Little Fuss About Him, but Senator
Ohver H. Broom Accomphshes Things
Trying Now to Develop the
Coast Resorts with His Ocean
Boulevard Bill.
WHERE have been times this year

THERE have been times this year
when the State House looked
like a mass-meeting of Mon
mouth county residents. You couldn't
go into any part of the building WITH
out finding some one you knew from
along the shore. And all you could
hear talked about was road, road, road,
for every last one of them had gone
over to Trenton to see why the Legis-
lature had not passed or was not pass
ing the ocean boulevard bill, Which
would give them a highway along the
ocean front from the Highlands all the
way south.
The excitement emanated from SEN
ator Oliver H.. Brown, of Monmouth.
He introduced the bill and then sicked
the populace of his county on the Legis-
lature and trusted that things would go
well. AS a rule, Mr. Browns measures
usually deal with health matters. I'm
pure milk Is an abomination in his eyes,
While ice that isn't double distilled pur-
ity eXcites him TO instant legislation.
Another source of bills to the senator
from Monmouth is the habit of con-
solidation, annexation and creation that
is one of the characteristics of his
county. Every year a flock of towns
and townships decide that they don't
like their present company and either
want to be divorced or to join forces
with some equally discontinued neigh
Dor. The result is that when Senator
Browns bills are all in and the ma
1ority of them passed there has TO be a
general sorting out of postoflice adj
dresses and people who left the shore
last year with the intention of returns
ing to the same place TO spend next
summer come to And that they are IL
an entirely different place than the
one they expected.
Senator Brown, though he comes
from Spring Lake, spreads himself
pretty much all over Monmouth coun-

RICHMOND PEOPLE
ARE NOT PLEASED
They View with Contempt the
Work Accomplished by
the Legislature.
VERY FEW BILLS PASSED
NOT MANY or THE MEASURES
BROUGHT UP HAVE EFFECTED
THIS CITY Gas PUMPING BILL
MOST DANGEROUS.

Local opinion Is not very favorable
whom expressed toward the present
legislature. Many men in public life
who have expressed their views de-
clare tho present legislature will have
proved the least vauled Of any that has
convened in many years. Up to the
present time the legislators have done
practically nothing. This Is the last
week Of the session and practically the
only real important measure that has
been able to slide through has been the
repeal Of the metropolitan police law.
This was platform measure with the
Democratic party.
Will Strip II Bare.
Il n expected that when the legisla-
ture adtourns the customary scenes
will be enacted and several thousand
dollars worth Of states property will
be carried on by the law makers and
the employees Of the two bodies. Every
thing including cuspidors and waste
paper baskets will be confiscated and
tho senate and house chambers will
look ~ Il typhoon had swept through,
when the law makers catch the last
trains Tor Podunk and Squash Valley.
The Legislative halls have been the
rendezvous for many local citizens this
session and It IL probable more Inter
estod spectators have attended than
at any previous session. There have
been few bills that required any work
Of local lobby. The COCHRAN gas bill
was shout the only one to attract at
tention and necessitate work OF this
Kind. No attention was paid to the
police law repeal measure.
