no buster man about the State House
yesterday than Mayor Warser. He was
working to secureNthe passage of recon-
structed bill No. 1s4 This. as every citi-
zen of Jersey City knows, lis the bill
recommended by the Equal Taxation
Commission, and provides that the
amount received in taxes on second-class
railroad property shall be distributed
AMONG the municipalities I'M which the
property is located.
A flaw was discovered In the bill in the
Senate Monday night by the foxy Mr..
johnson, which necessitated the intro
drction of another bill In the House.
This was put in Monday night and jeal-
ously watched by, the Mayor. He was
on the ground bright and early and kept
the measure rolling until 1t passed the
House and was ready for the Senate.
Unfortunately that body had adjourned
for the day when the Clerk, steered by
the Mayor, took the bill across the COR
ridor. This measure. will bring to Jer-
sey City s114,000, and the people can
thank the Mayor for the work he has
done In putting the measure through.

The consensus of opinion now seems to
favor a final adjournment on Wednesday
of next week. Some of the legislators
would like to have 1t occur the latter
part of this week, but circumstances are
not favorable. The House yesterday
laid on the table a resolution fxing next
Friday as the day for dissolution. The
Senate and the Republican leaders would
Xix to wind up business this week, but. a
fractions element led by Mr.. Gledhill. OF
Passaic, insist that another weeks ses-
sion must be held, because of the large
volume Of business hat is yet pending.
The leaders have no desire to force ad-
journment as long as harmony does not
prevail on the matter.
The House held three sessions yester-
day n did much work in the shape of
passing bills. Comparatively little time
was wasted in discussing measures, and
the House moved with a business-like
air. Fox hunting or anise bag chasing
received a black eye in the House b the
passage of a bill making it a Unable Of
fepse to run hounds and horses over an
property without his consent. The
bill authorizing Jersey City to appro-
pirate $500 for a. pedestal for the Sol
dters' Monument also went through.
