VICE PRESIDENT BISHOP TALKS
says the MR. 8 K. Company Will Not Heed
the Action Of the Council

says the M.R. q *. Company Will MOT Heed
the Action of the Council,
Vice President Bishop of the NJ. R.
& Z. was in the city yesterday after
noon, and in speaking of the recent
action of the City Council in repeating
the street railway franchise, ne said
that the action of both or either
Council would in no way make any
changes in their plans. He said that
the company had made a contract
with the city, and had begun the full
flllment of their part of the contract,
and they had no fears but that the
courts of the state and county would
recognize their rights and allow them
to construct the road under the fran
chise recently granted. Mr.. Bishop
further stated that the work of build
ing the line had not been delayed by
any action of the Council, but the
company had not begun work on ac-
count of the fact that they had not as
yet made all the arrangements neces-
sary for the opening of the new street
by which the road will enter the city.
These arrangements will probably be
completed tomorrow, and after this the
work of building will be begun at once.
IN regard to the publication of the
ordinance the vice president said that
| if the clerk was unwilling TO have the
document published he would obtain q
special order from ex-Mayor Petit and
have the ordinance published at the
Expense of the company. Mr.. Bishop
simply laughed at the action of the
new Council in passing repeating
ordinance, and stated that they had
positively nothing to say in regard to
the question, as the ordinance had
| been signed and delivered before any
of them took the oath of Office. Mr..
Bishop said that he hoped that there
would be no trouble between the city
and the company over the building o.
the line, and if trouble should arise il
would be wholly the fault of the city
and the city must be responsible for the
results. The company, continued Mr.
Bishop, have labored for four years tC
secure this franchise, and it would bt
extremely foolish in us to give up the
advantages we have gained through
the action of the old Council.

Engineer Whalen, of the United

work of the northeast sea has been
very noticeable during the year. Ac
cording to the soundings just COM
pleted the governing depth Of the
channel is but 145 feet. In some
places the depth is somewhat greater,
but the greatest depth found was but
