Civil Service Passes.
The senate passed the Colby civil
service bill by a vote of 18 to 3, Sena-
tors Frelinghuysen, Shinn and Hand
Voting against the measure. Senator
Frelinghuysen led the attack on the
bill, claiming that it was uncalled for
and would cost the state $4,000 per
year to put into effect. Senator Colby
denied this, saying that the cost would
not exceed $4,000. He claimed that
to eliminate politics from public Office
would be worth that amount and more.
AS amended in the senate the Colby
bill applies only to the state service
and to first class cities and first class
counties Newark and Jersey City and
Hudson and Essex counties). In these
places physicians, teachers and labor
ers in public position are eliminated
from the civil service regulations. The
measure goes to the house, where 1t
will probably be passed, although a
similar measure is now pending there.
The house defeated the two-men-in-
a-cab bill, a measure which has been
coming up regularly for a number Of
years. 1t was shown that the bill as
drawn would be a detriment rather
than a benefit to the travelling public,
and it received only six votes.
Among the bills passed by the house
were the following: Preventing the es-
Enlistment of a consumptive sanitari-
UNI at Lakewood; forbidding the en-
ployment of boys under fifteen in bak-
cries; protecting oysters in Raritan
