new PENAL LAW

The Organization Aid Society gives out
the following statement:
An important measure passed the As
sembly last night, which vii effect the
taxpayers of Hudson County. Assembly
II provides that county and city judges
may henceforth comit disorderly persons
to the penitentiary, if they choose, rather
than to the county Jail. As at present
interpreted the law does not empower
judges to send such persons to the peni-
tentiary wher they can help pay for their
own food and shelter, but eompels their
commitment to the county jail where they
spend their time in idleness. If this law
should pass the Senate, and if the judges
should avail themselves of the new pow
ers granted, both city magistrates and
and disorderlies'' and minor offences to
Snake Hill where the county jail which
would mean not only saving of several
thousand dollars a year. which these
prisoners might earn at the penitentiary,
but also real punishment of theofend-
ers.

$50 feet north of Bramhall avenue to
and connecting with sewer in Bramhall

A numerously signed remonstratance
was received against the proposed CON
struetion of sewer in Covert avenue,
because of the refusal of the Erie Rail-
road Company, which owns a number
vacant lots on one side of the thorough
fare, to share the burden of expense.
The board directed that no further action
be taken in the matter.
An application was received for the inn
prevement of Clark street.

ment was s55,oa5.
In addition il petition from the zeny
Council is still pending before the F4ee-
holders for maeadamizing Of Schuyler,
Midland and South Midland avenues in
that town to connect with the 1selleyille
Turnpike for a continuous improved road
from Jersey City to the Passaic River.
The only Objectionable feature Of the
road for automobilists is the grade CROSS
ing OF the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Hailroad and it is understood

obviated by the building Of a steel via

has been made to the Hudson Free
holders. it is believed that many Of them
would be favorable to having the county
relieved of the burden of improving and
maintaining highway which they con-
sider would benefit comparatively few
outside the Arlington Cemetery Corpor-
alton. For many years the Freehouders
resisted every effort made by parties in
trested TO saddle the old road Oh the
County and finally they only consented
in the strength of the claim Of the Kear-
ny Council that West Hudson had paid
part of of the cost Of the
County's boulevard system but was re-
ceiying no benefits because of the lack OF
a connecting road.
If the parties now negotiating, Will
agree to improve and maintain the road
with only reasonable limitations to the
traffic that will be allowed over It'll, the
Freeholders think that it would be good
investment.
Its understood that definite PROPOSE
ton in relation to the matter will be sub
nitted to the Freeholders at their meet
ing on Thursday, March 8, and in some
quarters it is said that the delay in ap-
proving the plans is due to the desire to
time to get the offer in shape.
AS a highway to New York the Belle
vile Turnpike is over two miles shorter
for residents of Montclair. Bloomfield
tic, than the Newark Turnpike.

AN ESSEX COUNTY MOVEMENT

Backed UP many wealthy automobil-
lists, residents of this state, a movement
has been inauguratod looking towards the
purchase from the county Of the old Bell
eyiile Turnpike, across the NKearny mead

driveway. In the event of allure to Sc
cure the road as private property, efforts
will be made to induce the Hudson Free
holders and State Road Commission to
alter the already prepared plans for the
Improvement Of the road in question to a
greater width than the 20 feet proposed
by the specifications now in the hands
of State Road Commissioners.
The advocates Of the scheme are main
ly residents of Newark, Montclair,
Bloomfield and their suburbs, doing
business in New York, and woh want
to secure road across the meadows for
automobile traffic free fronl the objection

and Newark Plank Raod. The negota-

representatives of the Artomibile Club of

citation, at 1853 Fifth avenue, New YORK,
and include among their members many
residents of Essex and adjoining coun-
ties.
The idea is not to hmit the use OF the
road to automobile traffic but to obtain
possession of a highway 50 that it can be
restricted against trolley cars and heavy
