DOING MUCH DAMAGE

High water in the Passaic river,
of the Commonwealth Light and
Power Company, of Summit, and de-
prive that city of light. The power
house is on the bank of the river just
at a point where two huge ice gorges
have formed and are ready to break
through at any time. Should they
break suddenly the water will flow
into the station.
Several bridges are also menaced
by the huge ice foes that are drift
ing down the swollen river. Several
houses along the banks are sur
rounded by water and ice and many
of them are submerged. 1t is feared
that the large Franklin mills will be
completely destroyed. Stanley dam
has already been swept away and it
is estimated that at least 200 tons of
ice blocks have. been piled up in the
gorge above the Stanley bridge. Traf-
fic has been stopped over this bridge.
The bridge is new, but it has already
been moved several inches.
Other towns in the neighborhood
of Summit are partly flooded. In New
Providence river has overflowed
it's banks in several places and num-
-ber of smaller buildings are partly
submerged, and many of them will
have to be abandoned If the water
rises much more A large tract of

CONSTITUTION AND
RAILROAD MEASURES

TRENTON, Mar. 19:-Asesmbly-
man Sullivan. of Hudson county.
made for the democrats last night
the first move for the holding of a
convention for the remodeling of the
state constitution, the idea being to
accomplish this instead of adopting
the numerous amendments now
pending. He introduced concurrent
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of a committee of three sena-
tors and three assemblymen to draft
a bill for presentation to this legis-
lature for the holding of constitu-
tional convention.
Among the house bills introduced
was one by Senator Buxton, of Nor
ris, for the regulation of power boats
above tide water and one by Asesm-
blyman Groel, of Essex. for the es-
tablishment of a school at the state
prison.
Assemblyman Wrights bill pro-
viding for the creation of a state
railroad commission came up on
second reading last night and was
torn to pieces by amendments offered
by the committee on railroads and
canals. There was a lively fight on
the amendment providing for the
election of the railroad commission
ers by vote of the people instead of
their appointment by the governor.
The republican leader, Mr.. Barber,
resisted this move declaring that it
was doubtful if the people would take
sufficient interest in such commits
sion to elect good men. The demo-
cratic majority prevailed, however,
and the amendment was adopted.
The measure will now be reprinted
for third reading. Its form has
been greatly modified by the action
of the committee. Part of the ex-
pense has been eliminated and other
radical changes have been made.
