tho business OF the State far into the night Many
| important measures we're taken up ana advanced

were finally disposed Of and the fate of others was
| settled in conference. The House Killed the TWO

arv bill which passed over the uoVe'no'

When the Two-"ent Ferrage bill came mp IN
th. House Mr.. Olcott OF Essex. opposed II on the
| ground that 1t was unjust to the ferry companies
| and was unwse legislation. Messrs. Nutzhorn
| and Gruhcr OF Hudson. made short fiery speeches
for the measure Mr.. Robertson. OF Passaic. re-
marked tina; Hu!s was not the whole state. II
happcncd that other sections against the
measure Passaic people would be damaged by
such a bill ". 9. Smith. o. Atlantic, was against
,h" bn for the same reason-it seriously affected
his section.
My skinner scored the Hudson Gclegation. lie
.ol IA, bill, should never have been introduced.
The Hudson members have injected into politics
a measure that should never have been made po-
nrr,f II is a local matter and has no place in
poll,ics he continued "Nen-Jerscy has done all
i, ,,iI for ,he,r rr-riage but the regulation OF
Interstate commerce rests with Congress and II
,ha, body GOES not act. We can do nothing more.
