WILL MEET NEXT WEEK
Resolution Protecting City
Passed By Aldermen and
Signed by Acting Mayor.

Ferry service of the Perth Ambov
and Tottenville Ferry Company he.
tween this city and Tottenville will be
| established within six months if the
Board of Riparian Commissioners will
act Immediately in granting rights to
use the easterly end of Buckingham
avenue, Commerce, Washington or Fay
cite streets. The Board of Aldermen
at an adjourned meeting last night
adopted new resolutions granting ferry
privileges to the ferry company for
twenty-five years. They were imme-
diately signed by Acting Mayor GAR
retson, who vetoed the former resolu-
tions and the ferry company will ap-
peal to the Riparian Commissioners at
their next meeting Thursday for the RI
parian rights to the end of Bucking-
ham avenue.
The resolutions adopted last night
cover practically all of the objections
given by Acting Mayor Garretson when
he refused to sign the first set of reso-
lutions, but do not include sugges-
tion made concerning the right of the
city to practically own and control
the dock, wharf or whatever else
might be erected at the end of the
street.
Old Set Reconsidered.
The first set of resolutions were taken
from the table last night and all but
Alderman Hornsby voted that they not
be reeonsdered. He intended to vote
against them but being a trife hard at
hearing failed to get the drift of the
chairman $ statements. The new reso-
lutions, which had been gone over in
thorough manner by the aldermen after
hearing Joseph f. Stricken state
ment on date obtained, were then Of
fered and read by the clerk. They
were presented by Alderman Calvin
and seconded by Alderman Seaman.
They provide that the city shall apply
for riparian rights to the end of Buck
ingham avenue in perpetuity subject to
lease to the Perth Amboy & Totten-
vile Ferry Company, to expire in 1887;
that the company shall pay annually to
the city the sam of $3.50 for the prop

exceed $4,000.

THAT THERE is A WIDE MAR

ule, the board makes no recommends
tions and suggests no duties in its re-
view Of a very complex subject. The

dations on the declaration OF the plat
form on which he was elected, "that

justed to the difference in the cost OF
production at home and abroad"
