SEWER ACT IN
COURT.
Counsel for Paterson De-
olares the Passaic Law
Is Special Legisla-
tion.
BRILLIANT ARRAY OF LAWYERS
Mr.. Gourley's Opening Before
Justice Pitney- Other
Side Still to Be
Heard.
lspeclal to ..rhe jersey clty News..p

Special to ''The Jersey City News'')
TRENTON, Nov. 10. 19o3.-The case
of Frank Van Cleye and the City of
Paterson against the Passaic Valley
Sewerage Commissioners came up for
argument before the main branch of the
Supreme Court yesterday afternoon
William B. Gourley opened the case for
the prosecutors and spoke spiritedly of
the alleged injustice done TO municipal
ties in sewerage districts by compelling
them to build the sewer.
There was a brilliant array of counsel
in the case, former Attorney General
John w. Grigs, Mr.. Gourley and Michael
Dunn appearing for Paterson, Richard
v. Lindabury for the Newark Board of
Trade, and Joseph Coult and Chandler
w. Riker for the sewerage commission.
Mr. Gourley maintained the legislation
for the trunk sewer was special, and,
therefore, unconstitutional, and objected
to the method of assessment. He said
the whole scheme was unjust to the
municipalities on which it had been
forced at q cost Of S9,000,e00. Mr..
GoGrley insisted that the State should
bear part of the expense, and spoke of
the ''imbecility of the legislature in pass
ing such act'
- Justice Piney asked why it was imbe-
cility for the State to order the construc-
ton of sewers for the protection of the
health of particular section.
Mr. Gourley said that. if the legisla-
nre had said the Passaic river must be
purified he could have no, objection. 1t
was the designation of an Objectionable
method of publication TO which exception
was taken.
At this point the Court decided to de-
vote the rest of theafternoon to the case,
and to set aside next Monday for the
conclusion Of the argument.
Mr.. Gourley, after his opening, then
launched into the body of his argument
He said that the fact that the act is local
is too obvious to require argument That
1t is also special is equally abvious. The
only phrase Of the constitutional clauses
worthy of a moments consideration, he
went on, is directed to the question as To
whether this is an act regulating the in
ternal affairs of towns and counties
Mr.. Gourley emphasized that this act
of special legislation cannot be justified
upon the ground that it was necessary
because no other method of reaching the
same object could be devised. He also
said it was easy to frame general act
for the government Of drainage districts
In the state, just as had been done with
reference to boroughs. Then, when
special district was created, it would
come under the same general law.
