CITY COUNCIL ACTS IN SPECIAL.
"....... SESSION
Assessme nts Levied by Board oil
Public Works Confirmed
Against Objection

The city council convened in special
session Tuesday evening for the
purpose of considering the assess
ments for the construction of the sewer
on South State Street, as the same
had been returned by the Board of
Public Works for confirmation.
w. T. Eckstein, one CT the property
owners on South State Street had in
due time fled his objections in writing
to the assessments as proposed and
was present in person to argue them.
He called the councils attention to
the fact that the street had been left in
deplorabie condition by e. T.
Webster, the contr actor, and that even
now after some time and money had
been spent on it, the street is still
uneven and not on grade. He also
called attention to the poor cement
work done on the catch basins which
is rapidly crumbling away at some of
the places and that there is quite a
bog in the East side of the street at the
corner of Fourth South Street because
the catch basin is fully l8 inches out
of line.
Referring to the assessment of S65
per lot, Mr.. Eckstein argued that it is
unjust, because S244 of the money to-
be raised from said assessments had
been wrongfully used for improving
other streets and had not been used in
this sewer construction. He also
referred to the fact that the taxpayers
of the entire city had for some years
been paying taxes for the bonds which
were issued at the time the main sewer
had been constructed and that only q
limited number of people had bad any
actual benefit from it. He suggested
that the surplus should have been
placed to the credit Of the sewer fund
and not spent on other streets.
Math. Siebenbrunner stated that one
of the lots that he now owns had bet q
previously assessed for sewer improve
ment and that he thought it wasn't
right to be assessed again and be was
informed that he would not be re-
quired to psy two assessments for
the same lot.
These were the only persons who
objected to the assessments as returned
by the Board of Public Works. and
after discussing the matter for some
time, the council went on record con-
frming the assessments as returned
by the Board of Public Works and
the Treasurer will commence with the
collection of the assessments as soon
as the proper warrants have been
made out by the City Clerk.
Gottlieb Oswald, our City Trea Surer,
requested that he be appointed city
scaler, in place of City Clerk Meyer
who is willing to give up this Position
on account of his many other duties
which keep him more than bus, The
M after was laid over to the regular
meeting.
Henry Engel was reelected chief Of
the fire department upon the un#ni-
nous request of the fire department.
Henry Steinhauser appeared h"tore
the council and called attention TO the
wretched condition the sewer long
Garden Street is in and requested bat
it be thoroly cleaned. He also Nat:d
that in its present condition the ,r"or
is practically worthless. The Wart"r
was referred TO tho commit rr
streets to whom it had been r'fe, red
once before.

RACES
AT the GARDEN

With the exception Of the outdoor
championships which were held at
Newark, N. j., in August, the most
Important events of the cycling year
will be held in Madison Square Gar
den, New York, Friday and Saturday
nights, when national title holders
from various parts Of the world will
compete in the worlds indoor cham
pionships.
The two title events that will be
run are the n mile worlds cham
pionship for sprinters, and the mo-
tor-paced middle-distance champion
ship. A bigger and a better entry
has been received for the indoor
titles. Never in the history of cycle
racing in America has there been as
many international champions
brought together at one meet.
The most noteworthy of the pro-
f~essionals is Frank L. Kramer, Of
East Orange, N. j., the worlds
champion, and twelve times winner
OF the championship of America.
The yankee speed king will compete
only in the $1,000 sprint champion
ship, and opposed to him will be
Walter Rutt, the champion of Germ
any; Andre Perchicot, the champion
of France; Alfred Grenda, the cham
pion of Australia; Jumbo Wells, the
champion of New Zealand, and forty
other first-class professionals. Other
prominent entries are Jackie Clarke,
Paddy O'Sullivan Hehir, Ernie Pye
and Gordon Walker, of Australia;
Maurice Brocco, of Italy; Joe Fog
Ter, of Brooklyn; Marcel Berthet and
Oscar Egg, of France, and the Suter
brothers, of Switzerland. The sprint
championship will be II in heats,
%semi-finals, and a grand final
will bring. three riders together
in the final clash for the champion
sfffp ana the $1,000 purse. The rid
.rs most favored for the final are
Kramer, Rutt, Perchicot and Grenda.
The paced championship has been
limited to four riders, and they are
the best in their class in America at
the present time. Friday night Ell
mer Collins, ex-champion of Amer
lea, will meet Jimmy Moran, of Bos-
and Clarence Carmen, of New
York, and on Saturday night the win
ner of this race will meet Bobby
of Atlanta, the ex-cham-
Dion of the world.
Il. Over one hundred amateurs have

Will be run at the two championship
meets, and included in the entry list

FLYING FIVE
AND 'R|VIES'
In GAME? NO!
Rumors That These Teams
Will Meet January-25
Unfounded,
.KREISChER Is MANAGER

Much dope is being spilled in Tot
tenville since the JUNIORS have been
circulated that the Flying Five, of
that place, have been carded to OPP
pose the Riversides on the Audito-
rum court. But dopists and true
fans, believe not the dreams Of one
who it is reported has spread spillery
to the effect that the .Riversides
would play the Flying Five January
rs. When the Flying Five will be
booked to meet the Riversides, the
readers of these columns will know
1t.
It Is supposed that the manage
ment of the Flying Five is agitating
a series of games or one game with
the T. A. @. and knowing few rea-
sons for such action, has taken this
mean of furthering his cause. But
when Manager Larkin, of the Totem
vile bunch, and Manager W1lentz, of
the Riversides held a confab, they
had a real hearty laugh of the af-
fair. Harry Kreischer is the mana
ger of the Filters" as you no doubt
know, but we thought it would be
best to mention this fact, as there
may be a few who have not heard
of the this Bird" who finds great
pleasure of having the public eye
turned towards him in every branch
of sports. But the space already
given Is as much as we car spare for
him.
While it is not an imposibility that
the local champions and the Flying
Five may meet, the crew from the
Island will have to do much more
playing than they are doing at pres
ent to gain the prestige which will
entitle them to a fray with the River
sides. And the same goes for the t.
A. G., according to Manager Larkin
who stated that he might consider
giving the oilers a date in April.
Why the players of the Flying Five,
the manager or any of the others who
are boosting this classy little bunch
for a game with either the River
siles and r. A. G. are doing SO with
such persistent efforts is something
dopist cannot solve.
II fans are to judge from the ex-
hibition given on their last appear
ance here, the Flying Five will have
few more chances to uphold their
title in junior ranks. They gave a
poor showing against the Xaviers and
the only thing that saved them vas
good fortune, and miserable playing
the part Of the Xaviers, who could
play much better than they did. But
II anyone should tell you that the
Five have a date with the
remain silent until
another impetus Of air passes and
then you will be saved an argument.

last night when Paul Checks husky
band of warriors, subdued the forces
of Guy Gilbert's aggregation. 1t was
by 31-16 odds that the home quintet
was able to triumph over the visitors
who put up a strong defense in the
first administration, but became
feeble at the mighty attack of the
Sayreville tossers in the last stana.
The initial period resulted 1911 in
favor of the winners.
Paul Check and Smith, the heav-
lest men In the game, proved the
greatest scoring factors being able to
shake the shreds five times each from
the field. Harry Armstrong showed
up in fine style for his bunch.

Schwartz and His Crowd
Here Last Night.
GET BOOST In LEAGUE

BY placing on eforward under the
basket and having the other four
men doing floor work and passing,
the local Y. M. H. A. pulled the
stunt which did the trick In coping
the bacon for them last night in the
fray with the Yonkers ~contenders
in the Y. M. H. A. League by a
50-13 tally IN the Auditorium court.
1t was 28-6 in favor of the home
boys at the end of the first half.
Sarokin and Doris deserve much
praise for their brialliant guarding
as the forwards of the opposing
quintet only tailed three goals while
Sarokin dropped one in from the
field.
Harry Schwartz kept up his won-
derful work at the throttle playing,
a speedy game and giving a fine
exhibition of floor work. His shoof-
ing was, as usual, the feature of
the battle since he dropped a half
dozen through the ring from the
field and Gagged the sphere four
times from the foul line out of five
chances.

NEPTUNES
WIN FROM
OAK. FIVE

Presenting a wholly different line
up than on the previous night, the
Neptunes, Of South Amboy, invaded
and conquered Kozusko Hall and
every other part of Oak domain last
night. The final tally was 2S-17 and
the fray was no uphill affair, the
Neptunes leading throughout. AS
the South Amboy aggregation defeat

between them on the knights of
Pythias court there will probably be
no more games between the two
battle last night was one which
a number of fans were disappointed
because Mike Schicker was not In
action at the pivot, where Freddie
Garland, the Midtown lad, SO ably
filled the vacancy.
Bunk Allen and Mike Smith op-
posed one another, the former play
ing left forward and the latter right
guard. These tessers gave a splendid
exhibition, doing the major part of
the floor work for their respective
teams. They figured little in the
scoring but were prominent in nearly
every play that meant a basket. Gar
lands style was too classy for the
Oaks and when truce was declared
he had Gagged the sphere six times
from the field and the same number
from the foul line. The tally at the
end Of the initial frame was 14-9 in
favor of the visitors.

Manager Chris Faist, of the Trinity
A. A. of the Boys Club, of Manhat-

they have already won twenty, which
is some record. Among the victories
which the Trinitys have is one
against the RiYersides during the
early part of the season. The tally
was 27-16, which is an unusually
one-sided affair when the playing of
the Riversides is considered. The

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Here is the burning question Of the
day: Who set fire to Tom lagos
hat? The incident happened last
Friday in the auditorium during the
varsity game.
The Goldberger brothers were very
much responsible for the victory over
South River. Nathan, as usual, gen.
erously fed the basket. Leo was also
there with the goods, making five
field goals.
Manager Brace Eggert Is to be
complimented for securing such
drawing cards as the Rutgers College
Freshmen and the like.
The Freshmen pennant which came
to life again the other day was hung
up once more in its former place.
But now It's gone! Where?
Last Friday Leo Goldberger made
his initial appearance In varsity
toys, and as he performed SO splen-
dtdly. his friends declare that he Is
sure to land a regular berth.
Monthly tickets were issued for the
frst time this season, on Tuesday.
For persons intending to see all the
games played in the auditorium dur
ing a month, the monthly tickets will
be found more economical.

Like It." which was shown In the
