Contending that Senate bill 116,

founded on a misconception of the law;
that it exempts the Morris Canal and

Civil Service Expected to
Be Important Feature
Of Caucus.
WANT SYSTEM EXTENDED
Seme Of the AssembIymen Want
1t Applied TO Second Class
Counties as Well as Those
of the First Class and
Will Decide Tonight.

When the Democratic Senators and
the clubhouse of the Robert Davis AS
sociation in Jersey City they will md
much work cut out for them in the
consideration of the bills passed by the
Senate and the settlement of the civil
service proposition.
1t is understood that there is going
to be considerable discussion as to civil
service legislation. The Democrats,
with the exception of some of the jer-
sey City members, are entirely in favor
of the plan, and there is a decided
movement on foot among them not only
to make the proposed new law appli-
cable to f3rst-class cities, but also to
extend its ramifications TO second-class
cities.
The representatives Of the latter feel
that if the Legislation be good for the
larger municipalities II ought 20 be
good for tho smaller places. That is
the scheme II the Democrats decide
that the TIillery bill should be amended.
There is another group Of Democrats
who feel that an entirely new bill
should be drawn, fashioned after the
| lines of the home-rule civil service.
This kind of bill viii probably get the
support of the smaller municipalities
| because 1t is planned to have every
municipality in control Of It's own hoard

| the nfll. Some Democrats think that
the Republicans win kill any attempt
to pass such a bill this year, and that
1t will be better to get start In civil
service law by passing the Hillery bill
in amended form rather than make a
fight at once for the more extensive
bfli.
| One thing is almost certain, that the
majority of the Democrats favor q
civil service law, but opposition is ex.
pected from the ranks of the Hudson
County men to any civil service legis-
lation this year because the Pagan
Republicans are in control of nearly
all the municipal Offices of Jersey City,
an unnatural If somewhat extended
condition of affairs there. Discussion
alone will straighten out matters.
The consideration of the bills that
have been passed by the Senate may
take up some time. Every member OF
the House and Senate has been sup
piled with copies of the bills, as during
| the session. 2
| The members will endeavor to COM
plete their program tonight, so that they
will be able to get to work Friday In
earnest and clean up as soon as pos
