and declined in appear
ance. | note that your company's
buildings in that vicinity are badly in
need of repairs and painting, but then
that is your own concern. But on the
other hand it seems to me that the
feel ngs between the people and your
corporation would be more cordial if
the greater power would consider the
people and not stand out against
them when some of their interests are
at stake.
/ sincerely trust that your company
will file no remonstrance against this
proposed improvement, as am in
formed that in case you grant my re-
quest the Improvement will be as
Sured. In view of the benefits you
have derived from the city and the
franchises that you enjoy it does not
seem to me to be ask ng very much.
1t would certainly enhance the value
of your property, as well as that Of
the people living in that vicinity if the
Improvement is made.
Trusting you will look on this mat
ter in the same spirit which prompts
the request, / am,
Yours respectfully,

This morning Superintendent Russell
sent reply to the Mayor to the effect
that he agreed that no corporation nor
any private citizen had any equitable
right to Interfere with the improvement
of streets, and the city would never fiad
the D., l.. & w. r. R. SO acting unless
with good reason. Mr.. RusselPs very
courteous letter concluded by saying that
if the railroad company and city officials
could get together the matter could be
easily settled and he would instruct his

other tank of water. This curious
forge is made as follows: The tank
