MAYOR DU|S' FL|MSY.
EXCUSE FOR
DRAINING
The Railway Right Way at
the Expense of the
City.

Mayor Duis has finally been forced
to make an eXplanation-and a de-
cidedly lame and impotent one, it is
of his reasons for causing a drain to
be constructed across the property of
the Great Northern railway at the en-
pense of the tax payers of the city.
The drain or sewer in question is suf-
flciently large for man to walk up
right in. and cost the city $57,033. :.
If it is necessary to dig bitches to
this sewer and drain the railway right
cf-way into it in order to properly
flush the same, the petitioners who
asked for the sewer, together with the
mayor and city council who were in
strumental in putting it in, have I'M
questionably made a grave mistake in
expanding the city's money for such a
purpose.
The mayors alleged reason for con-
structing the drain is absolutely
groundless and childish. There is not
a house south of the railway right-of-
way and west of the line of Washing
ton street.
Surely the mayor might have in
vented better excuse for having
given the railway company the right
of-way across city property, or for
Eaving allowed the Hera!ds improve
ments to go unassessed until the mat
ter was looked into by committee.
His crude manner of lodging the
issue is on a par with the statement
which he makes at each of his nightly
campaign meetings, when he claims
that there was $25,000 deficit in the
water works fund in 1900-when as a
natter Of fact the official records show
that the water works was operated at
a profit each and every year of Din
MES administration; it is on a par
with his telling how many bonds he
has paid OF, and failing to explain
how or from what funds he paid them;
1t is on par with his recommends
lions to the city council to purchase
property, with the city's money, that
the city has no more use for than it
has for a balloon; 1t is on par with
his circular letter to the travelling men,
and his financial dealings with the city
band.
II he is so DESTROYS of having the
sewers properly flushed, we suggest
that he dig some surface drains to
flush the sewers In the central part of
the city 80 as to obviate the offensive
odor that greets pedestrians when
passing on the windward side of the
manholes, and to make another-and,
let us hope, less inglorious-a attempt
to show the people why he is so con-
siderate Of the railway company's In
terests.

Out-SCOre 5 to 0.

The Trenton Roeblings, most OF
whose players appear in Perth Amboy
suits on Sundays at Amusement Park,
went to Doylestown yesterday and
won by a score of 5 to 0.
Each team made ten hits, but fine
fielding by the Roeblings shut the
Doylestowns out without a run.
Paul Hart pitched for the Roeb-
lings for eight innings, and was re-
lieved by Egner because of a blister
on the end of his middle finger of the
pitching hand.
Egner created a great sensation
during his inning and a half's work
in the game. When he entered the
game there were two men on bases
and two out. He struck out the first
batter and retired the side. In the
ninth inning he struck out all three
batters.
When Egner went to the bat, the
manager directed him to run no chan
ces of being struck. He did not at
tempt to strike at the first two balls,
which we're strikes, but the next one
he laced wei the fence for a homer.
The Roeblings batted in this or

PUBLIC OPINION.
Editor NEWS:

Editor EVENING NEWS:
Now that the bridge is opened to
the public, and as both Mr.. c.. A.
bloomfield and BOSS" Strong came
in for their full share of abuse and
otherwise, the question as to who is
going to pay for the construction of
the bridge still remains. Mr.. Bloom
field contends that the Board of Cho-
sen Freeholders, without due process
of law, made a contract for the cree
ton of the bridge. That he is right
in his contentious is demonstrated
beyond all doubt. The passage of the
Jackson bill was meant to make law
full a contract that had no legal basis
to commence with, and | really can
not understa I'D how the governor and
the other legal lights came to the
conclusion that the passage of such a
bill as that introduced by Senator
Jackson could have any bearing on
the question at issue.
All governing bodies as well as in
dividuals frame their contracts accor-
ding to the laws existing at the time
the said contracts are made. In case
a contract is made and there is no
law to cover same then it is a question
for the courts to decide and the same
rule may be applied in cases where
the constitutionality of the law under
which a contract is made is attacked.
Now, where does the passage of such
a measure as the Jackson bill affect
nroxtD.yu 1ouu0 And uyhnr0 dnnc
it create any new law? 1t simply
makes valid a contract that Is unlaw-
full without touching on the repeal of
existing laws or the creation of any
new one that could be applied by the
courts to the case at hand.
The Jackson bill is a very funny
measure. While it gives is nothing
new. and leaves untouched anything
that we have at present, it still makes
valid the contract for the building of
the bridge, acknowledging at the
same time that the contract for the
erection of the bridge had no legal
basis. Now, while the legislature
may have power to amend, repeal or
make new laws, what warrant do
they give us IOr Inelf dCliOh al tne
passage of the jackson bill which nei-
Their amends. repeats nor creates any
thing new. Hence 1t would seem that
the end is not yet in sight.
Mr.. Charles A. Bloomfield is entit-
led to credit at the hands of every
citizen and 1t is to be regretted that
there are SO few men in public life
of the Bloomfield stamp.
