Jersey City, n. J.. Jan 7, 1899.
Honorable Board of Aldermen
Gentlenen-I herewith return to your
Honorable Board, without M approval.
a resolution passed at your meeting of
December q, 1883, and presented to me
for my approval December 81, 1898, and
of which the enclosed is a certified copy:
l have taken this action for the follow
ing reasons
This resolution, as I am inform
ed. if carried into effect, contemplates
the erection of a stable. Furthermore,
this stabl is not intended merely for
private use, to which there could be no
serious objection, but is intended as a
public stable and place for the storage of
wagons. I consider a building of this
character in a strictly private residential
neighborhood, and that in the heart of
the city, a serious detriment to surround
ing property. Fires are very apt to
bre * out in such stables and people liv-
ing in houses adjoining would fear, night
and day, for the safety of their lives
and property. In addition to these vital
objections. the natural, constant taking
out and in of wagons, with the attendant
noise, would prove a ceaseless source of
~nnoyanc to people living in the imme-
date vicinity. Moreover, a number of
property owners have filed a protest
against the granting of the permit for
said building, and as their objections are
well founded, | feel it my duty to recog-
nize the same and must withhold my ap-
prevail from his resolution.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD HOGS, Mayor.
P. S.-Enclosed find copy of protest.
