north to Washington street, were re-
ceived by the Board of Aldermen last
night They were referred to a COM
mittee of the whole. Eighteen prop
erty-owners sent one remonstrance.
Another was received from Mary
Stack and Adam Eckert on the
ground that the proposed sewer
would cause the flooding OF cellars
on Front street, as it was asserted,
the sewer as proposed would empty
into a sewer already overcrowded,
that is the Washington street sewer.
The third remonstrance was from
George r. Whitworth, who stated
that he believes that the sewer, as
proposed, is designed to protect the
Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company.
He is of the opinion that Broad street
should be open clear to the water
front, and as the dry dock company
occupies the land on Broad street be-
low Front street, it would be to the
company's interest to have the sewer
go up Front street to empty into the
Washington street sewer.
