REPORT OF
CITY FINANCES
General Fund Temporarily
Wiped Out.
ADVANCED FOR SEWERS
The Water Department Goes Right
Along and Makes a Profit for
the City All the Time.

City Comptroller Barton F. Sharp
made his monthly report to City Coun-
ell last night, and the document was
interesting.
The report shows that the total
amount of money received in the gen.
eral fund is $90,952.O2. During the
past month there was received $500
for the taxes of 1909.
This general fund is apparently
wiped out. In fact it is overdrawn.
But this is due to the money that has
been advanced from the general fund
for the sewer construction. $1,4S2. 80
mas been expended for the sites of the
| sewage disposal plants, and S19.56O 70
has been advanced for the sewer con-
struction.
This money will be returned to the
general fund by the sale of bonds
which will be made for the sewer
building. These bonds will be deliy-
cred to the purchaser by the first part
- OAAAoSA' nc lCpOIb5 LuuS dcCu-
ally shows that the city has balance
of about $4,000 in the general fund.
The street and road appropriation
has been exhausted and bills paid up
to the 18th of September, overdraws
the account $314.62 The bills which
will be due at the next meeting of City
Council will bring this amount up to
probably 5000.
The Sundries appropriation is also
oyerdrawn to the extent of $11226.
The Water Works department con-
tinues to be profitable enterprise.
There is balance on hand in the
water accounts of $47,O32.16. At the
first of January the balance to the
credit of the Water Department was
S37,l73.66. The receipts during the
year up to the first of October has
been Sl9,650 for water rents; 1888
for material sold, and $500 interest
from the banks upon the water de-
posits. The expenditures have been
S5,476.14 for maintenance, $4,836.34
for construction and $315 interest
upon bonds.

SPEAKING OF
PRIMARY BRIBERY
Newspapers Discuss the
Matter.
SURPRISE EXPRESSED
Some UP Jersey Newspapers Are
Talking Plainly of Cumber.
land County.

Editorially the Jersey City Journal
says;
"The Grand Jury in Cumberland
County either ignored the charges
made by Edward c. Stokes, that mon
ey was used corruptly to defeat him
in his candidacy for United States
Senator, or else found upon investiga-
ton that the charges were groundless.
Anyway, in its report to the Court,
the Grand Jury made no mention of
the Stokes charges. And the jury has
been discharged In his campaign
speeches Mr.. Stokes stated positively
that money was being used corruptly
in Cumberland. How did he know?
The Journal is wrong in one in
stance, absolutely. The Grand Jury
has not been discharged. There is a
possibility of its being brought to-
gether at any time.
The Juonral don't want to think
there was any investigation of the
facts placed before the Grand Jury by
Justice Thomas w. Trenchard.
The Journal don't want to think
than the Jersey City Journal. Here
is an editorial from the Newark Star
of Tuesday of this week:
"The Cumberland County Grand
Jury, earnestly instructed by Justice
Thomas w. Trenchard to make COM
plete investigation of the public
charges of bribery and corruption at
the recent Republican primaries in
the county, made no attempt to inves-
tigate, did not issue single subpoena
rscall witness and came into court
to be discharged. The court declined
to discharge the Jurors and held them
subject to recall. The Law and Order
Association of Cumberland has now
taken up the matter, and if the court
shall convene the Grand Jury in ses-
sion the association will have evi-
dence to present it. That bribery was
used to influence voters was publicly
charged by former Governor Stokes,
and his charge is supported by the
testimony of many others. One of
the methods employed was shown in
a ward in Bridgeton, where the total
Republican vote was 230. No less
than ninety-fve men We're paid, oss
tensibly, as workers. There was
general buying up of the negro vote
in Bridgeton, Fairfield, Hopewell and
Greenwich. and the league has the
names of the men who handled the

IL q
Following the disposal of three
criminal cases In the Cumberland
courts yesterday, Prosecutor J. Hamp-
ton Ffthian announced that he had
no other indictments ready for trial
and said he would be ready to resume
on Thursday. He explained that in
several cases that he expected to put
on today the defendants had retracted
their pleas of not guilty and entered
pleas of guilty.
There being nothing else to do
Judge R. P. Tuller sent the jurors and
court officials home until Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock.
The trial of John Remington, charg-
ed with stealing $13O from William

bailee.

that they had been invoved in race
war at Bivalve, May Sth, last.

WENTz LICENSE
IS CERT|ORARIED
Alleges that the Court Made
a.Mistake.
CASE IN SUPREME COURT
Supreme Court Justice Has Issued
Writ RetuI nable on Friday
of This Week.

The Newkirk W. Wentz license case
is again iu Court. The matter has
been in and out of Court for long
while, and has been matter of
public discussion and interest for q
couple of years.
Some few months ago Judge R. P.
Tnller granted licenss to keep an inn
ard tavern at Greenwich Piers.
Wentz paid the license fee and has
since been conducting his business in
his hotel. n
Now Charles E. Sheppard, repres
senting Christian johnson and Lemuel
p. Sloan, has made application t6
Supreme Court Justice Thomas w.
Trenchard, for writ cerfforaring the
case from the Common Pleas to the
Supreme Court for review. The writ
is returnable on Friday of this week.
It is understood that the contention
Of the prosecutors is that when Judge
Taller granted the license to Wentz to
keep an inn aud tavern he had no
jurisdiction in the matter.
Ehe prosecutors claim that when
Ee argument in the license case was
completed. Judge Tuller reserved his
SECESSION, and did not tix any date for
the adjournment of the Court when
the decision would be given. Mr..
Sheppard claims that the cases all
hold that the Court has no jurisdiction
when 1T has adjourned a matter
without day.
Mr.. Wentz will resist the writ and
make defense in the Supreme Court.

Nevertheless, Polly was uneasy.

This afternoon the strikers, in an at

Boosted of
Their Graft

UTICA, N V, April 1.-THE pres
ent distrust of popular representation
in legislative bodies means sooner or
later a practical despotism," declared
William H. Hotchkiss, state superin-
tendent of insurance, in a speech at
the annual banquet of the Oneida
County Republican league here today.
Through what a period we have been
recent years considerations on the
side seem to have been smiled at by
the cynical; the boasts of some of
these in the back room talks led to-
ward several disclosures in the inquiry
now closing. What an atmosphere
was that of the capital city where
graft has been subject for joking
and the distribu tors of it honored in
song Each decade of late has seen the
executive grow stronger, the Legislature
weaker; each decade the people have
become more satisfied to trust man,
not merely to execute but even at times
to make the laws. The current just
now is stronger than ever before.
and so, / take it, our governor
was looking far into the future when
he asked a thorough and unsparing
investigation into legislative processes
and procedure.
MerWin Hart, president of the
league, in his Introductory remarks,
said the people are as. hard to fool
as in Lin coins time, and were not
deceived by the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill, and are tired of continued dis
closures about politicians for revenue
