That License ,Ioner TangIe.


The position taken by Comptroller
Hough. under advice of counsel, re-
garding the appropriation of the ex-
else money for repairing streets, ap-
pears to involve very nice legal dis
tinction. but one which, we think,
after careful study of the law, will be
held just and sound by the courts. We
reprint the text of Chapter 296 OF the
Laws OF 1891 in order that the reader
may be able to appreciate the point.
Here it is:-
/. Be It enacted by the Senate and General
Assembly OF the State OF New Jersey, That il
shall be lawful In any city OF this State for the
Board having charge and control OF the finances
thereof to appropriate and set apart annual ly.
with the consent Of the Mayor, for the period
OF six years from the date hereof, out OF the
hcenss fees received In such city for licenses to
sell spirituous or malt liquors, one-half thereof
for the repavIng, repairing and improving
OF paved streets In such city, and said moneys SO
appropriated shall be disbursed, applied and
expended for such purposes exclusively by the
Board or department Of such city charged with
the duty OF paving and repairing streets, and by
no other Board or authority nor for any other
purpose whatever.
2. And be IL enacted That all acts and parts
Of acts inconsistent with the provisions Of this
that this act shall take effect Immediately
Approved April IL, 1891.
Now it will be observed that this
law is simply an enabling act. 1t says
it shall be lawful for the Finance
Board to make certain appropria-
tion; but that does not mean that an
other appropriation covering the
same ground is unlawful. 1t repeals
all inconsistent acts; but that may
mean only that 1t repeals all acts
which might make the appropriation
in question unlawful. The question
is whether an act, wsich already does
the very thing that this act provides
for doing, can be regarded as an incon-
sistent act within the tenor of the
law.
When the law was passed (Chapter
326, we mean.) nobody intended to re-
peal Clause 10 of the Charter, which
provides for this appropriation. The
Legislators. the Mayor, the Finan-
ciers, the Street and Water Commits
sioners and the public had no idea
that the Charter appropriation was
being repealed. The bill would have
met with general opposition had it
been so understood. The general un-
derstanding was that provision was
being made for the continued use of
the license money in this way after
the three year limit set by the Charter
had expired.
In express terms, this is all the law |
does. 1t does not say that the license |
money shall not be used for this pur-
pose except by appropriation of the
Board Of Finance. There is nothing
or prohibitory about it.
1t simply makes certain action
legal and repeaIs all laws which
would tend to make it Illegal
If the Finance Board should make
the appropriation this year, unques-
its action would be lawful,
but 1t does not follow that an appro-
priation under the Charter does not
hold good in the absence of such ac-
lion.
We think this is the view of the case
the courts will take

HE WAS ALL RIGHT.
Comedy Combined with Tragedy
at the Rescue of The ChimborazO.

A correspondent of the London
Daily Ne4CS, when giving an account
of the running on a rock in the Toft
Sound, Norway, of the steamer
Chimborazo, relates the following
amusing story:-The next stage
of the experience was the put
ting on OF the Iife-belts. The ladies
were many of them dressed for dane
ing, but soon their light bodices of
silk or muslin were girdled by curious
constructions in cork, which, as bod
ices, it must be confessed, were very
badly cut Stout gentlemen tried
with difficulty to struggle into the
same uncouth garments, and slim
gentlemen wearing them looked like
Falstatf's regiment of starvelings mas
querading in the panoply of war. 1t
was grotesque and horrible, ludicrous
and serious at the same time. and the
serious side OF it was always to be
found in the agonized sobs of
some of the women and children,
and in the CHASTITY paleness of
some OF the men to whom they
clung. At length the boats were
lowered in what seemed an age,
luDugn IL was Dub iWehty HluuteS
from the moment that the first left
the ship to the departure OF the last
one from her side. In that short in
terval seven boats had been lowered,
including the steam launch which
was to serve as convoy for the other
six. But the launch had TO get her
steam up, and while she was doing it
the occupants of the other craft spent
an agonizing hour in watching the
ship barely out of reach of her force of
suction If she had gone down. There
was no crowding to the boats. The
cry was Ladies' first" though some
few passengers tried to interpret it
a right OF passage for gentlemen.
The ladies themselves were partly to
blame for this. II will never leave
without my hus band,n cried one of
them as the third boat was lowered
from her side. Make Yourself easy,
my dear madam was the answer,
