Leader Mark A. Sullivan, the Asscrl
bly, last night passed a bill a%ppropria-
ting 5000 to remove distractions in

needed for it's care.

the bill was introduced last winter the
principal sufferer from the ice gorge
was the Pennsylvania Railroad Com

bill, denied it was in the interest of the
railroad.

Citations who are refused permits by
local boards of health to locate in
municipalities, instead of appealing TO

spent $3.50, 900 and has been refused a

him a newer Hillery law repealed the
old one. Heck feared the new bill
would be unconstitutional. Governor
Stokes said he had no fear about that,
and refused to sign the repeater, as 1t

statute books. what | said then has
come true" remarked Heck, who
promised to hunt up the new repeater.

Bills vetoed.

Bills vetoed.
Both Senate and House bills were
vetoed by the Governor last night.
Senate bill No. 70, to control the ex-
tradition power of the Governor, he
said, was unconstitutional.
The Governor saw no justice in SEN
ate bill No III, to pay 81, O53.45 to Oscar
Duston. He claimed to have paid the
money as direct taxes to the United
States Government under an act of 1861.
The Governor thinks a bill leaving the
matter to the Governor, Comptroller
and Treasurer would allow better Of
ascertaining the legality of the claim.
The Governor said he had examined
receipts given for the payments by Mr..
Duston.
House bill No. l was also vetoed.
This provides for requirement Of
bridges over the Delaware River by
New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He says
the act is crude and incomplete. He
suggests a commission to ascertain the
value of the bridges and in the mean
time for the States to fix the rates to
be charged.
Another VITO was sent in with Senate
bill No. 81, which would give money to
prisoners discharged from State prison.

Professor Thompson would have two
experts named by the Governor to APP

Hendrickson, jr., OF Hudson, and o. C.
Bogardus, of Red Bank. The latter are
new men, taking the places of Stephen
