The matter of paying the salary of
Police Judge II. Edward Wolf and
his two clerks, William Schmauder
and David c. Fitterer, which was
voted down in the finance committee
on Wednesday, again came up before
that body last night prior to the
Common Council meeting
Alderman John j. Walsh. of the
Fifteenth ward moved that Judge
Wolf be paid an annual salary of
$500, which would be S., 900 less than
other police judges in the city are
receiving, and that the clerk be paid
d,5OO and the deputy clerk 1000 The
motion was not seconded.
Then Alderman +. Garfield Clifford,
, OF the Eighth ward, moved that the
judge and his clerks be paid the same
salaries as other judges and clerks
in the city, This was voted down
by a vote of five to two.
Alderman Clifford suggested that a
fire-house site at Sanford avenue
and Palm street be taken up for con-
sideration The matter was deferred
until special meeting of the COM
mittee can be arranged.
Market Vote 16 to IL.
An unsuccessful effort to repass the
resolution calling for the erection of
new municipal market the veto of
Mayor Raymond to the contrary,
notwithstanding. was made in the
Common Council meeting. The vote
was 16 to 10, strict party vote with
the exception of Alderman John F.
Fitzsimmons, who voted with the
Republicans. 1t lacked the neces-
sary two-thirds.
Alderman William F. Haas, Repub-
lican of the Ninth ward. who voted
in the affirmative on the original
resolution, voted last night to sus-
tain the veto His change was due
to the fact that the matter had been
made q party measure.
Mayors Reason for Veto.
The reasons for Mayor Raymonds
adverse action on the new market
was explained by him as follows:
THE proposed site for this subject
has become the business centre of the
city and is not suitable for market
purposes; that the character of this
location in the future will be large
ly determined by the setfaen3eatars0f7
the questions concerning the Norris
canal and the development of the
city Immediately east of the market
site, and that it may appear wiser to
use this location for other purposes.
used for the purposes of a city mar
ket, and it is unwise to add to the
present bonded Indebtedness of the
city the cost of this market un-
til the present commercial and indus
trial condition has improved and that
il is unWise to abandon the present
farmers market, adjacent to the city
market, which would result from
the erection on this site of new
market.
II believe that with the expenditure
of a few thousand dollars the pres
ent market building can be so i'm
proved as to make it serviceable for
years to come, and that it is the
best part of wisdom to leave to the
future the question of whether 1t be
more advisable to spend large sums OF
money for the purpose of building
new city market or to construct re-
gional markets, as has been suggest
ed by some of our citizens.
"The proposition, which the mayor
has vetoed | think was for the best
interests of the city of Newark said
Alderman Haas. "In all the large
cities there is one central market,
and in some cases smaller markets in
different sections of those cities. A
great number of business men either
called to see me personally or COM
municated with me by letter, urging
that a central market should be-
constructed upon the present site,
hut that it would alsoeinolude a far
mers' market, and that the total eX-
pense should not exceed the proceeds
of the bond sale, namely, 100000.
IF you will recollect, this present
plan under discussion would have en-
abled the city to erect one-story
market and completely furnish and
equip il in the most modern and san
itary style. There would be no sec
ond floor and the old market over the
canal was to have been removed.
The canal was to be bridged over,
thus uniting North and South Canal
streets, and making a wide roadway
practically from the Market street
station of the Pennsylvania railroad
to Broad street.
Would Provide New Street.
eff such street. which would be
over 100 feet from curb TO curb, were
constructed, there would be no ne
cessity for the opening of Central
avenue from Park place to the Penn
sylyania Railroad, and the taxpayers
of the city of Newark would not be
burdened with the expense OF some
six or seven hundred thousand dol
lars as the citys share of the cost
of opening and widening said ave-
me AS the proposition was pre-
sented to the public building commit
tee all of the above would have been
accomplished for the balance of the
appropriation remaining in the hands
of the city treasurer, namely, $685. 900.
II thought then, and still think, that
The pIan was a meritorious one, not
only from the standpoint of the tax
payers but also for the best business
interest of the city of Newark. In
nv own ward, which have the honor
10 represent | believe that very
large majority of the people desire a
new central market upon the present
site and in voting as | did in the
committee and upon this floor for the
last market proposition. | believed
that | represented what that major
itv of citizens of the Ninth ward de-
sired in the matter.
"But now another phase has been
mt upon this rather troublesome
nroposition. 1t has been MADE
narty issue by the mayor of this city
and bv a majority of the minority
members of this council. While L
believe that some proper solution
shonId he found, which would for all
tinoe dispose of this whole matter,
oct T have always been, and am now,
nartv man, and ! do not at this
Time propose to leave my party upon
anv issue which has been made
strictly a party issue by caucus dornA-
