GROVE STREET PAVEMENT


A suit to recover a portion of the
amount paid for the paving of Grove
street at the point of the Erie track ele-
walton. brought in the name Of Jersey
City against the North Hudson County
Railway Company, was heard before JUS
tice Collins in the Supreme Court this
morning.
Although Jersey City was the nominal
plaintiff the suit had really been brought
by the Erie Railroad Company, which was
represented by Lawyer Charles Corbin.
Ex-senator William D. Edwards who
appeared for the defence, contended that
the trolley company had paved the street
between IT'S tracks ana for Is inches on
either side in 1881, and that this paving
was in good conditionwhen Grove. street
was depressed for the purpose OF giving
sufficient clearance to allow the elevation
Of the Erie tracks He accordingly in
sisted that the trolley company could not
be compelled to again pave between Its
tracks.
Justice Collins reserved decision.

ari to Review Tax Assessment.
Judge Abel l. Smith. representing the
Flower Hill Cemetery Company. this
mroning applied to Justice Collins for a
writ of certiorari to review the action of
Assessor Joseph Kennel Of North Bergen
In imposing taxes to the amount of $1,000
on certain cemetery property which the
company claims is exempt under the law.
BY agreement of counsel argument on the
application was postponed until next Sat-
urday
1t appears that the cemetery company
last spring appealed to the State Board
of Taxation to be relieved Of the taxes
imposed The question was argued for
the township by Counselor J. Emil Wal
scheid. who insisted that If the property
was legally exempt the proper course of
procedure would have been for the ceme-
terry company to make application to the
assessor, filing affidavits to show for
what purposes the land was used. He in
sisted that the failure to do this made
the company liable to taxation. The
State Board was divided on the question
and no decision was reached.
The company's side of the case was not
told in court and will not be until next
Saturday.

sTRAws SHOW THE WIND
Retting Even Marks What the Re-
suits of the Election Will Be.


Inseparable with an election is betting
and the sport instinct" crops out among
the staidest of men. Whatever some may
find fault with the axiom, Put up OF
shut up,'' it is invincible, particularly
when there are ultra-positive men around,
and there is a well of force behind 1t.
Today a number of well known men were
lunching in the Imperial Cafe, when an
other number of citizens came in. As men
do they talked politics. One rash indi-
vidual, a lawyer, who is perpetual thorn
in the Republican party's side for office,
exclaimed in a loud voice, to impress all
the strangers present.
II know what is going on in my ward
and tell you that will bet any money
that Pagan will be the next Mayor of
Jersey City,
Every head turned. No one said any
thing but thought a great deal of the
combined rudeness and rashness of the
challenge It was repeated and mem
Der of the Finance Board of this city who
heard it rose and, walking over to Mr..

THAT FIRE HOUSE SITE
Erickson Says the Fire Board
Will Stick to It's
Choice.

Fire Commissioner John Erickson de-
Tended the selection Of the Johnston ave-
nue. site for a new firehouse in an in
terview last evening. An appropriation
was granted for the establishment OF g
new company, the funds to be paid by
| the first of December. A site on john
ston avenue, adjacent to No 10 School,
was recommended by the Commissioners
and Mayor Hoos vetoed the choice, on
the ground that the engines would en-
danger the lives Of the school children,
The matter now rests with the Board Of
Finance.
II consider that Johnston avenue site
the best one In that section for the guar
tiers Of new company, said Commits
sioner Erickson. Not only is It reason
able. but the location could not be better.
There are two other sites which have
been men toned and these are more ex-
pensive than the one we selected, The
price is 1900 The argument that the
school Is too close is ridiculous. What dc
the people say to No, s Truck on Wayne
street. which is around the corner from
No. 8 School? This school has twice the
number Of pupils that No. 19 has. No.
10 Engine on Halliday street is not far
from No. % School, which is on the same
street.
The men would be instructed to go slow
until the school was passed If children
were about. The horses would be going
slow at any time while near the school,
for no speed could be developed in such
short space. The danger OF accident
is reduced to minimum. I would not
have the engine located on Grand street.
That thoroughfare is always crowded and
no progress could be made We have two
trucks, Nos / and 5, on streets where
trolley tracks are, and there is no end
of trouble. Is it not better to have the
horses going slow near school than to
have them going at full speed, IS would
be the case If the engine was located at
any distance from the school? The loca-
tion of an engine near the school would
mean additional safety to the pupils and
building We selected the site and we
stand for it,
In speaking Of the department in gem
eral, the Commissioner emphasized the
necessity Of additional appropriations for
the claims department. Lack of funds
kept improvements back and these were
very much needed at present.
7 shall have third horse on No.
Truck, said he, for it is needed badly.
In fact all of our tenders should have
two horses. It is necessary that the ten
ders should always keep up to the en-
gine.

FIREMAN's DUTY HOURS
Justice Collins Decides the
Scott Case in City's Favor,
But Says Plaintiff May
Win On Appeal.

Whether fireman, like a policeman.
always on duty was the question at issue
in the suit of Mrs. Barbara Scott against
Jersey City. which was tried before JUS
tice Collins in the Supreme Court yester-
day afternoon.
| Mrs Scott's suit was to recover $sz5
under the firemen's pension act of 1887
The plaintiff is the widow of Fireman
William c. Scott. who was a member Of
No Engine Company of Jersey City and
who was killed by being thrown from a
car while going to his dinner At the
time of his death he wore his fremans 5
uniform.
The law provides that when a fireman
of a paid department shall be badly in
jured or killed while in the performances
Of or attempting to discharge his duties,
his wife shall receive from the munich
pality one-half of the amount of his sal
ary at the time of his DEATH
Scott met his death in March. 1900. and
year later his widow demanded the pay
ment of $475, which was one-half of his
annual salary. The city refused to pay
the claim on the ground that Scott was
not discharging his duty while he was
going to dinner. The suit was then in
stituted.
The plaintiffs counsel, Chandler W
Riker and William L. Edwards of New
ark. produced evidence to show that q
fireman while going to and fro to his
meals was not relieved from duty. but
would be obliged to respond to an alarm
even If at meal.
Captain Quinn. of the engine company
to which Scott belonged. testified that =
meal hour could not be construed as =
leave of absence; that the charter Of Jer-
sey City states that fireman shall de-
vote his entire attention to his duties.
Justice Collins refused to put such =
broad construction on the act, although
admitting that it meant more than being
injured or killed while actually at fire.
He directed that verdict be returned for
the defendant at the same time expressing
the belief that the plaintiff had an excel
lent fighting chance in the Court OF Ey-
rors and Appeals. as there were many
delicate questions as issue
An appeal will be taken

SNAKE HILL WATER SUPPLY
City Sues the Freeho1ders for

The suit Of Jersey City against the
Board Of Freeholders to recover $7,e4s. 20
for water furnished the county institu-
tions at Snake Hill, was aired before JUS
tice Collins in the Supreme Court this
morning. County Attorney Alexander
Young pointed out that the city's claim
included interest at 10 per cent. month
while the legal rate OF interest was but
6 per cent. ! year. He therefore argued
that the county did not owe the amount
claimed.
City Attorney John wahl Queen insist
ed that as the rate Of interest to be
charged on unpaid water bills was fixed
by the charter as we'll as by the rules Of
this beard Of Street and Water Commits
sioners the city had the right to demand
the payment Of the amount specified IN its
claim.
