condemnation, and II condemnation pro-
ceedings are taken they shall be the same
as provided by the act of April 2l, 1876, Of
which the act is a supplement. There l.
q pfoviso that no city can condemn under
the act any water 10 which any other city
Is now entitled to under any contract 10
which IL is party.
Mr. Mulione requested that the bill be
placed on the calendar at once. Mr.
Hardin objected, claiming that such ac-
tion could not be taken without a sus-
pension OF the rules.
Mr.. DAILY said that the bill was solely
for Jersey City and did not apply to New
ark at all. The Speaker directed the
Clerk to read it and Hardin said that it
sounded ali right but he preferred to
have 1t go over until this morning.
At this Mr.. Mulione became indignant
and he claimed that a water syndicate
actuated the motives OF the Newark men,
who were acting dishonesty In their op-
position to any water measure advanced
BY Jersey City.
Hardin resented this aud said that II
was the second time Hudson had at
tempted TO get a bill through without re-
ferring it.
That's an untruth. aud the gentleman
knows it," exclaimed Mr.. Boyle "The
original OF this bill was referred to the
Committee on Municipal Corporations,
AMI the gentleman knows IT,"
Mr.. Irefz, Chairman OF the Committee,
denied that he had ever had the bill in
his possession.
A Wild scene followed. Several men,
bers were on their feet making motions
and points of order. The Speaker recog-
nized Mr.. Hardin, who moved to table
the bill, which shut o q debate.
SIR. Potts objected most strenuously to
this aud wanted to know how long Hud-
son must stand the gag law which New
ark chose to force upon her. He said he
mad been on his feet calling for recogni-
ton, but the Speaker had recogniz ID Mr..
Hardin who made a motion which shut
Off debate.
A score of points of order were raised,
but they did not amount to anything, aud
the bill was finally referred to the Com
mittee Of the Whole, which will consider
IL next Monday evening.
