HoB0KEH'S TAX LEVY.
Justice Lippincott Denies Motion
to Have It Reviewed.

10 nave AZ Et6V19W00s
An application, made some time ago by
Lawyer Weller, for a writ of certiorari
to have the Hoboken tax levy and ap-
for 1S99-1so0 reviewed by the
Supreme Court, was denied by Justice
Lippincott today. Justice Lippincott said:
1t is only necessary to state my con-
clusion on this application. After the
examination presented to me am un-
allow certiorari to interfere with the
appropriations and tax levy of the.
city of Hoboken. I am of the opinion
that the prosecutors are in laches.
to object to the resolution and ordi-
nance fixing the appropriations and
directing the levy of taxes the ap-
plication for certiorari should have
been made as soon as possible after
the action of the Mayor and Council,
and they should not have waited un-
til the actual assessment and con-
firmation of taxes had been made. The
allowance of a writ would delay and
interfere with the conduct of the city.
government to such an extent as to
impair very much the exercise of the
duties of the city officials.
1t seems to me that the questions
presented are of some Importance and
/ should prefer a writ being allowed
so that the matter could be presented
to the Supreme Court. Therefore, the
prosecutors may have leave to renew
their application to the Supreme Court
at the coming term. In order to facili-~
tate the matter will allow the prose-
cutors rule to show cause, return
able at the next term of the Supreme
Court. Upon the hearing on that rule
the prosecutors can use all the ex-
paarte affidavits already taken by
them, supplemented by such affidavits
as the defendants should have under
the rule on two days notice to the
other side. BY doing this in the first
instance an authoritative decision may
be obtained from the Supreme Court
and further delay and litigation be
prevented.

Company's bill of $2S5. 171.64 is the question
uppermost with the city officials in
charge of the water department and in
view of the criticism as to the manage
ment of the water account, Mr.. George T.
Bouton, Clerk to the Street and Water
Board, gave out today statement touch
ing the earnings of that account.
He shows that practically the water
department is self sustaining if sharper
collections were made. To remedy the
present system of making these. Mr..
Bouton suggests that no householder in
arrears for one quarter should be per-
mitted to have any more water until these
arrears have been discharged. To prevent
the inordinate use of water he thinks that
a partial system of metering the water
should be adopted. To meter every house
in the city would be too costly. The fol-
lowing statement he made as to the earn
ings of the water account, which is
sufficiently clear as to need little ex-
planation:-
