DEMOCRATS PLAN
TO PREVENT RAID
ON SCHOOL FUND
Members of Senate and House
Agree on Measure Probably
in Resolution Form.

Preservation of the State school and
road moneys is the object of a plan
being prepared by a special commit
tee appointed at a joint caucus of
Democratic members of the Legislature.
The matter caunot be submitted to the
Legislature in he form Of a minority
report BECAUSE the Democratic mem
bers of the joint special finance COM
mittee all signed the report of that
body, but it may come up as a public
statement or a joint resolution.
The leading feature of the document
will be absolute condemnation of the
various plans of Governor Fort, of Sena-
tor F~relinghuysen and the finance com
mittee to take away from the schools
any part of their present revenue, or
to cut down h money in the State
treasury intended for the State roads.
There is now $4,000 in the treasury
collected as automobile license fees
from which the nance committee
would deduct 800, 900.
The committee also objects to curtail-
ing the National Guard appropriations.
1t will recommend instead of these
measures a revaluation of railroad
properties.
1t is the opinion of the committee
that the State commissions ought to be
we'll pruned, and there may be a
recommendation for the consolidation
of the Department Of Labor and Indus
tries with the Tenement House Com
mission The members Of the commit
tee which considered these matters last
night are Senator William c. Gebhardt,
minority leader; Senatorc James r.
Fielder and George S. Silzer and AS
semblymen Mark A. Sullivan M John
D. Schade. They met in Fielder's Of
flee in Jersey City. Senators Osborne
and Harrison and Assemblyman Ed
ward Kenny were also present.
The committee may put its report in
the form Of a Joint or current resolu-
ton, have it printed in the same man.
ner as a bill and so have it become a
subject for debate. The results Of last
nights meeting will be submitted to

Protest to Be Made to Gov

A protest will be made to Governor
Fort and other State officials by the
Essex Trades Council against the print

The District Council of Carpenters
reported that Board of Health inspec-
tors had been doing carpenter and
painting work at the new hospital pa
vilion in Camden street. 1t was said
that the Board of Health had promised
not to allow any more to be one by
the inspectors.
An effort was made by Dennis Ryan,
of Linemen's Union No. 81, not af-
filiated with the council, to have School
Commissioner charles P. Taylor, u
member of Electrical Workers Union
No. So, denied membership of his or
g%anization on account of ho,,ling a

To NEWARK TODAY
UNLIKE OLD ONES
Only the Rev. DR.. Charles L.
Mead Expected to Meet Him
at the Station.

William Jennings Bryan will visit
Newark today. Six months g he
would have peer welcomed by a big
committee with brass bands and red
fire. The election is over, however, and
just one a the Rev. DIR. Charles l..
Mead, pastor of the Centenary Meth
odist Episcopal Church, will greet the
Great Commoner'' at the railroad sta
ton.
h occasion of Mr.. Bryan's visit to
Newark Is his lecture on The Prince
of Peace" tonight at the Centenary
Church. The big edifice will be en-
tirely filled, Notwithstanding the one
man welcome, for every seat has beer
sold and many applicants have peer
turned away.
While in Newark Mr.. Bryan will be
DR.. Mead's guest. The latter will be
advised today. by telegraph, of the
hour, when the Great Commoner" is
expected to arrive. Mr.. Bryan lee
tured in Harrisburg, Pa, last night,
and is scheduled to come from that
city direct to Newark. Tangled rail-
road schedules. not yet rid of the dents
made by the big storm, may have de-
layed him. The expected telegram had
not been received at / o'clock this
afternoon.
The Nebraskan Will not tarry long
In Newark; in fact the shortness of his
stay will preclude any plans for a re-
ception. Immediately after delivering
his lecture he will cave Newark &c
keep another engagement.

$4,000 IN BONDS
FOR OPTIONS ON
MEADOW LANDS
Issue of Temporary Indebted
ness Is Authorized by
Council. .
FIRST REAL STEP
TOWARD DOCK PLAN
Action Last Night Does Not
Commit City to Great
Project.

The first step toward the building of
city docks and a ship canal across the
meadows into Newark was taken by
last night. Comptroller j. Henry
Bachelor was directed to issue 10000
in temporary loan bonds for the> use
of the Board of Works in closing OPP
lions for meadow lands in the line OF
the proposed ship canal and city docks.
In fact, this action does not commit
the city to the scheme, but the pro-
moters of the scheme consider that 1t
will prove the entering wedge, while
those who are undecided about the adj
visibility of the project realize that
the land will prove a good investment
in any event.
Besides the 100000 appropriation,
the use of the Mayor in getting an ex-
pert to investigate and make a report
to him on the whole project. AL
though this has not yet been done, the
purchase of 100000 worth of meadow
land was authorized with a view to
determining as far as possible the
value of about 800 acres more of land
which will be needed. This informa-
tion will be of value in the condemna-
tion proceedings.
The city was authorized to spend not
more than 81, 900, 900 for the canal and
docks at the election of 1908. a refer
endum under the Lane dock bill. There
was a comparatively mall number of
votes cast either for or against the
proposition, however, so in order to
assure the legality of the project City
Counsel James r. Nugent brought q
friendly suit, which was decided i'll
favor of the canal scheme by the Su-
preme Court last month.

OF BRANCH
BROOK PARK SPAN
IS AGAIN IN COURT
Builder Is Still Seeking to Place
Responsibility for Extra
Work.

There was another move in the trial
of the old action brought by the Essex
County Construction Company against
the Essex County Park Commission in
the Supreme Court circuit before Judge
Adams today, where exhaustive arsu-
ment was heard on a motion to strike
out pleas. The court directed counse
to turn in their briefs and will decide
after perusing them.
The action is OF long standing ana
involves $50, 000. The plaintiff built the
Park avenue bridge in the Branch
Brook Park section, and after it was
up, according to the company, the com
m%issioners allowed the water to be
turned on in such a way that it dam
aged the structure and entailed much
extra work.
Cecil Mcmahon argued on behalf OF
the plaintiff, while former Circuit
Court Judge Francis Child, who mas
been appointed special counsel to look
after the interests of the county, ap-
peared for the defense.
