Aldtnaat-at-Larg* Eckart Make* Strong
Speech Against tha Resolution- Says
It It Unjttt? Or. Raauay Tellt 8??e
ot Hit SMe of the Matter-Much
Money PaW to Working?en.
An untaoceaaful effort wm made at
the meetifcg of the Board of Aldermen
last night to have a resolution paaaed
whereby the Wet Dock property could
be told, the city relinqnUhing all
rights ot olaima to the title of the
land, ihe resolution was Introduced
by Alder aoan Gannon, who afterward
said he ha(l not inveatigated the mat
ter. bat had only introduced the reao
lntion to get the question before the
aldernto
The reaolntion was bitterly opposed
by Alderman Eckert. In speaking on
the matter he said :
"This resolution is one of the most
iniquitous acts that has ever been
pertwtiated in the city. Sixty cr
seventy years ago that land was virt
ually stolen from the city. Before
thia it passed I desire the citizens to
know what that tract is. It ia com
posed of 8 % acres of the most valuable
land in the city and it 1b proponed by
that reaolntion to vote it away. When
Jersey City and Elizabeth are both
I striving for some of their water front
we, by passing that resolution, would
be virtnally throwing ours away. "
Mr. Eokert's motion to have the
resolution laid over was passed with
out further remarks.
Dr. W. E. Ramsay, a member of
J the Perth Amboy Engineering and
Shipbuilding Company, which now
controls the land, said this morning,
that their title to the property had
been favorably passed upon by the
best lawyers of the State. He declared
| that it had been leased for 99 years
with the privilege of a new lease for
the same time for an annual rental of
$1.
Dr. Ramsay showed where over
$1,000,000 had been paid to the work
ing men of this city in wages since
the Ramsay s took hold of the plant
and asked which was doing the most
good, thousands of dollars to the
laboring men, or a vaoant property in
the name of the city?
Dr. Ramsay says if something is not
done by the aldermen to settle the
matter his company will proceed fur
ther to end the dispute.

FIRE IMPROVEMENT WAS
IGNORED BY ALDERMEN.
Matter Was Not Even Mentioned At The Meeting Last Night? No
Excuse Was Ready And Aldermen Have Little To Say
Regarding The Matter-Alderman Gannon
May Act At Next Meeting.
FIREMEN WERE VERY MUCH DISAPPOINTED.
Nothing was done by the Board of
Aldermen last nieht toward imtiroving
the flre department. When several of
the aldermen were seen later they
gave no excuse fox their inaction.
When asked about the matter one
alderman simply smiled and said :
"No, we didn't do anything last
night. "
Several firemen were present expect
ing that something woald be done.
They were disappointed and said so.
Everyone present seemed to be expect
ing something to happen.
In an effort to learn why the matter
was delayed an Evening News report
er was told that the qnestion had been
referred to the committee of the
whole, of which Alderman -at-Large
Eckert is chairman. ^ The alderman
speaking said that so far as he knew
the question of issuing bonds had not
been considered by that committee in
any form.
Alderman Gannon, who introdnoed
the bill in the legislature making it
possible for the city to issue bonds
not exceeding |25,000, when seen
would say little, bat it was evident
he was doing lots of thinking. Mr.
Gannon is determined that his hard
work at Trenton shall not amonnt vto
nothing and it is possible he will
have to personally carry on ^ the move
ment here. While he would not talk
for publication it would not be sur
prising if something was heard from
Mr. Gannon in regard to the bond
issne at the next meeting.
