MANDATORY
BILL JOKE?
Measure Will Be of No
Use to Works Board
This Year.
NEXT LEGISLATURE WILL
REPEAL 1T, NOW BELIEVED
Law Passed April IL Says
Budget Must Be in by
''April TO-"

In vain did the Republican road
roller" ork in the legislative halls in
Trenton last night, when the Board
of ov'-- manea ~ appropriation bill
was passed. Despite the fact that the
bill became a law when the veto of the
Governor w ridden, the bill Is of
no use to either Newark or Jersey
city as far as the year 912 is con-
oerned.
The bill provides tlat 1.-THE board or
body having charge of the streets and
highways of any city may prepare a
statement or estimate not later than
April l of each year of the amount of
money within its Judgment necessary
for such fiscal year for street cleaning,
repairs .. Such statement or
estimate shall, not later than April 10
of each year. be transmitted to the
board or body having charge of the
finances of any such city >"
This clearly shows that the time for
pr .paring the estimate and the time
for filing 1t has passed. The bill be-
came law last night. April IL, day
later than the day fixed for the filing
OF the estimate.
Whether o. not the powers that be
realized that the bill is of no use this
year is doubtful. 1t apparently did not
strike them that their labers were in
Y in.
From present indications it is almost
certain that the bill will be repealed
next year. Senator Read inferred this
two weeks ago when the bill passed the
Senate on reconsideration. Speaking
of the measure after 1t went through,
Senator Read said that the bill was
nothing more than political measure
and that it was not a good one and
should be repealed next year.
The sole purpose in passing 1t at this
session, as told by the Republican SEN
ators, was to put one over on Nu-
gent" who had 'boastedp that he de-
feated the bill in. spite Of Dalrymple's
well oiled ROLLER .
This bill. while pushed by the Re-
publican members of the Board OF
Works. was attacked by Commission
ers Ryan. and Kraemer and both the
Den1bocratic and Republican members
of the finance committee of Common
Council It was bitterly attacked in
the Senate by Mr. Fielder, of Hudson,
and when it was first brought up for
consideration Senator Read said that
the bill should not pass because 1t was
purely a political one, occasioned by
the fact that the finance committee is
controlled by Democrats, and the
Board of Works by Republicans.
1t is freely admitted by the legisla-
tors that the bill will be repealed next
year, and that the two reasons for
passing it over the Governors veto
yesterday was first to be consistent
in putting it over on Nugent" and on
general principles to override the OBJ
jectians of the Governor"

The last chapter in the seashore ro-

Mr.. Branegan was awarded $1,000 for

just been written in an opinion of

lished by the Supreme Court.
Photographs of Mrs Branegan and

Jersey ForbidS
Women Voting

TRENTON, April 12.-Justice Kalisch
today handed down an opinion in the
Supreme Court, holding that the wom-
en- of New Jersey have no legal right
to vote.
He ordered dismissed a rule to show
cause why writ of mandamus should
not issue compelling the members of
the Board of Registration and Election
of Passaic township, Morris county, to
register the name of Harriet F. Car
penter, that she might be entitled to
vote.
The test case of the woman suffrage
question was carried to the Supreme
Court by Mary A, Philbrook, as coun-
sci, and on its decision rested the right
of women to vote in this State.
Justice Kalisch decided that prior
to the adoption of the constitution of
1776 New Jersey women had no right
to vote and no right was conferred
them by the constitution of 1776. In
797 women were permitted to vote,
but this was repealed by statute in
1907 Subsequent2 statutes excluding
women from voting are not in contra
vention of the constitution of 1776.
and the act of 1874 calling for a CON
stitutional convention to decide the
question excluded women from the
vote. Justice Kalisch says that the
law of 1874 is the fundamental law of
the State until supplemented by a new
constitution.
