He VOTE ON THE FaEEHoLDEa ACT
West New York the Only Township
That Was Against It.

North Bergen and weehawken alone
voted on the question of the adoption or
rejection of the McDermott F'reeholder
act at the election of November 6, at the

Board which will assume office on De-
cember 8.

passed the Legislature. The act had been
practically adopted by the vote of the
other municipalities of the county at last
springs election. but the vote could not
be officially canvassed and the result an

batch of sixty indictments in minor Jail
and bail cases the Court asked if there
were any other matters requiring the
further consideration of the Grand Jury.
"Your Honor. We have attended to all
matters laid before US by the Prosecutor
and know of no reason why we should
not now be discharged for the term' re-
piled Foreman Smith.

thoroughly to all matters laid before them
by me and know of no reason why their
request for a discharge should not be
granted said Prosecutor Erwin.
Judge Blair said:-'It is a matter of
much qualification to the Court that this
Grand Jury has attended to the county's
criminal business so expeditiously and the
thanks of the Court and county are due
to you for your faithful performance of

granted
The members of the Grand Jury then

dollars and quarters are in circulation in
Hoboken. The coins are good limitations

been unusually successful in rounding UP
showers of the queer. They have received
few complaints of the latest spurious
coins because none of the shopkeepers has
been swindled to any great extent by
them. Small losses are general, however,

Grand Streets Condition.

Passengers who have occasion to ride on
the Balonne and Newark cars are COM
planning bitterly of the filthy condition of

dirty that the patrons of trolley cars are
actually covered with dirt and dust after
trip up or down that street. 1t is i'm
possible to stand on the rear platform of
car with comfort. The flying dust
chokes the unfortunate passengers and
even finds its way into the car to the dis
comfort of all passengers.
