which was read:
WOODBURY., N. J. Sept II, 1900.
TO Jeffrey Baton, Chairman of the Street
Committee, and President and Members Of
Council
GENTLEMEN: This will give you notice
that the accumulation OF water On the
streets by defective cutters and low grades
has caused heavy washouts again on my
| footpaths and passage way on Cooper street, |
near the stone bridge This damage has
been caused by very heavy rains and neglect
of Council TO put the street in proper order,
and continues to wash out, as before stated. |
! Therefore, I shall expect Council to imme
diately put said footpath and passage way
in good shape. At the same time, / would |
state that the water collected on Broad |
street and Center street is thrown down on
Green avenue and there is no provision for
taking it away Cutters are filed up with |
high weeds and grass, thus causing heavy |
damage to our pavements, which are laid
according to grade We would suggest
that those cutters be cleaned out and proper
facilities made to carry off the water thrown
on that street. Council has failed to pro-
vide for the immense accumulation of the
city's water on that street.
l consider this a legal notice, as 1 will
not hereafter bear the expense until the
streets are put in shape.
Yours respectfully,
G. G. GREEN.
The same was received and ordered fled.
Then Dir. Batten said he did not know
whose business it was TO fill up these
washouts, the city's, county's or Mr..
Green's He thought the inlets, which are
too small, We're put in by the county.
After discussion, Mr.. Best moved to refer
the matter to the Street Committee to confer
with the Freeholders and remedy the
matter.
A bin Of $500, for fire repairs and Ian
terms, was ordered paid.

Base Ball at Newbold. ;
The game Of base ball last Saturday, be- +
tween the Hamilton A. A., of West Phila- |
delphia, and our home team, though played
in the rain, was one of the best Of the
season. This was the third contest between
these clubs, the first being won by~the /
Hamiltons by score Of Is to 6, and the i
other two by the home club. The Hamil- !
tons are about the best all-around players /
that have played here this season, and gen /
tlemen in every respect. G
A game viii be played on Saturday, Sept.
10, between Gloucester and the Westville- !
Newbold club, the proceeds for the benefit |
of the players of the home club, who have |
given the patrons of base ball as fine exli- t
billions of clean, honest, snappy ball play {
ing as any amateur team in the country.
They have played eighteen games and won i
fourteen of them-a record of which we :
feel proud, and it is hoped that the game of t
Saturday next which win probably close {
the season, will be well patronized, as the !
boys certainly deserve liberal audience. !
Following is the score of Saturdays {
