Norris Makes Statement.

Governor Norris last Thursday is
sued a statement to the press with
reference to his attitude on the call
ing of an extra session OF the legis-

election law He stated that he would
be perfectly willing to call such ses-
sion if he could be assured that, once
assembled, the legislators would
really pass law. However, the gov
ernor has received no such assurances
and for that reason is loath to put
the state to the extra expense OF a
session, which might again adjourn
without having accomplished the pur-
pose for which it should be called.

EDUCATION BOARD
D~EADLOCkED OVER
HIGH SCHOOL SITE

Deadlocked in a tie vote for the john
son avenue and Avon avenue sites for
the new South Side High School, and
hearing objections to both sites from
citizens, the Board of Educators COM
mittee on buildings, grounds and sup
plies was again unable last night to
come to a decision and voted to post
pone the matter for two weeks. AL
though they were equally divided as to
the choice of the two sites available,
the commissioners were unanimous In
the opinion that neither of the two
was all that could be desired.
The commissioners registered them
selves in this way: For the Avon
avenue site, Messrs. Taylor, Brue-
mig. King and Tomkins; for the
johnson avenue site, Messrs. Taaffe.
Guild, Belfatto and Brown. With this
tic vote it was decided best to lay the
matter over pending a further personal
inspection of the locality by every mem
Der of the board.
Before the matter was really taken
up by the site committee the members
said they would be glad to hear from
residents in the locality and others
interested who had heard that the
plot at Clinton avenue and Clinton
place had been fixed upon. Opinions
we're heard from Louis Schlesinger.

UTERS WIN
IN ORDER ISSUED
BY STATE BOARD
Roads Touching Jersey City and
HObOken Must Sell COM
mutation Tickets.

TRENTON, Oct. 4.-By a ruling
handed down by the Board of Public
Utility Commissioners railroads oper-
ating in New Jersey between Jersey
City and Hoboken and other points In
the State must on and after December
l sell Communication tickets to those
places. The tickets must designate the
starting point and destination, and the
railroads must publish the rate for
such Communication as well as file a
copy of it with the board in Trenton.
The order is a result of the inyesti-
cations of the commissioners in their
effort to determine whether Jersey City,
Hoboken and Camden were discrimi-
mated against by the railroads. 1t was
found that Camden enjoyed the COM
mutation or special rates. The investi-
cation was begun on the initiative of
the board and the New Jersey State
Commuters Association was admitted
later as a party to the complaint.
Although the board did not grant
the request of the compliments to de-
termine whether the rates were reason
able, 1t left the way open for further
proceedings by ordering that the rates
BIO published and a copy sent to the
board.

MEASURES OF CHESTNUT
VENDORS CONFISCATED.

For violating a city ordinance which
prohibits the selling of nuts, fruits and
vegetables by liquid measure several
arrests we're made throughout the CEN
trail part of the city yesterday after
noon by City Sealer Sullivan and his
assistants. Those who were first
offenders were punished simply by the
confiscation of their measures, but
there we're several cases in which the
offenders were on record last year.
Prosecution will follow, the penalty be-
ing $50.
Most of the vendors were chestnut
dealers, who buy the nuts by weight,
sixty pounds to the bushel, and sell
them by the quarter or half pint, pint
and quart. In a dry measure there are
67.21 cubic inches to the quart. while
the liquid measure has but $3.50 cubic
inches.
