His toast was, 'sWho will be the next
Governor" He never got chance
to pay compliment to his alleged
opponents for the shafts Of fun few
too furious. He has reached the con-
clusion That newspaper mems ton
CUES are even more pointed than their
pens.
Just word about that Eyler in
vestigation. It has been in progress
two weeks. 1t has gone over officially,
much that had been stated inoficially.
1t has discovered some new facts 1t
is very apparent that there is an Ely
Ter and anti-Eyler party. 1t W as al
most amusing to hear some witnesses
depict Mrs. Eyler as the personifca-
ton of cruelty, and others describe her
as an angel of mercy. The drift of
things lead to the conclusion that
Mrs. Eyler will have to vacate, but
will not have her character assaulted.
She will go out in the interest of har
mony within the institution and peace
all over the State.
1t looks as if the. Joint Committee
on the State Hospitals are going to
omit their visit to Morris Plains this
year. If they find time they make the
visit without bringing any other leg
islators with them. They will come
up unheralded. The Joint Commit
tees this year have not, been doing
much institutional visiting.
VISITORS FROM MORRIS.
! Assemblyman Welsh brought down
his daughter, Miss Lizzie, this week.
She was accompanied by her school
friend. Miss Phoebe Marshall, of
Brooklyn. Both are attending the
Hackettstown Institute. They visited
all the institutions and saw the very
mixed process of making laws.
A bill has been introduced providing
for the erection of a new Senate
Chamber and offices. The power is
given to the State House Commission
to go ahead. The plans were drawn
by the firm of which x-Assemblyman
George Poole is a member and it
means some hustling on the part of
Brother Poole this summer.
So far only twenty bills have been
signed by the Governor, which is
small considering the end of the ses-
sion is in sight.
The investigation of the Girls
School will end next week. Wilbur
A. Mott, of Newark, has been ap-
pointed special lawyer to prepare a
bill which will change the name of
the institution to the State Home for
Girls and it is said will change the
whole character of the institution and
place male principal in charge. The
Committee and the trustees with the
lawyer will hold conference next
Tuesday night at the school to dis
cuss the provisions of the bill.
1t is currently stated that the Nor
ris Plains Asylum managers will ask
for 1926, 900 as an extraordinary ap-
preparation for next year.
The long looked for franchise bill
has made its appearance 1t is a
long bill, providing for the taxing of
the franchise of local corporations.
1t is said to have been drafted by
Governor Voorhees,, sitting in coun-
sci, with a number of prominent law
yers of the State. 1t will no doubt
be the heavy bin of the session and
will keep the lobby very much on the
jump but it means lots of money for
cities and towns who have given away
valuable franchises.
There will be no session of the Leg
islature until Wednesday morning as
Tuesday is township election day
and most Legislators like to go fishing
on that day.
Mr.. Pitney reported on Wednesday
substitute for the game bill origin
ally introduced by him which provides
that the open season for quail, rabbit,
English pheasant and squirrels shall
be during the months of November
and December.
Snipe may be shot during March,
April, September, November and De-
cember. The law on woodcock will
remain the same as last year.
