THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1893. Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J., as second-class mail matter. The Sewerage Ordinance Passed. An adjourned meeting of Council was held on Friday evening, Mayor Moore in the chair. Councilmen Corson, Caufield, Steelman and Hand were present. The minutes of an adjourned meeting, as well as those of a special meeting, were read and approved. Various committees made verbal reports, the most important of which was one on the placing of garbage, etc., the coming season, the committee thinking opposite Twenty-seventh and Twentyninth streets, on an island. The Collector and Marshal each offered their bondsmen for the ensuing

year.

The Clerk reported that the Mayor had returned the sewerage ordinance without signing, and then proceeded to read the veto mintage, which follows: To the Members of the Borough Coun-

cil of Ocean City.

GENTLEMEN: I herewith return to you, by your clerk, the ordinance relating to the establishing of a system of sewerage in Ocean City, without my signature. I will mention three particular objections, which, in my opinion, is a sufficient reason for withholding that signature. First, in my opinion it is not only unwise, but an injustice to the citizens and taxpayers, to grant such a valuable franchise to any company unlimited without profit, reward or forfeit, as the first article of Section 9, in the original ordinance, having been stricken out. Second, that the ordinance is changed and altered that no reward or forfeit is reserved for the

borough. I refer particularly to the change of Section 11. Third, in my

opinion the ordinance is invalid and illegal from the fact that it was not legally adopted and would not stand a suit in equity. Note the proceedings. The original ordinance passed its first and second reading and was accepted at a council meeting held April 14th. Afterwards the ordinance was rewritten and materially changed, leaving out paragraphs (in my opinion) of vital importance to the borough, and making concessions to said company that would be inconsistent with the duties of the Borough Council in future years. The rewritten ordinance, with all of these changes, was passed and adopted at what was called its third and final reading at a meeting held April 17, 1893, and as I fail to find on the journal of the proceedings of Council any resolution adopted at that, or any other meeting, striking out any section or para-

graph of the original ordinance, or

inserting any section or paragraph, I

must conclude that there were two ordinances acted upon by the Council,

both relating to the same matter, the first one accepted on its first and second reading, and the other one accepted only on its first reading and proclaimed a law. I have the honor to be Very respectfully yours, etc., G. P. MOORE, Mayor. The ordinance was then taken up for reconsideration, and remarks on the matter were made by Councilman Cenfield and Corson. The vote was then taken by ayes and nays, resulting in unanimously passing the ordinance over the Mayor's veto.

A communication requesting Council

to compel the filling up of certain lots to grade was read and referred to Street Committee.

A committee, consisting of Canfield

and Corson, was appointed to advertise all street work, which has not been

done as per notice given by Council.

The Mayor and Clerk were instructed to secure a loan not to exceed $500 from Isaac Lee to pay note given by school trustees. The Mayor and Marhsal were instructed to proceed to collect a number of delinquent licenses. The Mayor and Clerk were instructed to prepare an appropriation ordinance and present it at the next meeting of Council. A committee representing the Board of Health made a statement to Council and asked for an appropriation of $25 additional. The request was granted. Council agreed to appropriate $250 toward publishing 2000 copies of the Ocean City Guide Book and Directory this season. Councilmen Hand and Canfield were appointed a committee to have the crossing at Atlantic avenue and Fourth street put in passable condition for pedestrians. Councilmen Canfield, Steelman and Hand were appointed a committee to purchase hose and hose carriage. On motion adjourned. An Injunction Granted. Chancellor McGill has granted an order upon the officers of the Franklin

Electric Light Company of Cape May

City to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed. The writ was made returnable last Tuesday at Trenton. The company's indebtedness is reported at $14,000, divided as follows: Ed D. Mullen, $3700; J. Henry Edmunds, bond, with accrued interest, $9000, and outstanding floating debts making up the balance. The officers of the company, as originally constituted, are: President, F. J. Melvin; secretary and treasurer, J. E. Taylor; directors, W. B. Miller, Lafayette Miller, with the officers of the company. Now is the time for cottage owners in Ocean City to have their cesspools cleaned. It is better to have it done now than to wait until hot weather. Orders sent to Charles Miller, Ocean City, N. J., will receive prompt attention. Terms cash. CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES. Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents. CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE. The following sentences were passed by Judge Reed at the late term of Court: Lewis Taylor, 30 days in the county jail; Lilburn Hand, 5 years at hard labor in State prison. The grand jury returned the following true bills: Jane Husted, disorderly house at Swain Station;

Lydia DeMerritt, disorderly house at Swain Station; Martin Wells, Sea Isle City, keeping a vicious dog. CAPE MAY CITY. Rev. Mr. Colby, of Asbury Park, is spoken of as a candidate for the vacancy in the Baptist Church. Mrs. Mattie Brooks is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Stuart H. Thompson at Jersey City. The practice of seeking a summer home out of the large cities in order to avoid the stifling heat and concomitant evils is becoming more extended each year. Cottages here have been renting unusually early this spring, there being seventy-five or more taken already. Joseph Ware died in this city Saturday night, aged 72 years. Mr. Ware was very prominent in early life, being elected Mayor in 1856 and again in 1871. He also served two terms as assessor and was appointed postmaster in 1866. He was reappointed in 1869, when the post-office name was changed from Cape Island to Cape May. Mr. Ware was at

one time editor and proprietor of the Cape May Wave. During the cholera scourge of 1842 he was noted for his attention to the suffering. Five matrons have petitioned a Washington street tradesman to have his

office enlarged so that they may enjoy

the privilege of spending at least one evening a week with their husbands. He has promised to accede to the wives' wishes. TUCKAHOE. Tuckahoe Lodge, No. 67, I. O. O. F.,

celebrated the seventy-fourth anniversary of American Odd Fellowship by attending the M. E. Church on Sunday evening last, and listening to an able sermon by the Rev. Samuel H. Hann. The Baptists have organized a union meeting for the young people. Samuel Champion and wife went to Estellville Sunday to visit Mr. C's mother, Mrs. Sallie Champion. D. Clark and family, of Philadelphia, are visiting his parents here. Captain Samuel Young and wife, of Beesley's Point, spent Saturday with Captain T. Weeks. Mrs. Mary Jane Sheppard came home Saturday. She had been visiting her son in Atlantic City. Garner T. Goff now rides a Safety bicycle to his place of business in May's Landing. Charles J. Parker and his granddaughter, of Dennisville, were visiting their Tuckahoe relatives last week. Dr. Edward Madden and wife, of Absecon, were here Saturday visiting Mrs. M.'s father, Captain Weeks. Samuel Lee and wife, of Eldora, spent Sunday here. William Westcott was one of our visitors for a few days. Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA. Monday, May 1, 1893.

The 110,000 yards of Ginhams at eight cents--from 12 1/2c--are conquering the town. The counter at which are sold the Plaid Stufts is boasting now rich Novelties in Silk-and-wool at half prices, near by are Serges at 50c, in many colors, worth 80c. Equally cheap are the Whipcords at 60 and 75c. Other rare things go thus: Silk-and-wool Epingline Plaids are down, $1.75 to $1.25; same materials, changeable plaid, go from $2 to $1.25, and a choice variety, Velour and Epingline, go from $2.50 to $1.25. Nine styles Melange Plaids, rare, trip on the price steps and fall from $1.25 to 75c, 45 in. Can't tell about them, they must be seen. Six styles Plumetis Plaids were $1.25, are $1; 42 in.

Just out of the import cases and first shown this morning:

First. Silk-striped Epingle, very beautiful, $1.25. All the season until to-day, $2.50.

Second. Silk-and-wool Hop Sacking, exclusive, has been $5, is $2.

Third. Mixed Stripes, gems for traveling dresses, $1.25; never before less than $2.

The last three items are fit responses to the Ginghams--the Hop Sacking at $2 is rela-

tively cheap as the Ginghams at eight cents.

And so there is bargain music all along the line. Another surprise! No, nothing is a surprise at Wanamaker's. Would be elsewhere. Look!

Lapin's Iron Frame Her-

manis--black. Pure silk-and-wool. No cotton carded in as with some of the mongrel stuffs which profess to be Hernani bargains. The meshes are sure, not slippery. But you and Lupin are so completely en rapport that all this seems like merely introducing lifelong friends. . This is the way prices go: 65c quality is 37 1/2c 75c quality is 50c $1 quality is 65c All 23 inches wide. The high grades and greater widths sympathize in the reductions, thus: $1.25 quality is $1.00 $1.50 quality is $1.25 $2.00 quality is $1.50 $2.50 quality is $2.00 All 45 inches wide Lapin's again. This time black Mexicanne. You know the Spanish-like brunette stuff. In fibre and construction the pendant to Hernani. It goes this morning from $1.25 to Sixty-five Cents. A trade riddle? Yes, but don't fool your time in guessing it. Buy the stuff. Very likely the Costume-style your dressmaker advises was suggested in that great gathering, Thirteenth and Chestnut streets, second floor. Hints there for the brightest of them. Nowhere else in America can so many new Dress thoughts be seen. Costumes for any service. The more you see of them the less you'll wonder why so many women of taste and means are buying their Dresses ready-made. Base Ball Goods--anything. If there's a good Bat shape or a new, you'll find it somewhere in the long line between Boys' Maple, 5c, and Spalding's New Model Oval, $1.50. So of Balls, from Rockets 5c to League $1.25.

Or of Masks or Gloves or Mitts or Body Protectors--or Score Books even. Nothing overlooked. All sorts of Sporting things are handled in the same way. JOHN WANAMAKER.

AN ORDINANCE

To Provide Sewer Drainage for Ocean City, New Jersey. SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Ocean City, Cape May county and State of New Jersey, that the consent of Council and said Borough is hereby given, according to the statutes in such cases made and provided, for the formation and incorporation of the Ocean City Sewer Company, as proposed by Ezra B. Lake and his associates, for the object and purpose of supplying Ocean City and the inhabitants thereof with sewer drainage; and that a duly certified copy of this resolution and ordinance be made by the Borough Clerk and delivered to the said Ezra B. Lake and his associates to the end that this consent in writing may be attached to the certificate of incorporation of the said company by the said Ezra B. Lake and his associates according to law, for the privilege to lay pipes beneath the surface of the public streets, avenues, lanes and alleys of said Borough for the purpose of conducting sewage to the bay, thoroughfare, pumping station or sewer tank or well. SEC. 2. And be it enacted, that the said grant be upon the following conditions and not otherwise: First, that said pipes shall be laid at a depth not less than one foot from the surface of said streets, lanes or alleys, or sufficient to clear all trunks or curbs, and not less than five feet from the centre line or curb lines of said streets and also that all streets, lanes or alleys used by the said company shall be left in a condition so that when packed, they shall be in as good condition as found and that no more than five hundred (500) feet of any street, alley or part of street or alley shall be opened at one time for laying of pipes or mains between the first day of June and the first day of September following, without a permit from the said Borough Council. Second, and whenever the said company shall neglect, after two days written notice from said Borough Council, to repair any damage to the said streets, lanes or alleys caused by said company, then the said Borough Council may have the same repaired and collect the cost thereof from the said company. Third, the tapping of the main pipes and the laying of the service pipes from the main pipes to the curb lines or alley lines is to be done by the said company at a fair and reasonable price dependent on the kind and size of pipe used, which price shall not exceed one dollar per foot. Fourth, that at all times the main, lateral and sewer pipes shall be of a sufficient size and strength for a thorough, efficient and continuous conduit for the drainage of all house slops, privies, water-closets, bathtubs and the like, sufficient to meet all public and private requirements, and that the said company shall provide them with such a system of sewerage at all times. All of such pipes shall be made of such materials and shall be so connected as not to emit water or gas or other substance through their joints or surfaces. Fifth, all connections and sewer pipes (whether made of iron or clay) shall be equal to the best steam press, salt glazed, vitrified clay pipe and of sufficient strength to withstand a pressure of at least three pounds to the square inch, and if clay pipe be used it shall be laid or connected with a first grade and quality of cement. SEC. 3. And be it enacted, that the laying of all pipes and the making of all connections by the said company shall be under the supervision and direction of the Street Committee, who shall determine the mode of laying and construction thereof and shall have general supervision of all repairs thereto. SEC. 4. And be it enacted, that said company shall provide for the full and complete flushing of all the pipes at all times, and that no pipe shall be laid at a grade descent to the outlet of less than five feet to each mile anywhere on the southeast side of West avenue. And no service or house pipe shall be less than four inches in diameter on the inside of the pipe and no main pipe shall be less than six inches in diameter on the inside; provided, that the size thereof to be laid shall be increased by the order and under the direction of the said Street Comittee whenever it shall by them be deemed necessary or expedient to effect the purposes of the grant of this franchise. SEC. 5. And be it enacted, that the said company shall at all times cause all sewage to be thoroughly and continuously removed through the said pipes from the limits of said Borough as rapidly as the said system will admit. Should any of the said pipes at any time prove inade-

quate to conduct the sewage to the outlet then the said company shall substitute other pipes of greater and sufficient capacity. SEC. 6. And be it enacted, that said company shall not be compelled to lay new main pipes along any street, lane or alley unless there shall be enough property owners or lessees in any block or blocks, square or squares adjoining the block or square where the said pipes have been laid, to sign an agreement to accept said system of drainage and pay service rent to the amount of thirty dollars per annum in each and every block or blocks, square or squares through which the said pipes are to be laid, at the regular schedule rent price for sewer service. SEC. 7. And be it enacted, that the said company is to give the said borough the use of its system for the sewerage of public buildings and school houses free from all costs and charges for the use of all main pipes. The said borough shall be at the expense of making all the connections necessary for the foregoing and laying all service for the same and making all repairs to said service pipes from time to time there-

after.

SEC. 8. And be it enacted, that the said company charge and collect in advance for the use of said sewer service as follows: For hotels or boarding houses, seventy-five (75) cents per annum for each sleeping room not exceeding thirty, and fifty (50) cents per annum for each additional sleeping room over said number; private dwellings or cottages, seventy-five (75) cents per annum for each sleeping room not exceeding ten, and fifty (50) cents per annum for each additional room over said number; for saloons, shops, stores, offices and slaughter houses each as follows: saloons, shops, stores and offices, four (4) dollars per annum; and slaughter houses fifteen (15) dollars per annum. And all other places such rates as may be agreed upon between the said company and the owners or lessees, but all special rates or special agreements shall be at the option of said company. SEC. 9. And be it enacted, that all the said sewer pipes shall empty all their contents into the bay or thoroughfare west of the borough for the period of ten years from the date of this ordinance, and if the same shall continue to empty into said bay or thoroughfare for a longer period then the said company shall reduce the foregoing price schedule twenty per centum per annum as long as said company shall continue to empty its sewage into the said bay or thoroughfare; and that the said pipes draining into said bay, shall run into said bay as far as the main channel and shall at all times be covered at low water. Should the Council at the end of ten years from the date of the ordinance, or at any time thereafter, order that all sewerage pipes shall stop at Bay avenue, thence along Bay avenue at the grade aforesaid southward to Twentieth street or thereabouts and shall lead and empty into a well not less than twenty feet in diameter and twenty feet deep and the said company shall put in a large pump steam engine and boiler capable to pump out all the sewage that shall accumulate into the same and the said company shall put down a pipe sufficiently large to convey all sewage from the well out into Peck's Bay and emptying not less than five hundred (500) feet from the Bay shore, then the prices shall remain according to the foregoing schedule without the twenty per cent. discount for thirty years from the date of this ordinance, then there shall be a discount of twenty per centum per annum from the foregoing schedule whether the sewer pipe leads or empties into the bay, thoroughfare or sewer well. SEC. 10. And be it enacted, that the said Borough of Ocean City shall by the said com-

pany, or its assigns, be saved harmless from damages occurring from any suits at law growing out of any violation of this ordinance on account of the manner or conducting the said sewer system. And nothing in this ordinance shall hold the sewer company liable or responsible for any damages outside or separate of the main pipes or their branches to either the curb or alley lines. SEC. 11. And be it enacted, that if the said company shall not, in their exercise of the powers conferred by this ordinance, lay the pipes, mains and connections in the manner and of the size and strength prescribed, and of such material and in such manner as to prevent the emitting of gases and sewage matter; and shall not flush and keep flushed the sewer system as hereby provided, thereby continuously removing the sewage therefrom; and if they shall not provide to this Borough under this grand a reasonably good and safe system of sewerage sufficient in efficiency to conserve the public health, that then and in such cases the Borough Council shall give a written notice to the said sewer company that unless the said defects or failures to comply with this ordinance as complained of in the bill of complaints shall be at once corrected with all due diligence, and a failure to comply with such notice for fifteen days after the same has been given, then the said Borough Council may enter upon any part of said sewer plant and alter or amend or change or enlarge, or in any way adjust or change or alter so as to make such corrections as needed in the premises which are in any way a violation of this ordinance as are set forth in said notice and to do any and every thing necessary to abate the nuisance without let or hindrance from the said company. And all the cost and expense in so doing shall be a first lien on the property and franchises of the said company, and if the same is not paid by the said company within six months from the presentation of said bill, then it may col-

lected by due course of law as provided in such cases.

SEC. 12. And be it enacted, that the said Ezra B. Lake and his associates shall within thirty days after the passage of this ordinance, incorporate a company under the laws of this State for the purpose of exercising the franchises hereunder, which said company shall subscribe and assent in writing to and accept the provis-

ions hereof and which said acceptance shall provide that said company shall in no matter con-

test the legality of this ordinance or any part thereof, and that the company shall proceed wholly hereunder and shall accept this ordinance with the full and binding force of a contract, which said assent and acceptance shall be acknowledged according to law and shall within such time be filed with the Clerk or the Borough. And that the work of laying the pipes and mains hereunder shall be commenced by the first day of June next.

SEC. 13. And be it enacted, that the said com-

pany shall pay all costs of advertising this ordi-

nance according to law.

SEC. 14. And be it enacted that this ordinance shall take effect on the firstday of May, A. D. 1893. I hereby certify that the above ordinance was passed by a unanimous vote over the Mayor's veto at a meeting of Borough Council held on the Twenty-eighth day of April, A. D. 1893. H. B.
