i publication in The Jersey City News Of
notice of application for ten restaurant
nineteen transfer of restaurant and trans.
fer Of inn and tavern licenses from May
to ID, 1902, and the same was received
and ordered filed.
The following communication from His
Honor the Mayor was peresented, received
and laid upon the table,
Jersey City. n. j., April 80. 1902.
To the Honorable the Board of Aldermen
of Jersey City,
Gentlemen-I return herewith. without
my approval resolution of your Honora-
BILE Board. passed on April q, 1902, au-
thorizing the Building Inspector to issue
permit for the erection of two-story
| frame building, 25x100 and 80 feet high, at
159 Newark avenue for Fl. Kupferberg.
for the reason that believe the time has
/ come when the main thoroughfares of this
city should not be lined with frame build
ings.
1t is not necessary for me to suggest
the many reasons therefor. as they are
4 patent to everybody and were unquestion-
ably considered when the ordinance was
passed prohibiting the Building Inspector
from granting permits for the erec-
tion of such buildings without the
| passage of a resolution therefor by your
Board. Newark avenue is our moss
| prominent business thoroughfare and the
| property owners and merchants on the
| said avenue are demanding that large
Sums OF money be spent In its improve
/ do not think that the erection OF
| buildings of the character referred 10 N
! your resolution will tend to the perma-
nent Improvement of the avenue. Prop
erty ve1res are certainly high enough
there TO warrant the erection of substan-
tisi structures.
The eo..t.nued erection Of such build
irgs VT. have a tendency to increase the
fire rates.
There can be no inducements to the
| property owners TO erect large and sub
stan. tai buildings if permits are to be
granted to next door neighbors to erect
! structures of this kind.
have determined not to permit, as far
as can prevent, the granting OF such
permits affecting any of the active bus-
ness thoroughfares of our city.
Respectfully submitted
MARK NJ. F'AGAN.
/ Mayor.
