THIS BILL A LAW,
OR is IT DEAD ?

TRENTON, July 10:-Gross care
lessness, to say the least, came to
light yesterday in connection with
the career, in the recent session OF
the legislature, of assembly bill 26S.
This bill was introduced by Mr.. Nor
gan, of Essex, and was intended to
restore spring elections in towns,
townships and boroughs. 1t was par
ticularly interesting to South Orange,
and delegations from that township
came to Trenton to advocate or OPP
pose it's passage. The bill passed the
house March IL and went to the SEN
ate. 1t was taken up there on April
5 and lost. Senator Colby, who was
looking after the bill, by hard work
succeeded on April IL, the last day
of the session, in having the vote by
which 1t was lost reconsidered by this
vote:
Ayes-Ackerman, Bradley. Colby,
Creese, Horner, Jackson, Martens,
Minch, Plummer, Price, Shinn-11.
Nay=Wakelee.
The bill was then put on final pass
age again, and, according to the OHIO
ial record, as printed on page 1888 OF
the senate journal, it was passed by
this vote:
Ayes-Ackerman, Brown, Colby,
Creese, Horner, Jackson, Martens,
Minturn, Plummer, Price, Shinn-ll.
Nays-Bradley, Hillery, Mckee,
Minch, Wakelee-5.
On this record the bill should nave
been sent to the governor as a passed
bill for his action. Instead of that,
however, 1t now reposes in the Gene
terry of dead bills in the state librar-
ian's Office marked lost, Ill.
The popularity about this bill is
that those who recall its experience
in the senate declare that it was lost
and that the error in. the case is in
the printed minutes, which evidently
has some senator recorded in favor
of the bill who was either absent or
voted against it.
The situation, however, has raised
the interesting question whether the
bill is not a passed bill on the record
and whether 1t should not be taken
from the librarians Office and given
10 the governor for his action there
on.
That cannot be determined Until It
can be ascertained whether the print-
Ia journal IS a correct copy Of the
lAnicial minutes Of the secretary.

LEHICH VALLEY
AN OFFENDER.
Railroad Is Accused of POIIutins
Delaware River at EastOn
State Authorities After Co.

TRENTON, July 1O.-The State
Board of Health has taken all the ac-
ton that is practicable with the le-
gal powers conferred on the board in
regard to the practice of dumping
garbage into the Delaware river in
and near Phillipsburg and Easton.
An investigation made shows that
the statements about the pollution of
the stream were true. State Medical
Inspector A. Clark Hunt conducted
the investigation and reported to the
board as follows:
In the city Of Phillipsburg two
places for dumping garbage have
been selected. The II which is
known as the upper dumping place
is located at the foot of Fourth
street. The second, which is known
as the lower dump, is located near
the Pennsylvania railroad at the foot
of Mill street. Both of these dump
ing places are directly on the river
bank, and a large portion of garbage
Is emptied into the river.
In addition to this, in the city of
Phillipsburg there are two large
sewers which discharge into the riv-
err. One Of these sewers is located
at the bridge which connects Phil
lipsburg with Easton, and the other
passes through what is known as the
Furnace property.
The disposal of the garbage which
is collected from the dining ears of
the Lehigh Valley railroad was inves-
tigated, and it was found that barrels
are kept in the yard for the recep-
~tionvof the garbage, and when the
barrels are filled they are carried by
the employees of the railroad company
across the Pennsylvania railroad and
dumped directly into the river. This
information was received from a per-
son who pointed out the exact point
at which the garbage was dumped in
to the river. At the time of the
inspection there was a freshet in the
river and no evidence of garbage at
this point was noted.
Garbage from the city of Easton is
carried to the foot of Spring street,
and there loaded into barrels and
placed upon a fiat boat, then the nat
BOAT is taken down the stream to q
point about opposite the discharge of
the Lehigh river into the Delaware
river, and the contents of the barrels
are emptied directly into the stream.
On the day of the inspection, as there
was a 'freshet in the river, the gar
bage was being emptied at the dock
directly from the barrels into the
river.
$<rrhhee Trsyo o. who
lives near the depot, stated that he
had never known any garbage to be
dumped from any of the railroad
bridges directly into the river, and as
his house is SO situated that the
bridges are in view all the time it is
probable that he would have noted
any such dumping at this point. In
addition to this a number of other
persons were interviewed, and no
history could be obtained to corrobo-
rate any such statement.
Secretary Mitchell, of the state
board, said that it will be seen from
THE report that the Objectionable
practice to which attention was
drawn actually committed, and the
parties responsible for these acts
we're located, and frequent inspec-
tions will be made to ascertain that
the garbage and refuse in question
is disposed of without casting it into
the river.
