Council.

The kearny Common Council Is up
against a stumbling block In the per-
son of David Harper, a Harrison con-
tractor, who owns considerable proper
ty in Arlington, n it looks like a good
fight TO a not finish.
Some time age Mr.. Harper bought
a large plot of ground in the Arlington
section of kearny, and, after opening
d street through the property and
building up on either side, he asked the
Council to name the thoroughfare
Harper place. The Council turned
Harper down. He consulted counsnel,
and was advised to file a map of the
property with the County Clerk, give
the street his name. He did as direct
ed. That was three months ago.
The Council, a few days later intro
duced an ordinance giving the street
the name of Magnolia place, it being
a continuation of Magnolia avenue. The
clerk was reading the ordinance when
a messenger from the County Clerks
Off presented a copy of the filed map
with Clerk Wildman and the ordinance
was laid over.
At a meeting on Wednesday night
the ordinance was again introduced and
passed on first and second readings,
n was laid over until next meeting
for final passage. Councilman CATH
ness, who introduced the ordinance,
said that Town Counsel Crowell adj
vised that the council had the right to
name the street.
Harper was asked today what steps
he would take.
II will fight it to a finish" he said.
1.-THE registers office told me that I
have a perfect right to name the street
as l please. This the Supreme Court
has decided in a case similar to mine,
and If the town sends me tax bills for
Magnolia place l will not pay n Of
the taxes. They can take the matter
to court and L will fight 1t to a finish.
THE Supreme Court has decreed that
when a person improves property and
opens up a street he a call it what
he pleases. Let the council go ahead.
/ am ready"
Harper has curbed, severed and
placed sidewalks in the thoroughfares
and is now getting estimates for paw
ing it with macadam. He has erected
so far thirty-four houses in the street
and claims that the taxes for these
houses amount to more than that paid
by the entire Town Council.
The street about which there is sc
much trouble is north of the Green
wood Lake division of the Erie rail-
road and runs from Forest street to
Schuyler avenue. Arlington.
