Trenton. March s.-The Court of Errors and Ap-
peals declared unconstitutional to-day the of
1903. under which New-Jersey proposed 10 empty
the sewage 0, the Passaic Valley into New York
Bay. by means OF trunk sewer. the estimated cost
OF which between 100000 and 100000 Ten
judges voted to reverse and Judge Cray to
affirm the Supreme Court. which declared the act
constitutional The fatal defect of the act, as
stated in the opinion OF Justice Garrison is in
i6tioH TO the method IL provides for levying taxes
20 meet the cost of construction and maintenance
The act provided that this should be done by
commission appointed by the governor. and the
court holds this 10 be unconstitutional because It
is attempt to delegate essential element OF
the power of taxation. because, II the taxing power
could be deemed to be granted to the commission
as the representative OF the sewerage district, the
latter is not political district OF the State, not
oeing invested with any function OF local govern
rnent. and because IL the Passaic Valley sewerage
district were political district OF the State. il
could not be invested with the power 70 tax per

cision sustains the contention made by ex-C-ov-

after many hard fight. Apart from the question
