An Increase of $4,000 over last year In

two losses somewhat. but the consensus
of opinion In the board is that there

will take strenuous steps to get all the
ratables possible from all the corporations

down..
The loss of the Halsey estate ratables
is felt. but 1t was expected that the in

for that.
1t is understood that consideration was
given a plan to get what is considered a
proper amount from these large corpora

them at the boards Judgment n let
them take the initiative in legal proceed
ings. Nothing was definitely done in that
matter, however. A plan of action will
probably be determined upon Friday,

ment are true. and called upon the
grand jury to take hat action, so that
the members of the City Council may
have an opportunity to prove them
false in open court.
1t is the most remarkable action
taken by a Councilmanic body in the
history of Elizabeth, the Councilmen
practically asking to be indicted SO
that they may a an opportunity to
prove the charges contained in the re-
cent p~resentment false beyond the
shadow of a doubt.
General Dennis F. Collins. president
of the City Council. in a vigorous
speech, defed "any man to point to one
act in his official life which was actu-
ated by any other motive than for the
best interests Of Elizabeth" or infu-
enced by the breweries or any other
outside interests. The president of City
Council as PRESIDENT of a local brewing
company, was especially alluded to in
the -presentment.
Referring to the charge made by the
grand jury that the Police Department
was under the control of the breweries
through the City Council, Lawyer Nu-
gent showed that he and General Col
Inns had broken with his colleagues to
vote with the Republican minority for
a police commission named by Mayor

the clandestine emigration agencies
which have been shipping weavers from
the neighboring town of Rouhaix to
Paterson, N. j.. and Lawrence, Mass,
thus enabling factories of those cities
to compete with the products of Rou-
baix and other French own producing
similar manufactures. has revealed an
elaborate system Of recruiting skilled
emigrants. destined for the American
~weaveries, in violation of both the
French and American laws.
Suit has been entered against six
agents at Roubaix and n at Journal.
who were found by the courts to have
received substantial premiums.
The defendants assert that they are
not guilty of engaging in any emigra-
ton scheme in violation of the laws.
claiming that they have merely been
acting as agents for a steamship COM
pany, receiving IS for each passage
sold.
The arrests caused q commotion at

PATERSON, July Enquiry at the
silk mills and among the silk weavers
here brings the answer that no foreign
silk weavers have come here recently
looking for employment. There is a
noticeable dullness in the silk weaving
industry at present. and the arrival OF
foreign weavers at a time when the
native weavers are only working part
time would at once be noticed.
General Joseph w. Congdon, presi-
dent of the Phoenix silk Mills, and for
several years president of h Aineri-
can Silk Association. said last night
that there lar been no arrivals OF
French weavers here. He said the silk
trade was very dull BECAUSE Of the high
price of raw silk. and the mills are not
running full time. Any influx Of for
eign weavers would be Immediately
noticed.
