MARSH LANDS.
Board Of Trade Endorses
Ketcham's Bill : Ri
parian Bill.

Very little of Importance was transacted
at the meeting of the Board of Trade last
night The only matter which aroused
any interest was the reclamation of the
meadows. which was thoroughly discussed
at the last meeting, and a committee APP
pointed to confer with the Elizabeth
Board of Trade.
G. w. Russell, of that committee, re-
ported that he attended the meeting in
Elizabeth on the meadows reclamation,
at which r. c. Solomon, Of Newark,
and Engineer c. c. Vermeule of Orange,
were present. These gentlemen, he said,
argued for cooperative efforts of
Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce
and citizens of Jersey City, Newark and
Elizabeth to secure legislation and en-
dorsing Senator Ketcham's bill, NO 62.
The Elizabeth Board then appointed
committed o meet Boards in Jersey CITY
and Newark to that end.
The Board thinks that if the legislation
referred to could be secured the three
cities would suggest methods to reclaim
the marsh land for factory and other
manufacturing purposes. Mr.. Vermeule
has prepared plan which he submitted
some weeks ago to the Board and the
main feature of it is dyking
the lands much in the same
way as done In Holland. When
Senator Ketcham's bill passes the Board
will take suitable action.
A. J. Corcoran opened the subject of
riparian reform by which it is proposed
to take out of the hands of the Riparian
Commissioners the right to sell the Zee
of riparian lands and instead permit them
to lease the lands which, on the explra-
ton of the lease, will revert to the State.
Mr. Corcoran thought it would be
good idea to invite Senator Allan l.. Nc
Dermott and Commissioner G. c. Black
to attend the next meeting of the Board
and explain the measure, bearing particu-
lar reference to the lands on the Hack
ensack River front. 1t was so carried
1t was resolved that the Board of Trade
earnestly commend to the favorable con-
sideration of the President and Congress
H. R. 10.524, introduced by Mr.. Adams, to
increase the efficiency of the foreign ser
vice of the United States. copy of the
resolution was ordered to be sent to the
President.
Mr.. j. A. Dear reported that the ques-
ton of transfers between the systems of
the North Jersey and North Hudson
County Railroad Companies was still un-
der consideration and had nothing fur
ther to report.
Neither was anything done by the Board
in the matter of delinquent members.
Treasurer Frank Stevens made report
of the Boards finances. In the Second
National Bank and Provident Institution
for Savings there were $147.40.
On the matter of the never-to-be-for-
gotten Sampson dinner the committee re-
ported deficiency of $37.
Some routine work was transacted and
| the Board adjourned.

WEST SIDE CITIZENS AN CRY.
Object to Pest House in Their
Neiehborhood.

The Board of Health of this ofty in con-
templating the use of an old building on
West Side avenue, between Gautier and
Communipaw avenues, as contagious
disease house, has raised up veritable
hornets nest and property owners in that
vicinity are justly angry.
This morning ex-Director Henry w.
Dewitt made formal protest to Health
Inspector Benjamin against the scheme.
Mr.. Dewitt lives on Bently avenue, near
to West Side avenue, and he told Mr..
Benjamin that the presence of such
house would be serious injury to the
neighborhood generally.
Rev Father Sullivan, of st. Aloysius
r. c. Church, also has made protest
besides other influential residents. There
are talks of injunctions if the Board per-
sists in its plan.

RIPARIAN LAND BILL
Commissioners Awaiting the Fate
Of the New Bill.

The Riparian Commissioners are much
interested in the proposed bill to clip their
wings now before the Legislature, and at
a meeting held secretly today it decided
to issue no more grants until the fate of
the bill has been decided.
The Commissioners do not wish to take
any side in the matter, feeling that it is
not becoming for them to aid or oppose
any legislation affecting their powers.
1.-The people, said one of the Commits
sioners this morning, have right to say
what we shall or shall not do, and we bow
to their will. We have merely been carry

BAKER CHARGED WITH THEFT.
Child Handed Him Roll of Bills
and He Is Said to Have Taken Some.

Robert Schroeder, a baker, of No. 449
bergen avenue. was arrested yesterday
morning on a complaint preferred by
Jacob Merten, of Newark, and collector
for a flour firm in that city. Mertens
charges Schroeder with stealing s245 from
him. The latter was bailed out shortly
after his arrest.
Merten claims that he went into
Schroeders bakery about eight O'Clock
Monday night to make collection. In
his hand he carried package containing
$3.50 which he collected shortly before.
Schroeder was in the rear room eating,
according to Merten's story, when he
called.
Merten said that he laid the package
of money on the counter and began to
talk to Mrs Schroeder. While thus en-
gagged Schroeder's child, a youngster of
about five years, picked up the package
and carried it in the rear room to its
father.
Merten further said that after con-
versing with Mrs. Schroeder about five
minutes he suddenly missed his money.
Rushing into the back room he found the
baker counting the contents of the pack
age The cash was returned to the COL
lector but he said that s245 was missing.
The baker denied the theft. Merten then
secured a warrant from Justice of the
Peace Charles Rowe, and Schroeder was
arrested about eight o'clock yesterday
morning.
Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder were arraigned
in the Second Criminal Court this morning
charged with grand larceny. Police JUS
flee Potts declined to hear the case, as
Mertens was one of his clients. The case
will be heard by Police Justice Nevins
Friday morning.
