Make Any Ap

Contrary to expectations the new
Street and Water Board did not put the
gliilUtine in operation this morning, when
it met in the Assembly chamber Not a
single head dropped. nor was single apr
pointmant made. A big crowd of place
hunters went away disappointed. The
impression gains ground, however, that
scarcely one Democratic employe is 10 he
retained. Despite the fact that Repub-
lican and Pagan Democratic workers are
falling over one another in their efforts
to land positions or jobs President Payne
and other members of the Board declare
the administration will be actuated prin-
cipally in the matter economy, and that
there will be number of positions now
held by employees of the old Democratic
elective Board declared vacant and left
vacant. They say that it is hardly likely
that any further changes win be made
at least before next Tuesday. One of the
Commissioners said that should an em-
ploye be found whose services could be
dispensed with in the meantime he was
likely to be dropped from the pay roll.
The rumor that the Board is seriously
considering the abolishment of the office
-of Water Registrar and placing the col
lection of water rents in the hands of
City Collector Fry was confirmed by
President Payne and Commissioners Con-
molly and Doscher this morning.
The full Board was in session only for
few moments this morning. 1t awarded

rected the Barber Asphalt Paving. Com

DELEGATES
ELECTED.
Democratic Primaries Last
Night Named the 202
Men Who Will Go
to the State Con-
Vention.
HEARST FOLLOWERS QUIET
Prominent Business Men
Amongst Those Chosen
A Very Light Vote.
HEARST FOLLOWERS QUIET


Quietly and without incident Demo
cratic primaries last night were held.
Delegates to the State Convention.
which is to meet in Trenton next Thurs
day, were elected There are two hum
dred and two Of them. They are all or
ganization men.
The threatened opposition of the fol-
lowers Of William R. Hearst did not de-
velop.
A light vote was poIled and very little
interest was manifested by the Demo-
cratic voters
Among the delegates elected are many
prominent business men and officials.
The delegates; represent the Ninth and
Tenth Congressional districts. They will
meet at the Club House of the Robert
Davis Association next Tuesday night
and select two delegates for each of
these districts
Not until they reach Trenton will the
delegates decide on their choice for dele
gates-at-large. Robert Davis is being
urged to stand as one Of the four dele
gates end it may be that he win con-
sent to accept the honor
The delegates will go to Trenton with
out Instructions and it is probable that
the twenty-four delegates to the National
Convention will be unpledged to any can
didate. One thing is certain, however,
and that is that there is no Hearst senti-
ment in New Jersey and that under no
conditions will the New York editor re-
ceive its vote. With Grover Cleveland
out of the race, there seems to be a gen
eral desire on the part of the State De-
mocracy to see Judge Parker of New
York at the head of the ticket.
As the unit rule will prevail, there will
be no split in the delegation to the Ma
tionaI Convsntion and whoever is finally
agreed upon as the choice Of the delega-
ton he will receive the unanimous vote.

an expedient of delay in the interest of
the railroad companies. That. he said,
he understood, was what the Mayors
League was organized to offset.
Mayor Kenny. of East Newark, in-
sisted that what the League considered
was right to fight for in March he con
sidered was right TO fight for in April;
thar what he considered was right to
demand with emphasis on the word de
mandy in March was right to demand
in. April. He didn't believe in begging
the members of the Legislature to do the
right thing by the people, but of de-
manding that they dosso. But the pre-
ponderance of the sentiment as expressed
by the Mayors present, both Democratic
and Republican, was that it was more
diplomatic, at least, to leave the matter
in the hands of the commission appoint
ed by the Governor The vote against
Lankering's resolution stood as follows:
Nays-Bayliss, of Arlington; Ryan, of
Elizabeth; Seamon, of Perth Amboy;
Katzenbach, of Trenton: Van Horn, of
Sussex; Belcher, of Paterson; Reed, of
Morristown; Paul representing Dor
emus, of Newark; Goldberg, of Kearny;
Renis, of Hawthorne, and Fagan, of this
city.
In accordance with a suggestion
thrown out early in the discussion by
Mayor Katzenbach, of Trenton amotion
was carried unanimously to the effect
that the executive committee be instruct
ed to prepare an address urging the
Equal Taxation Commission appointed
by Governor Murphy to take up the sub
ject without any delay. The Trenton
Mayor suggested that the Goyernar
might be induced to call another special
session of the Legislature, but such sug-
gest.on was not embodied in the motion
adopted
During the discussion Mayor Pagan,
president of the League, stated that Jer-
sey City intended to hire experts on the
subject of taxation in an effort to secure
data that would effectually meet the
arguments of any experts in the service
of the railroad companies, and it was
agreed that each municipality should see
that the executive committee of the
League should be supplied with any, in
formation it might need relative to the
comparative valuations or assessments
of railroad and surrounding properties.
Two Mayors of municipalities. one of
whom was Sharp. Of Waldwick. left be-
fore the Lankering resolution was voted
down. Both said they would stand by
the acton of the League.
