DEADLOCK IN JERSEY
ON EUe of adjournment Legislators
Ignore Party Pledges.
lBy Telegraph to The tribune. !

State House Trenton April s-On the eve OF the
adjournment of the Legislature both houses were
deadlocked tonight on the very issues on which
the Republican party won its victory last tti ana
the likelihood of any party pledges being kept is
decidedly remote TIL, Senate and the Assembly
are stubbOnly refusing TO consider the bills bearing
upon the regulation Of public utility corporations,
and the Civil Service bill has been tabled. The
only semblance of keeping pledge is in the form
of a primary recount measure, which is weak and
in the hands of hostile Senate
y vigorous attempt made in the House to
pass the Robbins utilities bill The bosses thought
they had rounded up 80 votes for this measure but
when the test vote five lad slipped away
from them.
The Robbins measure up in the House on
second reading to-day. Speaker Jess took the floor
to speak for the measure. lie urged the members
to for it, and declared it carried out the party
pledges Mr.. Martin moved to substitute his bill
for the Robbins measure and told of the proceed
of the recent joint conference. He had offered
to compromise, he said. to secure the passage OF
ii utility measure. lie told the conferees, he as
. serted, that the Republican majority in the
Legislature would pass Civil Service bill and n
primary recount bill he would vote for utilities
measure without the rate-making clause
Mr.. Robbins he declared. had told him that
the Senate bill and the House ill were identical,
except for rate making. but when ne asked the
Senate to accept the House bill without the rate
making clause Mr. Robbins declined 10 do so, al
though the Attorney General mad said It would
take three years test the Robbins bill IN the
courts while the language of the Martin bill had
already been tested.
The Democrats took occasion to make several
political speeches this motion. which was ear
ried by 81 to 2S, and when the question of substi-
tuting the Martin bin for the Robbins II neasure
came up for final passage the House once more,
by vote of 80 to 19. passed the Martin bill and
sent il back the Senate
When the substitute reached the Senate Mr.
Robbins urged the postponement Of its eonsidera-
the rate fixing clause
There. was some talk tonight Cf the possibility
of some Senators weakening in their opposition TO
the rate fixing clause.
The Republican members az ;he Senate held Two
conferences to-day. which utilities, primary re-
count and excise legislation were discussed. 1t was
agreed to pass the recount measure.

BUY LIGHT, SAYS METZ
Controller Puts Ban on Munlcapdt
Lighting Plants.

Controller Metz put the ban on municipal owner
ship and operation of lighting plants yesteiuaS
after Chandler Wilmington, chief engineer OF the
Finance Department had reported to him that the
lighting furnished by the city's plant in the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History cost 10 cents
kilowatt hour. The plant was abandoned anu the
Edison Company is furnishing an equal quailty
at ga cents klowatt hour.

portionment, awaiting the Controllers sction Inc
New York Public Library wants about S'oVn Tor
lighting plant and Borough President Ahearn
wants about $4,000 for an asphalt plant The CON
troler is against both propositions but VIII assent
to the installation Of repair plants.
The library directors have purchased two large
boilers for their lighting plant. The Controller
says that is as far they will be allowed 10 CO.
the ctys experience shows that il would cost
at least two or three times much TO make the
light it would to buy it from the Edison people.
The Controller the advice of his engineers,
has decided to refuse to sanction the expenditure
of funds for lighting plant for the new Bellevue
Hospital. Mr.. Wilmington said yesterday that the
lighting company would do even a little better
than 3Ia a kilowatt hour for the hospital and
Public Library building, and as the company IS
willing to contract for OF years ne reported
TO the Controller that the city could not afford to
make its light.
Asked how the Edison Company could furnish
lighting for the Natural History Building at about
one-ffth what it cost the city with Its own plant
Mr. Wilmington said
First of all there is the of labor and its
efficiency. The company is not tied down by the
eight-hour law 1t gets its labor cheaper and there
is greater efficiency in it than i'll city paid labor
The company produces electricity by the million
kilowatts and distributes it at minimum OF eN-
