FINANCIERS DISPLEASED.
Commissioners Visit Numer-
Gus Places and Find
Plenty of Fault.

Finance Commissioners Ringle, Midlige
and Lembeck yesterday made an inspec-
tion of proposed High School sites They
also visteg7 number of public school
houses with a view to ascertaining the
extent of repairs necessary; the proposed
site for the new fire house in the Twelfth
Ward, the site for the new police sta
tion at Central avenue and Hutton street
and the proposed site for viaduct al
the foot of Hutton street -
The Commissioners found NO. %
School in deplorable condition: It IS
located at Zabriskie street and the Bou-
levard, and was built only about six or
seven years ago The bricks are even
falling out of the walls. Finance Com
missioner Ringle says the city was great
ly defrauded in it's construction.
The Commissioners are pleased, with tie
proposed site for the new firehouse. at
Boulevard and Lincoln street. but say
was ascertained the property was want
ed by the city that it is doubtful II they
will make the appropriation for its pur-
chase.
A peep was, taken the proposed site
for the park In Hudson City along Ogden
avenue, overlooking the bluff The Com
missioners are not pleased with it, and
Mr.. Ringle declares the city would be
throwing money away to purchase it for
park purposes.
Nor did they go into ecstasties over the
idea of the proposed viaduct at the foot
of Bowers street to land in Sixth street,
,Hoboken. They look upon it as too costly
for the amount of money required to con-
struct 1T, considering the amount of good
to be obtained. and think that it would
really benefit Hoboken more than it would
this city.

Yesterday afternoon the agents OF the
Central Railroad Company held a long

plish that purpose. In the meantime the

WON'TTAKE THE CHALLENGE
Landrine Says Anti-Ringsters
Will Let Leaders Manage
Fall Campaign.

Mr. John P. Landrine, the leader of the
anti-ring forces in the Ninth ward said
yesterday in reference to the attempts of
the Organization Committee to solidify
the forces of the Republican party in this
county, that he understands the present
so-called leaders are insinuating that
Others are welcome to jump in and at
tempt to harmonic the forces.
'If such remarks are meant as chal-
lenges," said he, they will not be needed.
I suppose those people who have succeed
ed in bringing about the present state of
affairs in what was at one time well
organized and prosperous party, would
like very much to have others step in
just now, but short time previous to
the fall campaign and handle the reins
of the party. Well, you may say that no
one from our side cares to handle things
at present.
Il would not touch the task before this
election. There is mot enough time in
which to accomplish anything, and just
think what the present leaders would do
to new man. His throat would be cut
before he knew where he was at. Let
them go ahead with their work. I am too
busy with my business to bother with
politics. This last remark was made
with smile to be taken with the pro-
verbal grain of salt.

MURPHY'S
QUEER LAW.
Says the People Who Com
planned Should Have
Been Detained.
SCORES ROUHDSMAN DRIscoLL
The Officer is the Only One
Who Will Suffer Says
the Chief.

Chief of Police Murphy this morning
preferred charges against Roundsman
John Driseoll of the Oakland avenue sta
ton for failing to obey the. rules OF the
department in an important matter. On
Sunday night, while Driscoll was in
charge of the station two young women,
accompanied by man, entered and
complained that policeman had assault
ed one of the women at the foot of Ho-
boken avenue.
Policeman James Murray, who covers
the Toboken avenue post, happened 70
enter the station while the strangers
were making their complaint. Rounds
man Driscoll pointed to him and. said:-
.sThis is the officer covering that post.
Did you see him down that way"
NO" said the young woman, that
Roundsman Driscoll took the complaint
and the names and addresses the com
plainants gave him. The names given
were:-John Cannon, No. " chestnut
avenue; Mary Callahan, No. 173 Palisade
avenue, and Josephine Smith, No. 4S
Cornelison avenue.
When the matter was reported to Ghief
Murphy he detailed Detectives Hottie
and Keenan, to find the complainants.
The detectives visited the addresses
given but could find no traces. OF the
persons who appeared at the police sta
ants at any of the addresses given.
Search was made throughout the entire
neighborhood without result. At No. 113
Palisade avenue the police learned that
a Mary Callahan did washing there but
she was locked up and it was found
that she was not the woman who called
at the station. Detectives Hottie and
Keenan, went to Passaic yesterday and
looked up young woman who formerly
resided at the Palisade avenue house,
only to be disappointed again.
Hottie and keenan,, accompanied by
Roundsman Driscoll, visited Caledonian
Park, last night Driscoil pointed out a
young man he was certain was the NAH
who gave the name of Cannon. He also
identified young girl as one of the wom-
en- who accompanied the alleged Cannon.
They were taken to the Oakland avenue
station, where they were examined by
Police Captain Farrier and Chief Muir
ply. Chief Murphy was satisfied after
the examination that Driscoll was mis-
taken in his Identification. He was pro-
fuse in his apologies to the man and
woman.
Chief Murphy said this morning:-'It
was clearly the duty of Driscoll In case
where such serious charge was made
to hold the complainants until a. thorough
investigation could be made. If he had
even notified his Captain and waited for
Instructions from him he would have been
held blameless. He thought he knew it
all, however and bungled the whole
business. The only man who will be af-
fected by it is DriScoll himself

PLEASED wIfH ERICKSON.
Lafayette R..idsnt. Thank Him for
improvements.

Lafayette residents are pleased with the
change made in No. 10 Engine House, due
to the untiring efforts of Commissioner
John Erickson. "a second horse has been
added to the big hose wagon, which
heretofore. wasY too heavy for single
horse to drag with any speed The ad-
dition was masie the latter part of last
week. Insted Of carrying 750 feet Of hose,
1000 feet of that material is now piled on
the wagon BESIDES supplying. hose for
two ordinary Steamers, portion OF q
hose carried on No. 10 wagon can be used
by other COMPANIES. Not only Is the the
change beneficial in that respect, but far
greater speed is made with the two
horses.
chine shops at Washington street and
Johnston avenue, Saturday night, de-
monstrated that the charge was good
one In ten minutes from the time the
alarm reached the engine house on Hal
laday street, near Communipaw avenue
a stream was lbeing played on the burn
riage was wholly responsible for this.
Captain C. Jobes and Commissioner
Erickson are greatly pleased with the
charge.

The ERIE DEPRESSION.
Complaining Citizens Went
Away Pleased With the
City's Plans.

The Street and Water Board this MORN
ing gave hearing on the proposed
change of grade for the depression OF
Grove street under the elevated structure
of the Erie Railroad. When the depres-
sion of the streets at this point COM
menced it was intended to make five
per cent. grade from Tenth to Eleventh
streets. The steep declivity raised more
or less of howl from interested prop
erty owners. The previous administration
lad entered into contract NTH Wltn the ss,ob Ere
grade. Sidewalks were included in the
cut.
The city, according to contract. was i. to Q
depression, but the Railroad Company IS
the present administration has establish,
now doing it at its own expense, and
ed a two and one-half per cent. grade
This means that the depressions VIII
commence half way between Ninthg ana
Tenth streets and half way between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets, instead OF
commencing almost abruptly at Tenth
and Eleventh streets.
The sidewalks are to remain on the same
grade they have always been. On the four
corners of Grove and Tenth and Eleventh
streets semi-circular granite steps are TO
run up from the depressed roadway 70
the sidewalks. Plans have already pee, neeh
made for the new grade and Chlef Engl-
neer Van Keuren had them on exhibition
this morning.
But four property owners appeared at
the hearing this morning and after IN IN
went aWay greatly relieved in mind and
happier than they have been for many
days.
The four property owners present this
morning were:-Henry Gloss, northeast
corner of Grove and Eleventh streets;
William Colligan, No. 554 Grove street;
Mrs. O'Brien, No. 5s1 Grove street. and
Mrs. Cosgrove. No. $50 Grove street.
THE Commissioners listened atteutively
to al flour. showed them the. new plans,
