Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1905-06-01

Mr.. Munyan reported as to the widening
Of West ST., that Mr.. Grimm would agree
to give his ground for widening the street
if the City would give him as much land in
the rear as they took from the front, and
set his buildings back. He had figured on
the cost and estimated that the ex-

Mr.. Cattell moved that the Clerk notify
the Solicitor to appear before the Court on
May 30 and protect the City's interests in
the license matter. Carried.
Mr.. Bnrkett moved that the street COM
mittee Jay covered iron gutter across Red
Bank ave-, at its intersection Of Broad St.
Mr.. Cattell thought this should be ipyesti-
gated before we go into this expense.
After discussion it was left with the street
committee with power to act,
r. J. Devlin rendered his resignation as
driver of Good Will fire horse, to take eff
feet June 1. The same was accepted.
A letter from sibyl T. Jones to the chair
man of the Street committee, was read as
follows

the more advantageous sale Of their prop
erty, are they not willing to give their share
Of land for the said street?
Concerning West street, it has been used
as a public thoroughfare for nearly sixty
years, as my mother remembers it. Our
home, at the corner was, before Joseph Og
den bought it many years ago, hotel.
West street was used then and afterward
by him to reach stables on the lot back OF
the house, as it was used by Others living
further back to reach their properties. Mr..
Glover's fence stood on one side the lane as
ours did on the other, at this end Of the
road It was never within my mothers
memory spoken Of as private lane Of Mr.
Gloyer's
When DR.. Glover was member OF the
City Council he worked for the widening O
the street. He proposed, in order to widen
and improve it, that we give certain
number Of feet of land and said his father
would do the same. Our fence was moved
back to the line agreed upon. Mr.. Glover
did not give his promised portion nor was
the street improved.
We therefore ask that in your consider
alton Of the matter these facts may be TAX
en- into account We have certainly shown
our readiness to improve the street, but ask
that those others who are working for the
same end be willing to do their share since
their interests in the improvement Of West
street are greater than either Mr.. Krimm's $
or ot1r own

Respectfully submitted,

A motion to receive and file the letter
was opposed by Mr.. Cattell, because, he
said, it was reflection on the character
Of member of Council who was absent.
He hoped the communication would be
referred back to Miss Jones, and she be
required to come here and make her ac-
cusations to his face. After some discus
sion action on the letter was deferred until
the next meeting.

shieh did not amount to prohiblbition.


He admitted Mr.. Watkins contention
that Council had no legal authority in these
matters, But bear IN mind, he said,
Council is the representative Of the people
whether they make the application as
citizens or officials. The sum named is
not prohibtiye, but is in the spirit Of the
Werts act which is for high license as oppos-
ed to prohibition. Z
This ended the argument and Judge
Jnssnp, taking bundle Of applications in
bis hand said. The court is the sole Judge
OF the sufficiency Of the license fee. It i.
charged with the obligation Of fixing the fee
not for the purpose Of revenue but for the
regulation Of places kept as hotels,
hence could not be governed by a.
desire to increase the revenue to the COM
munity. The duty Of the court was to pro-
vide the community with well ordered
hotels. The license fee must be reasonable,
and IN fixing such the court is supposed to
exercise sound discretion. and not to be
moved by impulse or popular desire. The
court don't want to be arbitury because it
has the power, ii wants to know the nee
cessity.
There is a sentiment, he said, for an
increase of these fees at this time, but the
petitioners omitted to inform the court
what prompted them to petition the court
to raise the fees from 5000 to 81 900, there
fore the court was nos prepared to make the
change in fees at slime.
Judge Jessup then granted the licenses
petitioned for at the old Zee, as follows:
Charles Kerns, East Greenwich, fee 500
Clara Brewer, West Deptford, = $50
D. f, Hendriokson, Woodbury., & 200
John Rachor, Jr.. .' g 200
w. F. Davis, Glassboro, e 150
H. T. Ford. swedesboro. l50
r. C. Clark, q $50
John r. Jackson, Westville, 9 $50
Elizabeth Broadbent, Clarksboro. G 100
w G. Mobius, Williamstown, 100
Delaware River Amusement Co., 1000
Abner r. LleaveT, Palfsh0T0; 2VD
Jesse n. Thompson, Paulsboro, g 100
George Gantz, Barnsboro, s 150
Jos. Hanle, Gibbstown, = $50
AS to Mr.. Cattel1s application for an adj
ditional hotel in the Third Ward, with an
offer to pay a license fee of $1,000, Judge
Jessup said there was remonstrance TO it,
l.
but having been filed after the time fixed
by the rule, it could not be considered.
However, the court did not think an addi-
tional hotel would eonduce to the public
good, nor was there a necessity for it under
the law, 50 he declined to grant the appli-
cation. The offer 10 pay a fee OF $1,000 for
the license was not proper one to make to
the court, 9 he said, Licenses are not sold
to the highest bidder, and the court could
not be influenced by offers Of this kind. 2

sang the familiar hymn. "Some Glad

which tho latter spoke few earnes,
words to the large company OF ladies
gathered. She gave them her motto:
Never be discouraged in the work or

nifty theiL work. and that every additional
msmbsr meant added force. She refer
red q the incident at brewers conyen-

Mrs. Hungeriord followed with an en-
