| said:-sThere is no doubt in my mind
that if the ideas that ave been suggested
could be carried out it would make a
great difference in the business done on
Newark avenue. At present we are not
only handicapped by the various car lines
that do not touch our street, but also
by the fact that thousands of persons
north of Hoboken avenue never see Jersey
City except when they come here to pay
their taxes. The people in that section OF
the city are weaned away from us. All
the car lines and conveniences go by way
of Hoboken. There is another matter that
perhaps some of US have not thought OF.
The Newark and New York Railroad
takes a vast number of shoppers to New
ark. The fare from Jackson avenue TO
the heart OF the shopping district is only
eight cents, and the trip can be made in
fifteen minutes. The women prefer to go
to Newark, as the cars are not over
crowded, passengers do not have to hang
ON the straps and ladies do not have to
stanD on the platforms. The latter is a
source of evil. There houldS be more
conveniences on the Bayonne line, at
least during the rush hours, morning and
evening. If tina was the case not only
would the receipts of the North Jersey
Street Railway Company be larger, but
we would benefit by it.
I'VE are handicapped more than the
merchants in any other city ] know OF.
1 often. wonder why any person should
take the trouble to walk from Grand
street to Newark avenue to go shopping.
If the cars could be run from Grand
street to Newark avenue it would brlnS
us thousands of persons who perhaps 90
not know there is such a place as New
ark avenue. At present they lake the
cars to the ferry, are emptied there ana
go to New York to shop / remember
when the cars turned out of Newark ave-
nue. into Grove street, and thence thrG-~1
Wayne street. When the cars began 70
run through the main thoroughfare both
WAYS. it made a vast difference New
ark avenue should be made wider, but |
do not think we can have it w1dened now.
1t would cost the city too much. l tnlnk
that if we could get the lines that ave
been proposed it would make a decided
Improvement in our business. .Now's our
chance. [ nave heard that the two COM
panies are now practically one. Now IS
the time to see Mr.. Shaniey, MT. YOUNG
and the other men at the head OIL the
concern. We ma be able to get tnese
changes. Something must be done, as at
present we nave to make the sternest OF
efforts in order to keep the trade mere:
ssAE we want is a fair chance, sala
Mr. F,lrst. .sIf we can get the people to
look at us it is our fault II we 90 not
get them for customers.
There was further discussion and then
the committee to wait upon the tractlon
officers was appointed. There was some
discussion on the asphalt question, ana a
resolution to have a committee OF nye d
pointed to wait on the Mayor and street
and Water Commissioners, but 1T was
finally decided to lay the matter over
until the next meeting

Jersey City Man Making Money
with a Hotel at Ponce.

= One of the first young men to drop INTO
Ponce after Spain had been drubbe was
George f. Beck, the enterprising son-ln-
law of Finance Commissioner JACOB
RingIe. Mr.. Beck wanted money, and
with consent of his father-in-law he went
to Ponce to take a chance" After look
ing over the ground pretty carefully he
decided to open a hotel. This mofning
Mayor Hoos was surprised and pleased to
receive a letter from Mr.. Beck. A part OF
the letter was as follows
To the Hon. Mayor HoosI am the
zeal proprietor of this hotel and am
doing well. If luck stays by me l shall
come home a rich man. Wishing you
a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year, etc. -,
Mr.. Beck has christened his hotel the
sAstor House 1t is located at NO. II
Marian street, Ponce, Porto Rico. It is
the recognized American headquarters.
Mr.. Beck is not only patronized by the
Americans but he has a monopoly OF the
busines of the. former occupants OF the
town. He is gathering in the sheckels at
a lively rate, and with true American IN
stinct is banking them:
Mr.. Beck also sent Mayor Hoos a copy
of the San a News" which is printed
in English.

and require actions to be brought
on ALL who have drawn fees illeg-
ally and not discriminate. AS yet
the county commissioners have not
authorized any action to be brought,
and such commenced by the Prose-
cutor could not be maintained un-
der the law, unless authorized by
the county commissioners or by an
investigating commission as above
referred to.
In conclusion l will say that
there is no doubt but that money
has been unlawfully paid out Of the
county treasury, which can be re.
covered If twenty tax payers will
say that they want 1t done by sign
ing a petition to the court. Now,
would suggest as matter of justice
that the responsibility for failure
to promptly prosecute lays with
the people first, and the county
commissioners second, and If the
people are not willing TO exercise
their rights let them forever &C.
quiesce in this grasping of all In
sight by our trusted representa-
tives, whom we have elevated tC
those positions of honoi and trust
To take action is: First, a peti
tion by twenty taxpayers; second
an investigation by commission
and charges filed; third, prosecu
tion OF those charges by the Prose
cutting Attorney.

Illegal Fees.

During the past few months the
newspapers OF the county have been
saying considerable concerning the
drawing of illegal fees by county
officers and have constantly been
insisting that some action be taken
by the Prosecuting Attorney to re.
cover said fees into the county
treasurer. Now, as one who be.
lieves In fair play, l would suggest
that these same papers should
make known to the tax payer his
rights In this matter and then let
the responsibility for any failure TO
prosecute rest where IL properly
belongs.
The law says that II twenty cit
izens and tax payers want an in
