hefore the session opened that they

for final passage. Senator Everett Col
by. who introduced the bill before the
Senate, said:
1.-The urgent necessity for the pas
cage of this measure is so apparent,
and the facts regarding the case are so
we'll known that I need say but little,
cannot believe continued Senator
Colby. that any member of this Sen
ate will oppose this biz.
This measure has been sorely needed
in Essex and other thickly settled dis
tricts of the State for years past. Other
sections of the state also favor this
measure. but the cocaine evil exists 10
greater degree in those cities which
have slums
.'Sheriff Sommer has done good and
needed work in Newark and Its en-
virons in exposing the cocaine evil. and
has proven by his exposures that the
present law is inadequate, The fact
that Sheriff Sommer drafted this bill
and supcrintended its career before the
Legislature speaks for itself and the
merits of the bill.
