/ Assemblyman Garrison is reconcil-
ing the fourth estate and the legal
Ishmalites for he is standing sponsor
for a number of legal bills this SEES
sion. Two weeks ago he passed the
bill which prevents near relatives Of
justices practicing in his court, and
lately he "put i'm bill which fixes
a nominal fee for the Supreme Court
examiners, who come to Trenton, to
examine the qualifications of the
young men who want to be lawyers
1t is argued that councillors of law
are asked to spend two or three days
a term in Trenton, trying to find out
how much the disciples of Blackstone
do not know: The State. gets from
three to five hundred dollars a term
and they could readily pay an exam
liner $50 session. Many of the law
yers of Morris County are favorable
to this measure.
/ Senator Pitney is evidently favor
able to track elevation in Newark,
because he voted to sustain Senator
McCarter in his fight to secure the
passage of his favorite bill, which
provides that the tracks must go up
SO that the railroads will not grind
thirty to forty people to death each
year. The railroads are anxious to
elevate, but it is apparent that the
cost is not satisfactory. Newark. is
willing to pay % per cent. of the cost,
or in round figures to pay $500. 600 for
the elevation. The railroads, how
ever, defeated the bill. and it looks
now as if the track elevation pro-
: position is dead for this session.
!; The bill to secure boulevard along
; the Atlantic coast from Deal to Spring
Lake and Sea Grit is of general State
, interest throughout the State. There
, was a hearing on Wednesday and
, many strong arguments were pre-
sented. The mayors of Asbury Park,
Bradley Beach and Spring Lake were
on hand to emphasize the fact that
the boulevard was needed to make
seashore driving pleasant summer
recreation. Many prominent citizens
also appeared for the bill, and the only
opposition came from Rev. A. E.
Ballard, vice-president of the Ocean
Grove Camp Meeting Association,
stated that he alone had the right to
say whether Ocean Grove did or did
not want the driveway. His opinion
those who choose to drive up and
down the coast could do so without
the proposed boulevard. A driveway
of the kind that is proposed would
open the place to promiscuous public
racing and destroy the religious char
acter of the place
The Girls Industrial School trouble
does not seem to settle. Mrs. Eyler
is still at the head of the institution.
Miss Vanderveer, the matron, has re-
signed under some mysterious emo
tons She was regarded as Mrs.
Eyler's first lieutenant, but she has
been overcome with nervous prostra-
ton and she goes ON record as retir-
ing from that cause. The investigation
continues in progress Mrs. Eyler is
scheduled to go on the stand on Mon
day of next week. The bill to provide
a new name and new government
for the school is still being tinkered
with and will be introduced early
next week.
The teachers salary bill has been
amended. While this bill applies to
Jersey City in particular, it is general
in it's force if adopted by various To-
calities. The amendments allow the
same salaries to female teachers as to
male teachers of the same grade.
The popularity of the stone road
cause was attested yesterday, when
the bill to increase the salary of the
State Road Commissioner from 81, 500
to 50, 800 passed the Senate. The in
crease was urged on the ground that
the duties of this official have in
creased two hundred per cent. during
the past four years. The Democrats
opposed the increase and voted against
the bill.
Senator Reed has introduced bill
changing the Board of Trustees of the
Village of Epileptics. The board now
consists of six members and in the
future it shall be eight. The two new
trustees are to be divided as to poll
tics and in the future all the appoint
ments to the Board shall be for four
years.
There was an animated debate in
the Senate over Assemblyman Wright s
bill to permit farmers to shoot on the
spot dogs who worry poultry. Sena-
