Jersey City Board of Trade Will
Appeal Matter to Secretary
of War.

JERSEY CITY, Feb. 20:-At a
meeting of the Jersey City Board of
Trade last night a resolution was
adopted appointing a special commit
tee to take up with Secretary of War
Taft the proposition to close the rail-
road bridges vore the Hackensack
river during the morning and after
noon rush hours, and to request him
to deny the application of the COM
muters and the railroad companies,
on the ground that it is not neces-
sary, but is against the best interests
of the owners of property on the
Hackensack river water front. The
same rule would apply to the Passaic
river drawbridges.
The Jersey City Board of Trade is
simply backing up the efforts of the
Newark Board of Trade. 1t is vigor-
ously protesting against the PROPOSE
ton to close the drawbridges over
the two rives along the same lines as
those advocated by the Newark
Board of Trade.
The resolution was passed at the
instance of William F. Brown, repre-
senting Dodge, Bliss & Company, box
manufacturers, whose plant is locat-
ed on the eastern shore of the Hack
ensack river.

RAID ON BISHOPS LAW.
Democrats Hold Caucus and Decide to
Modify the Statute.

TRENTON, Feb. 0:-Democratic
senators and assemblymen met in
caucus yesterday and proceeded to
pick flaws in the Bishops law" The
caucus was called to consider the
question of repeating or modifying
the statute, and it was decided to
leave it to committee to draft bill
that will represent the sentiment ex
pressed in the caucus. 1t Is thought
the draft will put few holes in the
present law.
1t was learned authoritatively that
no bill will be passed by che demo-
Gratis In the house legalizing the sale
however, that the screen feature of
the Bishops law" will be modified
so as to leave the question with each
municipality. This would restore the
condition existing before the passage
of the Bishops law" and would per-
NIT the selling of liquor on Sundays
in those communities where public
sentiment was disposed to tolerate a
violation of the law against Sunday
selling.
Another proposition which was
agreed on is the repeal of that part of
the Bishops law" which provides
that in the revocation of license the
place itself cannot be licensed for a
year.
1t is understood that another
change that will be made will be the
elimination of the present require
ment in the Bishops law" that a
person applying for a license must
have lived in the license district a
year.

DROP FIGHT.
Counsel Informs Assemblyman They
VIII Not Oppose Equalization Bills.


TRENTON, Feb. 20:-If the latest
reports here are true, the long fight
that has been waged against the rail-
roads for equal taxation has been
won.
Assemblyman Charles e. Hend-
rickson, of Hudson, announced here
yesterday afternoon that counsel to
the railroads had informed him they
no longer would oppose his bills and
that they were willing to accept leg
islation under which main stem and
all railroad property except rolling
stock and floating equipment would
be taxed at local rates in the taxing
district and the taxes applied to the
needs of the districts in which the
roads operate.
The railroads, it is said, are thor
oughly tired of the struggle which
has been carried on in the legislature
for the last three or four years, in
which, in spite of a few temporary
victories, they steadily have been los
ing ground, and they want the taxa
tion question settled once and for all
"All they insist on said Hend-
rickson, 'is that all private property
be assessed at true value, and that
the burden of taxation shall not be
laid entirely on the railroads. They
want the franchise, rolling stock and
floating equipment of the roads to be
assessed as at present by the State
Board of Assessors, and the tolls to
be used for state expenses"
Mr.. Hendrickson said the main
stem taxation bills would be reported
by the committee forthwith, and that
the companion measure to these
would be reported in a few days.
