70. The constitution requires that all
the members of the class selected for
taxation shall be included in the taxing
law, that the rule applied thereto shall
be uniform as to the whole class, and
that the assessment shall be made at the
true value of the property constituting
the class
a. 1t is within the legislative discre-
tion to create such classes upon sub
stantial basis for the convenience of eff
fecting the levying and collection of
taxes, and different methods of ascer-
tanning true value may be prescribed in
such classifcations, and, so long as the
public burden is imposed substantially
and proximately according to true value,
there will be no infrnity in the declara-
tion of the legislative will.
IS. Classification cannot lawfully be
resorted to for the purpose Of evading
the constitutional mandate. When, for
a giyen class, an arbitrary mode of as
sessment is provided, which subjects to
taxation a part only Of the true value
Of the property classified, the constitu-
tional provision is violated
''6. The twenty-nintll section of the act
Of March "a, 1890, concerning trust COM
panies P. L. 1899, p. 450), which pro-
vides that ''such companies shall be
taxed upon the amount of their capital
stock issued and outstanding" does not
mean that the assessment shall be made
at the par value of such shares, but that
the whole number of shares shall be sub
ject to taxation, and not that the assess
ment shall be made arbitrarily at the
par value, which is less than the true
value of such shares. With this con-
struction, the twenty-ninth section of the
act is valid; otherwise it would be uncon-
stitutional.v

County Counsel John Griffin has sub
mitted to DIR. John D. AIcGill. the Demo
cratic member of the Police Board, the
following opinion in which he declares
that the new hospital act is not valid
and would be upset by the higher courts
on review
August 5, 1902.
Hon. John D. McGill, Police Commits
sioner, Jersey City.
Dear Doctor-The Board of Police
Commissioners of Jersey City by law
has the care, custody and control of the
City Hospital and its property and the
funds for the support of the same.
You ask my opinion as to whether or
not you should vote to turn over the
City Hospital of Jersey City, the funds
and property in connection Herewith.
and all control thereof to the Board of
Trustees appointed for the erection of
new City Hospital.
The act under which said trustees
were appointed is entitled IAN act to
authorize cities of the first class of this
State to purchase land and to erect hos
pital buildings thereon, and to issue and
sell bonds to pay for the same, and to
create board of officials to have charge
of the same.
1t will be perceived that the title Of
the act refers:-
First. To all first class cities in the
State
Second. To the creation of a board
of officials to have charge of the con-
struction of the building and the acqui-
si.ion of lands for the purpose.
TWO REASONS.
A reading of this act convinces me
that it is unconstitutional for at least
two reasons:
First. The object of the Act is not ex-
pressed in its title.
Second. 1t is a special law regulating
the internal affairs of certain cities in
this State.
ID The object of the act is not ex-
pressed in its title. and therefore con-
travenes Article 4. Section {, Paragraph
II of the Constitution.
A reading of the title of this Act
clearly indicates that it is made applica-
bic to every city of the first class in this
State. The first section of the act, how
ever. makes it applicable only to such
cities in the State as have city hospitals
which may be unsanitary, improper or in
adequate for the purpose; it does not ap-
ply to cities of the first class which may
not possess city hospitals.
This defect seems to be in line with
the case of Beverly VS.. Vain, 70 Vr.,
143, where the title of the Act was AN
Act relating to the cost of improving
sidewalks in the cities of this State
and the body of the Act made it applica-
bic only 10 third class cities. The Court
of Errors held that the title d.l rct ex-
press TIE object Of the ass en one on
reading the t;:lc could resSdrably un-.
derstand that the bos1.y II the Act was
to have so limited an effect. and there
fore held it UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
In the case Of johnson VS.. Mayor. etc.
of Asbury Park. 81 Vi. 4aS. the same
.,ist said when the title Of an act

HEIDUCK HER DUCKY.
Housekeeper Makes a Rebate
on His Promise to Marry = n
Her.

The troubles existing between George
Heiduck and his housekeeper, Mrs. Annie
Warga, of East Twenty-second street,
Bayonne, which were aired in the Dis
trict Court of that city recently, were
brought up again this morning when Hei-
duck appeared in court in search of legal
advice as to whether his housekeeper
could prevent him from marrying an
other.
PROMISED MARRIAGE.
AS stated in "The News Mrs. Warga
sued Heiduck for wages which she claim
ed were due her for services as house
keeper. 1t was shown at the trial that
she agreed to accept reduction in her
wages from S12 to Sc per month upon
Heiduck's promise to marry her. But it
now turns out that Mrs Vargas for
mer husband is still living, and neither
She nor he has secured a divorce.
HAS ANOTHER BRIDE IN VIEW.
Heiduck therefore is uncertain what
course to pursue. He says he has an
other lady in view whom lie would marry
if he was absolutely certain that his
housekeeper had no hold upon him. Hell
duck said he had consulted a priest and
the latter told him to bring sope evil
dence from the court to show that his
housekeeper was already married.
Court Clerk Boyd supplied him with
a certified copy of the woman's state
ment.

Tic Nroa.g Boy.

a small boy on Il railroad tram can
easily get into trouble. A Detroit
man had tc leave his little son while
he transacted some business with the
conductor, says the Free Press, and,
as was natural enough, he gave the
boy careful instructions as to his be-
havior.
"Now, Willie" he said. "I'm going
to be away just few minutes. You
sit right where you are, and don't you
move bit. If you do I'll spank you
good and hard. So don't stick your
head out of the window. You might
have it taken off if you DO. Then
you wouldn't have any head, and you d
get spanking besides"
The man went away to find the con-
ductor. After few minutes he came
back.
There was Willie with just his feet
and the seat Of his trousers sticking
in through the window. He seemed to
be more outside than inside, and mora
ever, whenever a telegraph pole whizz-
ed by and looked especially close, he
would make lungc for it, as if,trying
| to catch it.
The father did not hesitate long.
lie made grab for the boy just as the
latter was making lunge for a pole.
lie pulled him in by the heels, laid
him over lis knee and began to fulfill
his promise. The little fellow yelled
and yelled until he almost drowned
out the noise Of the train; but du-
ring lull in the uproar the father
heard snicker behind him. He laid
tho boy down and turned around to see
what it meant.
There was his son, two seats behind
and across the aisle, with two fingers
in his mouth TO keep his merriment
in. The mau looked again and rubbed
his eyes, but there was no mistake.
He looked at the boy in his lap.
Behind the tears wa, face that he
had never seen before He had spank
ed some other man son.

The Bishops Prcdicament.

an interesting story of the late
bishop Whipple is contributed by one
of the clergymen in his diocese. The
bishops first wife was o strong be.
lever in dreams, and. siogularly
enough, many OF her dreams came
true. One Sunday morning in Octo-
Der, while they were at Faribault, she
aroused her husband and told him
mat her son in New Mexico was dy.
ing. She described him as he lay on
hard bed in miserable adobe hut,
and declared that his yerious condition
was due to inattcnton. She urged
the bishop to go at o9ce and rescue the
boy.
Obcdient to his wife wishes, Bish-
op Whipple went southwark as fast as
steam could carry him. At St. Louis
he found telegtam awaiting him
which read: "Trode ecd without delay to
New Mexico. Dobt waste any time.
Every moment isq precious.
! He followed directions and reached
his tepson's silg just in time. The
scene was as Mrs. Whipple had de-
scribcd it. The boy was sick unto
death on pallet of straw in an adobe
hut. What medical attention he had
received was doing him moro harm
than good.
1t was apparent that he could not
survive another day in such surround
ings. Bishop Whippie had left in
such hurrythat he neglected to bring
any more money than he needed for
his bare travelling expenses. In his
dilemma lie went to the bank and told
the cashicr--a manly young Mexican =
his story. lie needed money toket
his ION out of the country; wouldt;he

The,cashier was impressed with the
recital. "Any one can tell by Looking
at yous face" he said, "that 70, are.

that ytu speak the truth. Ishll be
glad toaccommodate you. Howmuch
