FRANK HIGGINS EXPLAINS.
Talked After the Republican Ma
chine COMMITTEE on Legislature me- 1

After the meeting of the Republican
machine Committee on Legislation, on
Wednesday night, which was reported in
Yesterdays News" Mr.. Frank Higgins,
chairman of the committee, relieved his
mind as follows:-
.sWe desire" he said, 'to ave the poll
books filed with the County Board Of
Elections and not locked up in the ballot
boxes as at present. Unde the present
arrangement the boxes cannot be opened
except on an order from a Supreme Court
Judge. This involves a great deal of ex-
pense. If the books were filed with the
Board of Elections, where they could be
seen by anybody ii there was any sus-
picion of illegal voting, the books could
be examined and the entries verified.
Then if fraud was found a recount could
be asked for. The change would also
makes the poll books public records. They
would be preserved. where now they are
destroyed before the next election.
w will also introduce an amendment
compelling the boards Of registry to ask
Zach man who registers if he is a legal
the State and how long he has lived in
the county, also if he registers with the
intention of voting. At present there IS
scarcely any way of convicting a man OF
Illegal registration. If a man is arrested
he says hat he merely followed a crowd
into the place of registry, a man asked
him his name-he did not know what for
and he gave it to him. The boards sat
present ask no questions. We also want
the County Board of Elections to canvass
all the elections in the county and print
the returns for free distribution
w want the County Collector to pay
for all election services on warrants from
the County Board of Elections. AT pres
ent the election officers are paid by the
Board of Freeholders. The result is that
the Democratic officers are paid and the
Pnnl1hlioap nc ara NOT The R~annhlicln
officers have not yet been paid for their
services at the last election"

West Hoboken. and the chairman Of the
township committees Of Harrison, Kears
ny, Gutenberg, Weehawken, Town OF
Union, Union Township and North Ber-
gen, a commission to inquire into the ex-
pediency OF consolidating the various
municipalities.
Mr.. King has a bill in for. creating an
excise commission which relates to this
city. 1t provides that the commission
shall consist of. three persons to be APP
pointed by the Mayor, two only to be OF
the same political party, and confirmed
by the governing body of the city. They
shall. hold office three years and receive
a salary NOT to exceed $3.50 per year.
A measure by Mr.. Jones of Essex. which
applies to Jersey City, authorizes the Dor
rowing of money by municipalities in an
ticipation of the collection Oh taxes and
assessments. Should this become a law
Mr.. Hoos can have no further objections
to signing temporary loan bonds.
In the Senate Mr.. Pitney haS a meas
ure. providing that whenever lp n city,
according to the preceding State census
the population Of any ward shall exceed
that of three other wards combined, tine
Common Council shall by ordinance redls-
trict the city into wards without lncreas-
ing the total number. 1t will thus be
seen that ever at this early day jersey
City is well taken care of in the Leglsla-
ture, but how many of these measures
will become laws is another matter.

game had been extensively advertised.
The league finally decided to postpone the
game for a month.

THAI OLD TIME STORY.

There are three clocks in the Green
vile police station, and if anyone can
tell the right time by any of them, he is
a wonder. Last evening, the clock in
the Captains room struck half past nine,
the electric clock behind the desk, said
twenty nine minutes after, the large
clock with q sign bearing the words,
correct city time said twenty eight
minutes after.
(which of the three is right?" asked a
scribe of Roundsman Engles.
Neither" he replied, and pulling out
his watch, said ~.'twenty-seven minutes
after the hour"

WILL FORCE COUNTY TO PAY.
Veto of Resolution Ordering Pay.
ment of $4,000 Sent to Financisrs

Mayor Hoos sent in he following vet
yesterday to the Board of Finance in re
gard to the resolution ordering paymen
of 5000 to the County Collector of lake
for 1855
/ herewith return to your Honorable
Board without my approval, a resolu-
ton passed at you meeting held Janu-
airy 25. / hav taken this action for
the following reason:-I do not think
that the city should pay money to the
county when the county is persistently
behind in her payment of monies due
the city. The city is thereby put to
additional expense and inconvenience,
and till the city is paid what is her
due, / shall refuse to sign any resolu-
ions of this nature There are some
laborers, for example, in our water de-
partment who have not received any
pay for the last six months, and no
doubt the county's action towards
city in neglecting to pay her water
bills is in a large measure responsible
for this condition of affairs. The city
must meet her bills promptly the
county should do likewise.
This veto is Of a resolution ordering
the payment of $50, 600 to Hugh Dugan
on account of 1898 taxes.
