5sectaI TO tAe EVENING NEwS.
Trenton, Feb. 6:--Assemblyman
Richards, of Atlantic, the Republi-
can House leader, received an opinion
today from Attorney General Wilson
ruling that the Hennessey bill for q
constitutional convention is uncon-
stitutional. He held that the only
way the present constitution can be
changed is In the manner therein
prescribed. namely, that the amend
ments be passed by two subsequent
legislatures and be then submitted
to the people. When the governor
was asked about the opinion he said
he had no comment to make. AS
semblyman Hennessey declared that
twenty-seven states have changed
their constitutions through the con-
vention method. He said he had
given six months study to the pro-
position and thought this bill was
a legal one.

A COMPLIMENT
TO WATER BO.
Departments Account System
is Best in State.

Sections OF proposed ordinance
to improve water distribution and to
save the city's pavements were taken
up one by one at a committee meet
ing of the Board of Water Commits
sioners last night. The members
were apprised that the department
has the best system of keeping ac-
counts and doing clerical work in the
state, according to the opinion of a
representative of the Public Utility
Commission.
Out of the many reports sent by
water companies and municipalities
to the Commission last year, that
sent from this city was one of three
which did not have to be returned for
correction. At the. request of the
commissioners Public Utility repre-
sentative recently reviewed the books
and general system Of the depart
ment, and he pronounced It to be the
best in the state. He will tender a
formal report to the board In the
course Of few days.
Among the chief propositions un-
der way by the commissioners in
making notifications to the water
ordinance, Is the revision Of rates
and charges to encourage the use of
meters over the fiat rate and the in
stallation of service lines, from mains
to curbs, by the city. The latter is
to be done to insure the best kind of
workmanship and material, so that
there may be less leaks in the future,
thereby preventing the destruction of
pavements. The commissioners found
the work would require considerable
attention. 1t will be given further
consideration tonight at regular
meeting of the board.

MONMOUTH WANTS |
Permits the Establishment
OF a Branch Court House

II the bill introduced in the Leg
lslature in the interest of Monmouth
county becomes a law, Perth Amboy
may share county seat honors with
New Brunswick. The measure pro-
vides that Second class counties are
authorized to expend a sum not to
exceed 100000 to locate and equip
a branch court house other than in
the county seat. on a majority vote
of the Board of Freeholders."
There is a strong agitation in
Monmouth to have the county di-
vided into East and West Mon
mouth, with the county seat of East
Monmouth at Long Branch for the
convenience of the great coast re-
sorts. 1t is argued that the eastern
section Of the county supply all the
tax money which Is spent in the ru-
raj section of the county.
II the county cannot be divided,
Monmouth at least wants q branch
court house at Long Branch SO 1t
will not be necessary to make the
long journey to Freehold, the pres
ent county seat. AS most OF the
business of the county comes from
The eastern section, It IL claimed that
would be great saving.
For the purpose Of carrying out
this idea the bill referred to has
been introduced. But as It applies
to all second class counties. 1t could
be put into force in Middlese0 as
well as Monmouth.
AS the section of Middfesex north
of the Raritan river 10 growing more
rapidly than the southern section,
and as New Brunswick In inconven-
lent to reach, except by wagon, for 4
greater part OF the county. 1t would
be feasible to have a branch court
house at Perth Amboy for the great
amount Of business that comes from
this section. just as branch court
house is desired at Long Branch.
The measure, meant primarily for
Monmuth. has gone to committee
and it's fate is not known. Every
county where the greatest develop
ment has been at considerable dis
tance from the old established coun-
ty seat will be interested.

CONGRESSMAN PLEADS
FOR GARMENT WORKERS
Special bu United P~-ss r-irs.

Washington, Feb. 5;-Laylng the
blame for the New York garment
workers strike on the miserable and
vicious subcontracting system which
destroys the workers and undermines
their moral stamina, Representative
Berger today appealed to the rules
committee to hasten its reports on
his resolution, demanding a con-
gressional probe of the situation.
Berger, who has returned from an
investigation tour of conditions, de-
clared it was a struggle by little
foreign girls waged in hopeless ef-
forts to get simple human conditions
under which to live. He argued for
the direct employment of garment
workers by the manufacturers. Let
them provide clean, airy places to
work in and reasonable hours and
decent pay and the strike Will be
solved" he said.
