Especial Correspondence.

Trenton, March Ex-senator
Silzer, of Middlesex, made good
speech on the bill which permits
municipalities ito send the health
officer of city to conventions of
boards OF health. He declared that
in some matters we should not be
too restricted in our ideas, and that
there had been an instance of case
OF plague being landed from a ves-
sci at Perth Amboy, but by intelli-
gent handling by Dr. Ramsay 1t had
been taken care of SO well that an
epidemic was prevented. Perth
Amboy Is willing to pay the expenses
of her health officer on a trip OF
this Sort said he, "and why not let
the city do So"
Senator Frelinghuysen objected
to the bill on the ground that II
might afford junket for some
health officer He thought they
might learn all that was necessary
from books.
Senator Prince declared that this
was not correct, and that much
would not be acquired in the way OF
valuable information except by the
man attending the conventions. The
bill was finally passed.
Previous to the passage of the bill
to permit the health officer to be
sent to a convention, the senate had
under consideration the bill proyid-
ing for free dental clinics. This
bill had the hearty support OF Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen, and he made an
excellent speech advocating its pas
