PACIFIC AVENUE BRIDGE
CORPORATION Counsel McDer-
mott Says City Can't
Hurry the Work.

In spite of repeated endeavors on the
part of the Street and Water Commission
ers to hasten the progress of the work
at the Pacific avenue bridge over the Nor
ris Canal they have been unable TO do
anything. 1t occurred to the Commission
ers to ask Corporation Counsel McDer-
motifs opinion as to methods 70 pursue
to compel the contractor to "get a move
on The opinion came this morning, ana
here it Isl
Jersey City, Tune IA, 1899.
To the Honorable the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners
Gentlemen-In the matter of the COM
pletion of the bridge over the Morris
Canal, at Pacific avenue. I have to adj
wise you h your Board is without any
power to hasten said completion. The
contract for that bridge was made by
the Board Of Chosen Freeholders ana
the matter is entirely within their 1urls-
diction. I am informed by the counsei
of the Board. Mr.. Griffin, that the delay
has been caused by the inability OF the
contractor to obtain a delivery of the
necessary iron and that the bridge cam
not be completed before the latter part
of August. OF course, the Board of Cho-
sen Freeholders is bound to construct TINS
bridge, and if they refused to do so the
Court would enjoin action on their part
but as 1t is evident that the delay is
not the fault of the Board of Freehold
ers. and that the bridge will be COM
Melted before the next term of the SUI
preme Court, nothing can be done by the
city to hasten such completion.
Respectfully,
ALLAN T.. McDERMOTT,
CORPORATION Counsel.

III COVE LAND
Tation Counsel Sends
Board of Works
His Opinion Of It's
Status"
A MAY USE PROPERTY
GARD Considering Schemes
For the Development
of the Tract
MAY USE PROPERTY

CORPORATION Counsel Allan d.. McDer-
mott this morning. sent to the boaro y
Street and Water Commissioners ms
opinion respecting the status OF the
South Cove grant, what the city fisaeS
were and generally should anu
could be done towards making the prop
erty of use to the city. The opinion is as
follows:-
.The nronerty included in the grant of
the State to the Mayor and Aldermen OF
Jarsav civ known as the South Cove
grant. is now within the possession OF Inc
city, and the city may proceed 10 use
that property in such way as may be
determined for the best public interests.
There is considerable filling within the
Grant which was placed there ILLEGALLY
before the determination of the city
title. This filling is a nuisance winch
should be abated.
Your honorable Board passed a resotu-
ton drawn by me some time g direct
ing the Assistant Corporation Attorney
to take steps for such abatement, ana tne
then Assistant Corporation Attorney anu
his successor are taking such steps
1T will not be necessary for the city
to wait for a decision in this suit winch
may be obtained only after protraeted
LITIGATION before proceeding TO utilize the
grant.
IF your honorable Board will deter
min wha you desire to do with the
grant, 1 will be pleased to specifically
state to you whether that which you de-
sire to do can be DONE"
The Street and Water Commissioners
are in some doubt as to what to do, and
to form some plan of action They will
confer either today or next week. There
are many schemes talked of for the de-
velopment of the grant. Some sugse't
dredging out the basin. and building
docks to the hanuel Others talk Of
filling in and leasing the tract to railroad
corporations.
The Board however is IN earnest about
doing something towards deriving some
benefit from the lands and in a day or
two will make their plans public.

CAUSE OF FIRE UNKNOWN
Destructive Blaze Seems
to Have Had No
Origin.

A destructive and mysterious fire
broke out about half-past five this MORN
ing in a house at No. s Oswego street,
which IS occupied by Mrs. Rebecca john
son. Mrs. johnson was at Asbury Park
at the time and the only occupant was
William Claimant, a ledger, who mar
rowly escaped beinb s~uffocated.
When Chaumant woke up the house, Il
~three-story frame building, was filled
with smoke. Hastily grabbing his
clothes, he rushed out into the rear yard,
shouting 'Firei" at the same time slip
ping on his clothing.
A citizen passing heard the cries, and
sent in an alarm from a box at Johnston
avenue and Grand street, about a block
away from the scene. The interior of the
house was a mass of flames when the
fremen of No. 10 engine on Halliday
street arrived. No. 5 hook and ladder
company was on the scene a few seconds
later.
The front door Of the basement and the
doors On the first floor were smashed in.
Two streams were turned on, but the men
had hard work getting at the blaze be-
cause of the dense smoke. The fire
seemed to be in the entire of the house,
uiiuef the stairway ieaulnB from the IrSl
floor to the basement. It took almost an
hour to extinguish the flames. The stair
cases leading to both floors were entirely
consumed. as were the Railways, closets
and furniture in the basement and on the
top floor. Almost every article of furni-
ture in the house was either ruined by fire
or water.
The blaze broke out again two hours
after it was supposed to have been ex-
tinguished. The hose cart of No. 10 paid
a second visit to the fire. which was dis
posed of in a minute. The blaze broke
out in a pile of rubbish in the basement.
Battalion Chief Hogan said that the
fire must have originated in a closet I'M
der the basement stairs.
Chaumont, the lodger, says he knows
nothing about the fire.

TEARING UP TRACKS.

Armed with the authority of the Board

tect the citv's employees from Interior
ence, Captain Cody and a squad of police
from the First Precinct were on hand
The railroad company and others who
have been trespassers on this land were
taken bv surprise and there was little
or no opposition. A crowd of onlookers
were there and INDUCED in wild jokes at
the expense of the men.

the partly destroyed walls are liable to
fall at any time, and that he had instruct

Bricks and portions of the old tin roof

The residents of Gator avenue say that
the rear walls should be pulled down,
the only way of removing the existing
danger.
