the Portsmouth Lies With
the Appropriation.

Lieutenant Commander Mclean, of the
Battalion of the East, New Jersey Naval
Reserves, appeared before the Hoboken
Tax Commissioners yesterday afternoon
and asked that the $500 appropriated by
the board last year to dredge the basin
where the training ship Portsmouth lies,
be reappropriated.
He explained that the Naval Reserves
needed the money for tina purpose. but
were unable to give the matter consider
alton owing, to the fact that they were
kept busy in active service during the late
war. He promised that if the money
were reappropriated active steps would
be taken at once to perform the wor...
The Commissioners were satisfied with
Lieutenant McLeans explanation and
asked him to prepare an estimate of the
actual cost and return it to the board at
the next meeting The board was in Ses-
sion for over three hours discussing the
make up of the new budget.

SHE SAT IN THE HOLE.
How Mrs. Lord Kept a Trolley
Pole From Going Up in Front
of Her House.

The North Jersey Street Railway Com
pany is experiencing more difficulty in
pushing the work on it's proposed Jack
son avenue trolley line. A route for the
western end of the line has not yet been
decided upon, and this alone will delay
the work.
The erection of the iron poles along the
route created little excitement Tues
day. Mrs. Loud of No. So Jackson ave>
nue. refused to allow the gang of men,
under Superintendent Lahey, to erect a
pole in front of her house. The hole had
been dug and the concrete sidewalk rip
ped away, but Mrs. Lord was too quick
for the men, and she jumped In the
hole. She remained there for some time
while the men went on up the street
erecting poles on the way. No attempt
was made to erect the pole after Mrs.
Lord entered her novel protest. She re-
mained on guard for several hours with
two friends, and even now she sits at the
window the greater part of the time
watching her property.
She told reporter of ''The News" this
lowed to erect the pole. She spoke in a
very defiant manner. She said that ex-
Mayor Siedler owned the property ad-
joining hers and that the pole should be
put there.
Mr.. John Reilly, mason, who lives
at No. 40S Jackson avenue, almost op-
posite Mrs. Lord, refused to allow the
men to plant pole in front of his house,
or to even dig hole.
