COUNTY WILL NOW INTERFERE.
Frambach's Defiance Of West Hobo
Ken Gets Its Reward.

The local Board of Health, of West
Hoboken. has been trying for some time
to persuade or compel Frederick Franz
back to abate an alleged nuisance on
property he owns at Central avenue and
Dubois street, but without success The
County Board of Health yesterday re-
ceiyed a strong communication on the
subject from Town Clerk John P. Nc
Mahon. Mr.. McMahon writes that the
Town Council directed him to inform the
County Board that Mr.. Frambach has
totally ignored the local Board and the
Council thought that the County Board
might be able to take some more effectlve
measure to bring him to a sense OF his
dutp in the premises. The communication
was referred to Deputy Inspector Nev1n
to see what he can do with Mr.. Fran
back.
The only other matter of interest at the
meeting of the Board yesterday was the
semi-monthly report of Health Inspector
Hendricks. The Inspector reported that
he had inspected one cas- each OF scarlet
fever and diphtheria in the Town OF
Union and one case of diphtheria in each
of the towns of W~eehawken, North Ber-
gen and Harrison.

new GAS TANK
A Huge Structure Is Being
Erected On the
Meadows.

A large circular structure on the
meadows south of Bramhall avenue and
east Of Arlington avenue has attracted
the attention of many passerslby. 1t IS
a new tank. being built by the United
Gas Improvement Company. The COM
pany has purchased the plant of the Con-
sumers' Gas Company, located at the
southern termination Of Halliday street,
in the Lafayette section. The purchase
was erected some time last summer.
A number of radical changes were at
once made, among them being a COM
plete new gas making apparatus, which
was necessary, because of the increasing
business Of the concern. The plant at
that time consisted OF one huge tank, a
meter building and a building in which
the gas was made. The increase in bust
ness necessitated the erection Of a new
tank, which is now in course Of con-
struction.
This huge ank when completed will
rave a holding capacity of 100000 feet OF
gas and /, $50, COO gallons of water. 1t is to
be 81 feet high, and it will be made of the
finest quality of steel 0btainable. It IS
located on the meadows, about 50 feet
south Of the old tank. ana has for its
foundation a number of substantial piles
sunk into the ground to a depth of Is feet.
The bottom Of the tank is formed Of
hardened cement, five feet thick, which
is adequate to sustain n weight which
may be placed upon it.
The tank is properly a three lift tank
holder, and is composed Of three sections,
outer, middle and inner. The outer sec
ton measures 971s feet in diameter, the
inner section 941a feet in diameter.
The sections are made of sheets Of steel
varying in size from 2ta feet by IS feet. to
3x20 feet. The steel used Is 5-l6 OF an
inch thick. Each section is carefully
examined and tested before being placed
in position. Every rivet used is also in
spected, and if found imperfect is thrown
aside. It is the duty Of a special man TO
tap every rivet, by which means It IS
possible to ascertain if they have been
properly driven and frightened.
Mr.. A. Gilpin who is the engineer IN
charge said that every possible precau-
ton is taken to insure the construction
of a safe and substantial tank. Every
piece OF material used in the construction
is carefully examined before being used.
The work on the tank began June IA. It
will probably be finished about December
]. Mr.. Gilpin said that the United Gas
Improvement Company makes a special
business of erecting tanks for gas com
panies throughout the United States and
Canada

RAILROADS The BIDDERS

The street and Water Board Will, a. its
meeting this afternoon probably come ~
some definite plan for leasing the south
cnve. The Commissioners will advertise
1ronosals for bids. The term OF years
win be limited to 25. However, thAl
term viii only, of course, be considered II
view of more favorable offers for nlteeA
or twenty years. The leasing OF the grant
il considered by the Board to be the pest
scheme by which Jersey City can reap
some profit from the land. At nrst the
Commissioners were in doubt as 10 the
legality of making a lease, put lnese
doubts were dispelled by an opinion CIV
en- by Corporation Counsel Allan L. NC
Dermott who advised that leasing Tor d
farm OF years was within the province OF
the Board.
Much speculation is heard as TO the
probable bidders. Only railroad corpora
tions. If is believed, will bid. and OF these
the two rivals will undoubtedly be the
Tab,qb valley and Central Railroad, with
tbe odds on the Lehigh. The Commas
sioners are anxious to lease, at the pest
possible terms, this valuable tract.
President R G.. Smith, who mas given
the subject of the South Cove mucn at
tention, believes that Jersey CITY WIN pc
able to make an advantageous contract
The Colonel has discussed the matter
with competent authorities outside, VINO
all declare that Jersey City Will make
money out of the tract and at the ex-
piration of the lease ought to be IN a
nosition to take hold of it and run it I'M
der the jurisdiction of the city govern
ment itself.
rot course" said Colonel Smith, FOL
ne to run it now is impossible. We have
not the money to put the tract into such
ravenua-say like building wharves, etc.
Whatever is lone our board has this
matter uppermost and will see that me
city,s interests are properly regarded.

HOBOKEN NEEDS SCHOOLS
All the Classes Are OvercroWd-
ed--Commissioners
Puzzled.

The Hoboken Commissioners of Public
instruction are having a difficult time of
1t meeting the big influx of pupils to the
schools. The classes they say are all
overcrowded to the extentaof from toto %
pupils each. To relieve the congestion in
the downtown districts it will be neces-
sary to open three more classes in the
City Hall Armory annex. This will not.
however, be of any help to the uptown
schools, which are even more crowded
thar those in the lower section Of the
city. In No. 6 School there are at pres
ent 1888 pupils, the largest number that
has been ever registered in that or any
other school in Hoboken. The increase
in attendance has extended to all depart
ments, and even the kindergarten classes
are beginning to be o-vercrowded.
A defect in the heating plant OF School
No. 6 made it very uncomfortable for the
children yesterday. The plant is now be-
ing repaired.
