has decided that the act Of 1908, provid-
ing for the division of certain town
ships into wards was constitutional and
also that the commissioners who divia-
60 Woodbridge township into three
wards acted legally under the law. The
doctor says, aHe laughs best who
laughs last.n
1t is understood that petitions have
been presented to Governor Wilson ask
ing for the appointment of seven mem
bers OF the township committee, on the
ground that dividing the township into
wards legally ended the terms of those
who are now acting as members of the
township eoRmittee and that there
should have boon an election by words
in November last.
The governor has submitted the pa
.pers 10 Attorney General Wilson.
Perth Amboy is having q controversy
as to who is the legal acting mayor.
The question is likely to be raised,
: who will be chairman Of the Wood
bridge township committee under the
act Of 1906g' The general impression
is that the member at large will Us
chairman. But this is somewhat doubt
full as the act of 1906 does not make
such a provision, while the acts Of 1908
and 1911 do. AS Woodbridge viii be-
governed by tho act Of 1906 it would
seem that the seven members can elect
"a chairman.
Some taxpayers have been told that
increasing the membership OF this
township committee will increase town
ship expenses. This has been set IN as
a scare crow. With a committee elected
by wards and each section Of the town
ship properly represented, the members
can be held to a closer accountability
than II elected by the township at
large.
The ward members viii be moro IN
touch with their constituents and moro
careful in their official acts. This win
lead to greater economy in public ex-
Ipenditures and be Of benefit TO the sax.
payers
Under ward elections a candidate jm
one ward can do very little to help
elect his friend in another ward. III
an election by the township at large
candidates having the same ends 10
gain can help each other without any
regard to their. political affiliations.
This has ben done frequently. Ward
representation should not be looked
upon as either a personal or political
movement. In many respects il Is pre-
Iferabie to a commission form of gov
eminent.

Against Tenants.

special 20 tHc bHN1NG W. "o~
South Amboy, Feb. 17:--Thc police
court was in session at the city hall
the greater part Of yesterday afternoon.
There were two cases being tried. Both
were brought by John Qninlan. Two
of his tenants were the defendants.
One was for assault and battery and
the other was for malicious mischief.
The assault and battery case was
brought against Anna Kosmoski and
Veronica Takoski. After they had
moved in, Mr.. Quinlan noticed that
their stove was in poor condition. He
loaned them one of his. A few days
ago, as they were moving out, Quinlan
discovered that they we're about to take
his stove with them and asked them to
desist. Upon refusal, Mrs. Kosmoski,
assisted by Mrs. Takoski, set upon
Quinlan and Mr.. Maggie, whom Quinlan
stove back In his premises. The WON
en- welded a club effectively and also
punched Quinlan in the jaw.
The case of malicious mischief was
for damaging the house. The rent for
the house was 81 per month and as they
had started on the month of February
they had five dollars on the February
rent which they wanted returned. AS
this was refused they demolished some
shelves, broke the walls and disfgured
the paper. The judge held them for
bail and In the meantime Kosmoski set
tied the matter with Quinlan by paying
damages. Quinlan then withdrew the
complaint and the defendants were dis
charged.
