der company TO be stationed in that
section of the city. because, although
our present hook and ladder company
is certainly giving the very best of
service. it a hardly be expected that
it could make as good time in answer
ing an alarm from North Amboy as
could a company stationed in that
district. An engine company now ex-
lists zeal the above section, but with
the number of three-story buildings
now under construction, a hook and
ladder company reaching the scene
of the fire promptly, might be the
means of saving precious lives and
property.
"Also, the need of more policemen
in this locality seems most apparent
for the district is large, and the citi-
zens do not appear to have the pro-
lection to which they are entitled.
II would recommend the immedi-
ate compilation of our city ordinances
and their printing in book or pamph-
let form. The city's laws should be
at every ones hand, and | doubt
whether any other city of this size
can be found wherein a book of ord
inances cannot be obtained for the
asking. II is my most earnest wish
that this recommendation will re-
ceive your prompt consideration.
I'm the matter of taxes in arrears.
The taxes should be collected as pro-
vided BY law, and when the time limit
has expired, prompt steps should be
taken to bring about either payment
or forfeit. 1t is not fair to the citizen
who pays his taxes to have others
drag along for years without settling
with the CITY, nor is 1t fair 10 the city
itself, whose needs demand the
prompt payment of all obligations
due it.

cial reports that there are a number

be cautioned upon this point, so that
nothing but what is absolutely neces-
sary be purchased by the city.
1T has been brought to my atten-
ton that the hackmen are not charg-
ing uniform rates for their services,
II / have also been given to under
stand that some are more anxious to
transport foreigners ignorant of the
customary rules, and in exclusion to
the citizens of our city. These ON
ditions should not be permitted, and
| would recommend the passage of an
ordinance regulating this business,
making one of its requirements the
posting of toll cards not only in the
vehicles, but also in the hotels and
railroad stations.
Il also recommend the passage of
an ordinance for the better regulation
of the speed of automobiles passing
through u city or using any of its
streets or highways. Signs should
be placed at each of the points of en-
trance to our city, setting forth the
speed limit allowed and the penalty
for violation.
"A matter which | think is entitled
to your serious consideration is the

present one is a~ntiquated, and at the
time of its passage was not intended
for a city of our present size. Recent
state legislature has created many
conflicts with it. so that at times pro
gress in our municipal affairs is i'm
peded on account Of this state of
affairs. / am fully aware that a
recommendation for a modern city
charter to meet the present demands
has been made by several of my pre-
decessors. and | trust that the time
has now arrived when it will be SER
iously considered, and this suggestion
carried into effect,
I'm conclusion, I wish to mention
the Board of Education, Water Board
and Board of Health. These branch
es of our city government are most
important to its welfare, and | hope
that you will give them the support
and assistance which they from time
to time request, and which the neces-
stiles of a rapidly growing city may
aemNnd.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11:-Tommy
Murphy challenges the world, bar Joe
Cans. Murphy, conqueror of Young
Corbett in Philadelphia, yesterday
came out in the open as a hot seeker
for lightweight championship honors.
He did this through his manager,
Johnny Oliver.
The Harlem pride is out for the
championship, first, last and all the
time, win or lose, come one, come all,
ever excepting Cans. Cans, he admits
with a frankness that does him no
~discredit, is his superior.
Wen fight up to Cans, and then
Wen see," is the way Murphy puts
his case.
Aurelio Herrera, Jimmy Britt, Kid
Herman, Fighting Dick Hyland and
Battling Nelson are the men Murphy
wants to meet in the order named.
Young Corbett, too, has another
bout coming, Murphy thinks. Cor
bett a have this fight any time he
asks for it, but the youngster who has
made Harlem famous insists that 1t
must go more than six rounds. Given
a longer distance, he is supreme In
his confidence that he can cut Corbetti
out.

at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yester-
day, awarded to the Tri-State League

Amateur Baseball Game Is Declared
oH-outdoor Work is Held up.
The Monday rain brought touch
of grief to Norfolk.
TO the amateur baseball flends It
meant an indefinite postponement"
for the championship game set for the
afternoon between MapCs' "own" and
the Sturgeon-Beels trade showers I'M
less all the amateur fellows happen to
get together some bright afternoon
the third game Of the series will prob
ably be killed by some October frost.
The rain drove w. J. Stadelman and
his telephone crew from the new UNI
ion stock yards site, where the work
of setting the posts for Smith Broth
ers' sale yards had been about half
completed.
The rain also put n complete stop to
all work on the new Independent sys-
TEN, the underground part of which
was only just being begun when the
rain of Friday drove the trench dig
gers to shelter.
John Duncan of Sioux City, the en-
gineer constructing the plant, turned
the rain to good account by striking
out on a duck hunt down the Union
Pacific tracks.
The rain resulted in a suspension Of
building operations. On Philip av-
enue the new high school building is
reaching up towards the second story
while the new Northwestern depot is
partially under roof Enough work
has been done on both buildings to
furnish a good idea of what the fin
