when prepared as aforesaid, to the Court
Of Errors and Appeals, on the argument
of said case before said Court.
His Honor, the Mayor declined to ap-
prove these resolutions, but they became
effective. 1t does not need argument to
show that the resolutions do not contain
any direction to limit the presentation Of
the city's case to the, fling Of book
which the author had distinctly said
twas prepared for reference in the
course of an oral argument and therefore
does not adequately present the city's
case Yet the records show that this
book is the only argument presented to
the Court of Errors and Appeals of Jer-
sey City. The railroad companies replied
to it with extensive brief above men,
toned. 1t was the right of the city to
present the closing argument, but this
right was absolutely abandoned, and the
case is now in the hands of the Court
without any attempt to answer the argu-
ments advanced by counsel for the rail
road companies. In presenting these
facts, your committee regrets that the
power to take further action is not COM
mittee to your board.
