COYLE'S TWO BILLS

Special to 'tThe Jersey city Naws.'')
TRENTON, March 6, 1906. Assem-
blyman John J. Coyle, Of Jersey City,
presented two important bills at this
mornings session of the House. One is
aimed at the mortgage loan companies
and seeks to prevent them from charging
more than six per cent. interest and linn
its the sum that can be charged for legal
fees.
a similar measure was introduced by
former Assenblynan Birkholz, of Essex,
fbut after being passed by the House if
lnysteriously disappeared in the Senate
After an Investigating committee was ap-
pointed to search for it. Senator Wood
Mckee, of Passaic, suddenly remembered
that he had left the bin at home. It
was then FOO late for the Senate to take
action on it.
The second bill introduced BY Mr..
Coyle provides that weekly sums ordered
paid by a husband to support his family
may be paid by the employer Of such
husband when served with a copy of
the courts order and in the event Of the
employer Withholding these moneys when
served with the courts order, he shall be
resnonsible for payment.
