cation for the construction of a main
sewer, pursuant to an act of the Legis-
lature of the State of New Jersey, en-
titled, IAN Act to enable cities to build
main sewers in certain districts and to
acquire land for that purpose" approved
March "a, 1885; and
Whereas, 1t appears satisfactory that
said neighborhood lacks sewers for the
| proper drainage thereof and the protec-
ton of the inhabitants thereof, and that
there are no public streets through which
it is feasible and advantageous to the
city to build a main sewer from such
neighborhood to tide water or any other
waters into which the sewage OF Jersey
City is emptied; and
Whereas, The only feasible method in
which to drain this neighborhood is to
build a main sewer to the tide waters
of Newark Bay, the natural slope of
the land being toward that Bay and it
being most inconvenient to drain it in
any other direction: and
| Whereas, The population is rapidly in
creasing, the said neighborhood is now
pipes nave been laid and are connected
with many of the dwelling houses in said
vicinity, and unless a main sewer is built
for the accommodation of said neigh
| borhood, and, in such manner as that
lateral sewers can be connected Herewith,
there is great danger of disease and cpl
demic: therefore be it
Resolved, That by and with the con-
currence of the Board of Finance, and
approval of the Mayor, the prayer of the
petitioners be granted, and that a main
sewer be constructed pursuant to the pro-
visions of said act upon a line located as
follows:-
Beginning at the intersection Of the
centre line of Spring street with the
northerly line of Terhune avenue; thence
in a westerly direction and within the
lines of the easement to be condemned
and land acquired as hereinafter described
to Newark Bay; and
Resolved, That there be taken under the
provisions of said act for the same pur-
across all private lands that the following
described centre line may bisect, to wit
| Beginning at a point in the eaSterly line
of the Morris Canal, distant five feet
northerly, measured along the e~asterly
line of the Morris Canal, from the inter-
section thereof with the northerly line of
the easement condemned for the construc-
ton and maintenance of the main sewer
known as the Gerard avenue main sew
err; thence running easterly in a straight
line or course t o a point, being the inter
section of the northerly line of Terhune
avenue with the centre line of Spring
street; and further
Resolved, That the whole matter of the
said improvement be and is hereby res
ferred to the Commissioners of Assess
ment, and the Chief Engineer, he being
a discreet surveyor not interested in said
improvement for procedure according to
law.
Resolved. That the Commissioners of
Assessment, with the aid and assistance
Of the Bureau of Survey, be and are here
by directed to make and report to this
Board an estimate of the quantity and
kind of excavation and filing and amount
of work to be done and of the materials
to be furnished for the making and COM
pletfon of the said improvement, and that
upon the fling of such report, the Clerk
of this Board shall advertise for proposals
for doing such work and furnishing such
materials in manner and for the length
of time required by law.
Whereas, On the 31st day of January,
1899, application was made to this Board
