Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1904-01-14

tue otnstOh II ~ uOl uultAt4t tHht a
law win be adopted requiring the pres
ence Of regular policeman as well as
a regular fireman at each and every
performance at every theater in the
state, so that trained men may direct
matters in case Of fire and prevent q
panic.
Child Labor.
The storm of comment which arose
over the report of the bureau of labor
and statistics regarding child labor in
the state and the clash of that depart
ment with the department Of factory
and workshop inspection has to some
extent subsidized, and the new chief of
the factory and workshop depart
ments, Lewis T. Bryant of Atlantic
City, who succeeds ex-senator John G.
Ward of Salem, resigned, will no doubt
conduct the duties of his office along
the lines laid down by Governor Muir
ply, and no further conflict between
the two departments is feared. The
appointment of Lieutenant Bryant
who is prominent in the national guard
and a member of the New Jersey St
Louis fair commission, seems to be gem
orally satisfactory.
The legislature will be called upon
early in the session to remedy a defect
in last winters general tax laws affect
ing the state board of taxation and
raising the question Of the legality Of
its existence. The old law providing
for a state board of taxation was re
'peated verbatim in the new tax act, but
the claim is made that the old law IT.
self was repealed. This has raised the
question as to whether the repeal Of
the old law did not wipe out Of ex-
istence the old state tax board as then
constituted and make necessary the APP
pointment of new board under the
new act.
Long Branch wants new charter so
that it may be governed in an up to
date method, and it is not expected that
there will be serious objection brought
to bear in having this seashore resort
governed by the kind of charter its
residents desire. 1t is not one OF the
improbabilities that the ocean boule-
yard bill will make its appearance early
In the session, although in the minds OF
many lawmakers this proposition is so
unlikely Of elimination for years to
come that it will scarcely receive much
attention from the legislators If it
comes before them this year.
