TRENTON, March 29.-It means a
great deal to Essex county If the Legis-
lature a~djourns this week. In all there
are twenty bills which have been
backed by Newark, and most of them
are still awaiting action at the hands
OF the legislators. If Saturday means

tLey must be hustled through in record
breaking time or else the measures will
90 by default and the work of the
legal department of Newark will have
been fer nothing.
But one of the many has become a
law, that of A~semblyman Clark's to
allow Newark to expend not more than
$eo0,0oo for opening, widening and va
eating streets, The others nave either

Senate or some committee.
The Conduit bill, introduced by Mr..
Clark, was killed in the House. An
other by the same member, requiring
the doors of retiring rooms on railroad
trains to be locked While passing over
a watershed is waiting action by the
Senate, where the railroads are due to
get in their fine work on it.

Young bills that are still in committee,
providing for the acquisition of lands
for the disposing of refuse and for maxi

in committee. Roberts's bill to repeal
the act under which Newark estab-

also waiting it's fate.
Tho osteopaptlls. who have been
fighting all this session to secure the
passage of a bill providing for the APP

clares that such a bill is an absolute
necessity in order to protect the people
of this State from the practitioners
who are due to flock here from New
York and Pennsylvania, owing to the
passage of similar bills there
