ILLEGAL BOROUGH GOVERNMENTS.
PROPOSED GENERAL LAW TO DECLARE TIE

PRESENT GOVERNMENTS Legal AND PRO
TEcT THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
UATED SCALE FOR BoRoUGHs.
TOWNS AND CITIES.
Trenton. March 10 (SpeclaD-The Joint Commit
tee on Revision Of Borough Laws held a meeting
this afternoon and practically decided upon the
scheme to be submitted to the Legislature next
week. The scheme embraces plan by which II
Is expected that the hundred more New
Jersey boroughs recently declared without legal ex
istence by the several decisions OF the Court OF
Errors and Appeals can be rehabilitated The plan
will be to give all boroughs now existing with
de facto government legal existence under
a general law. Since the decisions Of the courts In
the Glen Ridge and Bloomfield cases and the
Anglesea case, no borough OF the State organized
under any Of the many laws except those of 1873
has any legislative authority to contrac, debt.
Neither can they legally collect or impose taxes
any individual. according to Senator Johnson. of
the joint committee.
1.-THE fact Is" said the Senator this afternoon.
''these boroughs have no government so far as any
rights beyond the preservation Of the peace, and
until the Legislature shall pass a general law they
must stand still"
Besides egazing the existing boroughs. the joint
committee will submit "A plan 10 prevent the organi-
cation OF small communities into boroughs. towns
borough will, under the law to be submitted by the
committee have TO- come , h to dhs Legislature and
Under the former laws governing boroughs 1t was
possible for a score or more people TO get together
and petition the court to order a popular election
within the territory proposed to be taken by the
new borough. This Will be done away with. The
general law that the committee Will offer will allow
The legal boroughs to assume the Indebtedness OF the
illegal boroughs and will protect the bonds oustand-
ing and those issued by the old boroughs. ,
It is also proposed to offer for the consideration
Of the Legislature a scheme for graduation for the
borouehs under the laws to be enacted this ses-
sion When the population Of a borough shall ex-
coed saw 1000, the people will have the right 10
vote on the question of whether they shall remain
nnder the general borough government system or
take one step higher and become a town When a
town shall have secured 5000 population. II VIII

From The Newark Advertiser.
Now that the Republican party is in absolute con-
troll Of the State government for the first time In
thirty years. 1t cannot afford TO initiate any OF the

pie or their local officials the control that they
presently hold the public highways.-(New-

The Trlbune's advice is only echo OF the gen.
