House Loses a bachelor.
Monday night a humorous incident
occurred when a resolution by Mr.. Mar
tin was adopted, reciting the fact that
Mr.. Berg of Hudson was to be married
Wednesday next. The resolution then
provided that Mr. Berg be excused on
Wednesday providing he give bond
to return Thursday He was called be-
fore the bar and presented with chest
of silver tableware by his colleagues
after several members volunteered to
sign his bond.
Among the bills introduced in the
house were:
BY Mr.. Vanderveer-M Makes 1t a mis-
demeanor to obtain credit upon false
statement on writing of financial con-
dition of purchaser.
BY Mr. Bierck- Authorizes boroughs
to make water supply contracts with
other municipalities.
By Mr.. Provides that district
court clerks after serving ten years
shall be subject to removal only for
cause.
This week Attorney General McCar
ter sent to the house his opinion as
to the constitutionality of the Perkins
bill, providing for the election of as
semblymen by assembly districts in
stead Of by the county at large, as at
present. The attorney general says:
GAS is well known, the supreme court
In an elaborate opinion written by the
late Chief Justice Depue in the case
of the state versus Wrightson held
that a statute similar to the one UNI
der consideration and providing for
the election of assemblymen by assem-
bly, districts and not by the voters of a
county at large was unconstitutional
and void l am therefore compelled to
reach the conclusion that under the adj
Indicated cases in this state the bill in
question is unconstitutional
II think it fair to say, however, that
the decision of the supreme court adj
judging this legislation to be unconsti-
tutional was not carried to the court of
errors and appeals for review, and !
assume that the present bill is intro
duced for the purpose of having that
court pass upon the proposed method
of electing assemblymen." The opin-
ion prevails that the bill win not be
put through this year, but this is I'M
certain at this time
