A NEW JERSEY STATE BOND ISSUE.

For New Jersey to engage with New York in the construction of a bridge
across the Hudson it would be necessary to Issue State bonds to raise tbs money.
The Constitution forbds he legislature to create any debt to exceed SUWO@
except fol- purposes of val or to repA invasion or to suppress surrecto
But tn Legislature can for some specific purpose like the building of a bridge
provide for a loan for thrty-hve years which loan must however, re approved
by the people at a general. election So the building of a Hudson river bridge is a
matter for the popular najortyt to decide Would it decide favorably? Pre-
sumaby the vote would be largely sectional The people Of counties remote
from the Hudson would not be inclined to favor a loan. The people If Essex
Hudson, Bergen, Passaic AM Union would generally be favorable, n these
unite scontaina larger number Of voters than all the other counties com
bined. The interest in the question being greater in the v counties a larger
percentage Of the vote would be poued than IN the other counties. In the coun-
try districts thu vote in a special election is always extremely small. The idea
thath has been advanced that a Hudson bridge bond Tissue by the State is i'm
practicable, because III people would not favor the proposition, is lot tenabe
And threi is NJ other "a by which the bridge project can be financed.
