ESSEX TROOP TO
ACT AS ESCORT To
PRESIDENT TAFT
Plan Approved by Board of
Trade-New Legislative
Measures Opposed.

1t was announced at the meeting of
the Board of Trade last night by
George F. Reeve, president of the
board, that arrangements have been
made for the Essex Troop to act as
escort for President Taft on his visit
to this city on February 80 to attend
the banquet of the board. The troop
will meet him at the station and escort
him to Krueger's Auditorium, where
the banquet will be held, and will ac-
company him on his return trip.
According to the committee in charge
of the banquet $50 tickets have already
been disposed of. The hall has been
so arranged that there will be no ne
cessity of accommodating part of the
diners in the lower hall as was at
first considered.
The report of the committee on trans
portation and freight, suggesting that
all questions affecting freight rates be
left to Il central traffic bureau, was APP
proved by the board.
Many bills now before the Legisla-
ture which affect Newark were disap-
proved by the members when reported

of these were Assembly bills Nos. &c
and 6S, known as the subway bills"
The board took the stand that action
of this kind is premature. City Ell
gineer Morris r. Sherrerd attempted
? TO nave the measures referred to a spe-
cial committee, but failed.
Senate bill Nc. 40 was also disap-
proved. 1t provides for the establish
ment of industrial schools and vests
the control of the indutrial school
system in a State commission. r. c.
Jenkinson was the leader in the fight
against the measure. 1t merely meant,
n said, that the Technical School, for
instance. would be directed by a
body of Foreigners meaning residents
of other cities, while Newark paid the
cost.
The unqualified approval of the board
was given the Bachelor act" which
conserves the potable waters of the
State for the use of the people.
Other bills disapproved are Assem-
bly, bill No. 35, authorizing the recon-
struction of unused county buildings
and the issuance of bonds by counties
for such expense; Assembly bill No. Al,
validating bonds issued by any mu-
nicipality to defray the cost of sewers
connecting with joint outlet trunk
sewers; Assembly bill No. rs, author
izing common councils or other gov
erning bodies to license firemen of sta
tionary steam boilers; Senate bills Nos.
/ and IS, repeating the Alderman law
of 1909 and including the Federal pro-
vision which eliminates defense of liza
bility of fellow servants, and Senate
Till No. 2, which. is a supplement to the
crimes act.
