In that case the Court said that the
Board of Aldermen in Paterson was
not continuous body; and that an
Ordinance opening a street failed
because 1t was introduced before the
board in 1903, and not passed until
1904, when there had been a change

Charter of Perth Amboy (P. L. 1870,
1926 section 29) requires that no
ordinance shall be enacted or passed
by the Council, unless the same shall
have been introduced before the said

Assemblyman William E. Ramsay.
OF this city, was one of the guests Of
honor at the opening of the McAdoo
tunnels yesterday.
Together with the members of the
senate and five other assemblymen,
DR.. Ramsay went to New York after
the legislature had adjourned. AT
Nineteenth street and Sixth avenue
they boarded the governors train
and rode through to Hoboken, and
occupied places in the grand stand.
Resentfng the failure of the tun-
mel managers to invite them to the
opening, members of the House OF
Assembly yesterday morning sought
to block the adjournment of the
Legislature to permit the senate and
the assembly speaker and leader to
attend the opening exercises The
result was the nearest approach to a
general ail-around conflict that has
marked the progress of legislative
work during the session.
Peace was finally declared, how
ever, and the invited guests were
given opportunity of going to the
tunnel celebration. The house MEM
bers who had not been invited took
the bit In their teeth to the extent
of going home for the week, I'm spite
of the protests of Leader Martin.
