EVENING STAR WEEKLY CIVIC LETTER.
BY REV. ADOLPH RoEDER, OF ORANGE.

sane asylums are all doing their best
and are filled to their utmost, n in
many institutions there are long walt
ing lists for persons who should he
taken care of who are not taken care
of, while on the other hand there are
many in asylums who should not he
there, but should be taken care of by
their own relatives and friends. Senti-
ment, prejudice, superstition, fear and
Incidence stand in the way of many
changes which must needs be made
some day and some day o
All these things are matters which
have received due thought in the past,
and concerning which many good citi-
zens of the State have some pretty
clear ideas as to what is wanted.
there will be legislation on the Nor
ris canal. The creation by the State
federation of a permanent local body
in Hudson county, to be followed by
the creation of similar bodies through
out the six counties through which the
canal flows, shows that there will be
bills before the Legislature on that
subject. Jersey City, Bayonne and
Newark will probably want the canal
abandoned, while the rest of the coun-
tlSb Will Wdkll II IldiAihdAAco. HI t8Aa
be attained by DETECTING the canal into
the Passaic river at Bloomfield.
Out of this will grow legislation 0 n
corning the acute condition of things
involved in the sale OF water out Of
the State. In fact, the water question.
both physically and morally. is the in
sistent question OF the day. And 1t will
require some legislation in which old
and revered standards will have to
come in for revision. And the question
of corporations win naturally grow out
of this one corporation and its attitude
toward the State.
1t is evident that the New Year, SO
far as the State is concerned, will be
one fraught with heavy legislative re-
sponsibilities and obligations. We trust
that the gentlemen selected to repre-
sent the people of the State will not
only maintain the good records of the
recent past, but will excel them.

called IN this instance.
With the new year comes the SEES
sion of the Legislature. and its open
ing brings with it several things of in
terest to the readers of the STAR.
One of these is the selection OF that
particular style of legislation which
is to be made the centre of activity
for the coming season, for everyone in
crested in the proceedings at Trenton
is aware that there is usually a large
mass OF legislation, much of which is
untimely much of 1t useless, much of
it patchwork and much of It local. But
after all these are sifted out there is
a remnant of material which actually
deserves consideration, and some of it
more consideration than it receives,
either at the hands of the Legislature
or of the people. And what, in the new
year, will this legislation be most like
ly to be?
Several forces are at work which Will
thrust into the foreground matters OF
a Legislative nature, all of 1t involving
steps in directions carefully thought
out and matured. 1t is evident that
there will be a women's r~eforInatory
bill, for the women of the State are
not only in earnest, but they are bet
ter organized than ever before and
they will surely concern themselves
with such bills as directly involve the
welfare of women n children. The
women's reformatory bill will be of
that nature. The child labor question
will have to be settled this year, espe-
cially as to it's school aspect. 1t is a
known fact that the age limitation as
given in the school law and in child
labor regulations Is at variance and
this point will have to be settled.
This a probably be done very
readily and a serious annoyance to
school authorities, employers of child
labor, probation officers and truant Of
ficers can be removed. The matter of
dependents will also have to be taken
up. The State does much for it's de-
pendents. It already spends one-third
of all its on it's dependents.
If things keep on it will soon have to
spend dangerously near one-half its
income on it's dependents. That this
will constitute what can be called by
no other name than a menacing con-
dition is evident on the face of it.
Something will nave to be done along
lines indicated by the wholesale prison
deliverance of the recent past. Our
prisons, our State institutions, our in

RAILROAD GONG SCORED
BY BOARD OF HEALTH,

The failure of the Erie railroad to
abolish the gong at it's Davis avenue
crossing was the cause of a heated dis
cussion at a meeting of the Harrison
Board of Health last night. Commits
sioner James A, Reid brought the mat
ter to the attention of the board.
1T is pretty near time something was
done in this matter" declared Mr.. Reid.
THE people living in the neighborhood
of tina crossing are greatly annoyed at
night by the ringing of this bell, and it
seems very strange to me that some-
thing cannot be DONE"
Secretary Pagan told the board thai
Town Counsel Michael T.. Barrett had
said that nothing could be done under
the present circumstances. Mr.. Pagan
averred that the only way he knew to
get rid of the nuisance was to sue out
an injunction against the railroad.
Mr.. Reid also complained about the
incessant barking OF a dog on Patter-
son street. A noise ordinance will soon
be drafted and passed by the board, and
steps will then be taken to modify all
kinds. Of noises in the town.
The board took no action in regard
to the complaint of John Mcdonald,
owner of the building at "a Harrison
avenue, who wrote that on account OF
defective plumbing on the sewer pipe
In front of his home when the telephone
wires were placed under ground, some
years ago, he had spent much money
in having the work properly don Mr.
Mcdonald looked to the New Yorh
Telephone Company for reimburse
ment, but was informed that he would
have to put the matter up to the
Board OF Health.
Secretary Pagan complained about 9
stagnant pool at the eastern enc Of
Hamilton street, and the matter viii
be taken up by the board at a future
meeting.
According to the report Of Mrs. Mar.
garet Mcclure and Health inspectors
Keenan,, OF East Newark. and Geissler

contagious diseases reported this

and d~iphtheria three. There were tive
