ANTI-TOx.N Bill FAILS

Especial to ssThe Jersey City Nsws-'')
TRENTON, Mar. Is, 1906 The
jackson bill for the establishment of a
laboratory under the direction of the
State Board of Health for the manufac-
ture and distribution of anti-toxin among
the paupers and INDECENT at nominal
cost by the local boards of health, was
defeated by the Senate yesterday after
noon by a vote of Z to 8.
Senator Price led the attack on the
bill. speaking as physician. and declar-
ing that the manufacturers of anti-toxin
were now prepared to supply the remedy
to INDECENT patients in every municipality
of the State at the rate of so cents a
dose, upon application to the county or
local boards of health. Other persons
would be compelled to pay the usual
rate of 81 to $3.50 dose, according to
the number of units
Mr.. Price showed that it would be far
cheaper and better for the State to ac-
eept such terms than to build labora-
tory which would cost from SIC, 600 to
$4,000. with an expert bacteriologist
with salary Of $1,000 year. He con-
tended that such an establishment would
cost the State at an average of $4,000
to $4,000 year.
Senator Mckee held that it should
not be necessary to wear a pauper's la
bel to obtain such an important remedy
and that it should be placed within the
reach of all.
Senator jackson was much depressed
when his pet measure was defeated.

TRENTON, Mar. Is. 1906.-The in
PRODUCTION of the Assembly redsstrict-H
ing bill presented by Leader Perkins, as
told in The News yesterday, caused a
stir among the House members who are
opposed to the plan of cutting up the
counties into Assembly Districts. No
sooner lrad Mr.. Perkins presented the
bill than Mr.. Miller of local option fame,
offered resolution calling upon the At
tofney General to give his opinion as to
its constitutionality
In speaking on the resolution Mr.. Mn
ler said that although he was not oppos-
ed to dividing counties into Assembly
Districts, he was of the opinion that it
was unconstitutional. In the case of the
State vs.. Wrightson, the Supreme Court
had decided chat the plan of creating As
sembly districts was unconstitutional ana
he therefore wanted to have the At
tcrney General render an opinion on the
Perkins measure before he gave it his

Seventh Ward Improvers
Pass Resolutions Intro
duced By Reuben Simpson
Urging the Legislature to
Grant This Relief
AND LIMITED FRANCHISE
RESOLUTIONS DECLARE THE
RAILROADS MUST PAY THEIR
SHARE OF TAX AND CORPORA
TIoNs MUST BE GIVEN NO UN-
JUST PRIVILEGES.

At meeting of the Seventh Ward Inn
provement Association last night Reuben
Simpson introduced the following relsolu-
tons, which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That the Seventh Ward
Improvement Association repeats its de-
mand for the enactment by the Legisla-
ture of an Equal Tax law which will
compel the railroads to pay just share
of the taxes and drafted in the interests
of the taxpayers. We regret that the
Legislature in the several weeks it has
been in session has been unable to pass
a measure along these lines, but instead
has wasted valuable time in discussing
measures that evidently were never in
tended to be placed on the statute books.
Resolved That this association also
repeats its demand fer the enactment of
a limited franchise law which will make
it impossible for greedy corpora tions to
secure a life lease on public property.
Resolved, That this association also
reiterates its belief that the repeal ofSthe
so-called Hillery act will be of great benz
eft to the taxpayers Of jersey City in
that it win hrevent the railroads from
minimizing the benefits that any Equal
Tax bill will bring to the city.
Resolved, That copies of these resolu-.
tons be forwar' 4 to Governor Stokes,
the President u lie Senate and members
of the Assembly
Mr.. Simpson briefly discussed the res
olutions and other members made some
remarks On the subjects mentioned there
in. The rest Of the business transacted.
was of routine character.
