Trenton, Feb. 4:-The New jersey
Anti-Saloon League, through Senator
Smalley, of Somerset county, lhtro-
duced in the senate last night a Dill
which il it shall become a law Will
have a most important bearing upon
the granting of all liquor licenses.
The measure prohibits the granting
of liquor licenses unless there be
filed with the application therefor
the written consent of the owners
of property in the neighborhood OF
the building in which the liquor
traffic is to be conducted.
In towns, %boroughs and cities
there must be filed with each appil-
cation for license the written con-
sem of a majority of the owners OF
property abutting upon the same
highway within two hundred feet OF
the building to be licensed. In town
ships the provision is hat it shall be
unlawful to grant any license unless
at least nine of the freeholders who
must sign the application under the
law, shall reside within one mile oil
the building to be licensed, the meas
urement to be In a direct line.
DR.. Edward L. Stearns, superln,
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
gave the bill to Senator Smalley last
night and after its introduction said:
1.-The too frequent custom of licen
sing saloons without regard to the
interests of property holders in the
vicinity works a great hardship, IN
that 1t forces nuisances upon unW1ll-
ing n%eighbors. 1t is an outrage 10
force a dram shop which the courts
recognize as a nuisance and a chlei
source of crime and misery, with its
attendant disorder and drunkenness,
upon any such unwilling ~neighbors'
The renting and selling of property
in the vicinity is sure to be reduced
thereby"
DR.. Stearns also had an amend
ment to the assembly bill now pend
ing In the senate providing for the
regulation Of dance halls In connec-
ton with saloons. The amendment
prohibits any such dance hall unless
a special license shall be obtained
therefor. The Anti-Saloon League
will ask for a public hearing on this
bill before it is reported in the SEN
ate in an endeavor to make it more
stringent.

members OF Defender Hook & Lad
der Company No. 7, of Castleton

GOVERN
FIRE JAN|TORS
Council Make Restrictions
Some TO Sprinkle Streets

Rules governing ~janitors IN hre
houses were put In force by adoplloh
of J resolution at the meeting OF tne
c~o,ncil last night. They proVlde
that janitors with the exception oI
these in Protection Hook d Lauuer
Company's headquarters, shall splII
kle streets when directed ana al
ianitors shall exercise fire horses at
least once a day. They will become
effective at beginning of next month
Under the rules, which were adop-
ted several months ago, f~irehouses
ianitors are required to sprinkle
streets when directed to do 50 by the
street commissioner. For this WORK
they will receive fifteen cents an
hour in addition to their regular
monthly pay. Because the Protec'
ton company has three horses to
handle, a heavy apparatus and Is re-
ouired to answer many alarms, lts
janitors are exempt from sprlnKlnS
duty. Where there are two janltors
in a house, they will alternate In DO
ing street sprinkling work. FIRE
horses must be exercised only within
their respective districts.
Alderman John ]. Clark raised 8
question about the appointment OF
janitors in city hall and police head
quarters. He was not aware that &
resolution to have a janitor in CHIEF
and two assistants, to receive $50 a
month each, was adopted on Janu'
airy 20. He was under the impress
sion the measure had been lost to-
gether with one intended to officially
make John A. Mason ~janitor in chief,
which was lost by a vote Of three tt
three. AS matters now stand, there
is no officially appointed chief n
no officially appointed assistant jan.
itors in city hall and police head
quarters.

CRUDE OIL PRICES
TAKE A BIG JUMP

Special ~ Dn,tt PR" Wtrs.
Pittsburgh. Feb. 4.-Crude Oil was
advanced seven cents today the price
being $2.47 per barrel. Five seven
cent advances were made last week.
Independent oil men today claim to
see in the spectacular rise OF thirty
five cents in the price Of the oil last
week, an attempt Of the Standard
Oil Company to squeeze the indie
pendents between advancing oil
prices and a stationary price of Oil
products. The Standard, they claim.
set the prices for crude oil and In
many instances they have to pay
more than the Standard to get the
crude oil. They state they are un-
able to realize higher prices for their
products made from crude oil. The
Standard price on such being sta
tionary and thus they will eventually
squeeze out OF business.

BILL WOULD INCREASE
INCOME OF COUNTY

New Brunswick, Feb. 4:-Middle-
sex county's annual income will be
increased $18,170 by the passage of
a bill now before the legislature,
providing for a bank tax Of one per
cent, similar to that now in effect
in New York state.
This tax is levied on the capital,
surplus and undivided profits of
banks, regardless OF n~on-taxable Sc
curities. The bills passage is re-
garded as practically certain.
The present method of taxing
banks is to deduct from their valua-
ton the government, municipal and
other non-taxable securities they
hold. 1t usually occurs that by May
20 of each year. practically all their
holdings are converted into these
securities, and no tax is levied on
them.
AS Middlesex county's banks at
present total $~1,817,000 OF capital
stock, surplus. and undivided profits,
a one per cent. levy would result In
the addition each year of $18,170 to
the county income. which addition
would not fall far short Of being
welcomed with open arms.

AUTOISTS TO OPPOSE
BILL IN LEGISLATURE
fFron, the NEWS Correspondent,

Trenton, Feb. 4.-The opposition
to the automobile laws proposed by
State Motor Vehicle Commissioner
Lippincott will be organized at a
meeting of motorists to be held in
Newark next Thursday evening. Mr..
Lippincott said today that he I'M
derstood that the strongest fight
would be made against the bill in
creasing the auto registration fees
and that the autoists will siren
uously oppose any move to abolish
the reciprocity feature of the pres
ent.
The motorists take the stand that
to repeal the reciprocity law after
II has been in force less than a year
would not give a fair test. Com
missioner Lippincott does not want
the law repealed, but does ask that
1t shall be modified in a way to give
this state greater protection. The
motorists will renew their claim
that the state has no right to tax
automobiles when they are also as
sessed for a personal property tax.

PRESCOTT DE-
 FEATS GURDON.

In a cue sided game of base ball played here yesterday after noon on the High School campus, Prescott defeated the Gurdon boys by score of F to 5.
 In the earlier part of the game 1t looked as if the Gurdon boys would gain an easy victory over our team, but Stewart advanced to tue bat and pounded out a home run with three men on the bases. This put new life into the Prescott team, and in the next inning Litton sent a three bagger out, scoring three men. After this Prescott had the game going it's way, and kept it that way until the finish.
 The features of the game was the twirling of Litton and the batting of Litton and Stewart.
 This is the first game played here this season and Prescott s team is getting into good shape. The probabilities are that game will be played with the Texark- ana High School team here the latter part of next week.
