Bay State Line steamboat Tennessee
from New York, with 500 passen-

in the side of the Tennessee, the
promenade decks were ripped up,
and her pilot house wrecked. The

them to catch train for Boston.
One of the passengers said 1T is a
wonder no one was Injured. There
was great excitement and number
of women became hysterical."

Board of FreehoIders Is Not in
Favor of Issuing Bonds for
Remodeling the County Jail
and Court House.
UNDER A LARGE EXPENSE
MiddleSex Must Build Convery
Place Bridge Here and Also
The Woodbridge Roosevelt
Establishments Made.
UNDER A LARGE EXPENSE
SpeciaI to the EVENING NRW9.


New Brunswick, Dec. 17..=7sIt Is
now up to the people of Middlesex
county to say whether or not they
want the present Jail and court
house remodeled, also if they want a
county work house erected. The
board of freeholders at an adjourned
meeting held yesterday afternoon
went on record as being against is
suing bonds for these improvements,
unless the people of the county say
they want it done. If the voters
of the county vote for the issuing
of bonds for these improvements,
then the freeholders will agree to
carry out their wish.
The county at the present time Is
put to considerable expense because
it Is incumbent on the members to
erect a tubercular hospital, which
will cost about $4,000. The county
must also erect the bridge In Perth
Amboy over Convery place, and must
also build the Woodbridge-Roos
welt road. These three improve
ments the board is compelled to do,
and there will be no time lost in
starting work In erecting the tuber-
culosis hospital. The board has
about decided on the site where the
proposed building is to be erected.
The freeholders feel that it is
their duty to keep the pledges they
made before election, and for this
reason they think that they should
not further bond the county unless
the voters say SO.
In speaking about the matter
Freeholder Ely said:
1--WE are compelled by law, O
very good law to erect tubercu-
losis hospital, of course. We as a
board did not want to select site
for the hospital, not because we did
not feel as though we we're qualified,
but, as you all know, we believed
the county medical society was bet
ter qualified to act on the selection
and the erection of such an trstitu-
ton; 1t being in direct line with
their profession, and we naturally
concluded that the people of this
county would be much better satis-
fed If the matter was put in the
hands of experts.
1--WE, as a board know, and think
the people of this county should
know, that committee representing
the county medical society looked
over the various sites and have Sc
lected what in their judgment, is an
ideal spot for the location of such
an institution. The cost OF such a
hospital will be about $4,000.
According to our platform, we
are pledged to the erection of the
Convery place bridge at Perth Am
boy and if we did not go ahead with
that project, we would be false to
the voters of this county as our
magnificent majorities showed, they
endorsed this undertaking. The cost

Caucus In Trenton Yesterday.
,psctal to he EVENING VIEWS

6pCCtQb TO NO IL u NiTo y
Trenton, Dec 17-Several changes
in the rules governing the house of
assembly that should lead to more
deliberate legislating and conse-
quently to better laws, were decid-
ed upon yesterday afternoon at the
conference of the Democratic assem-
blymen-eiect. AS the Democrats
will control the assembly. 1t Is ex-
pected that the suggested changes
will be adopted at the opening ses-
sion of the new assembly on Jan
uary 13. The principal changes
agreed to were as follows:
That no bills be introduced after
March / except by unanimous con-
sent; that after a bill has been given
second reading ten days must elapse
before 1t be given a third reading
and final consideration; Mat all bills
be introduced in duplicate form and
typewriter or printed; that a new
standing committee be created to be
known as the committee on taxation;
that the minority of any committee
may, after a majority thereof has re-
ported on any bill or resolution, sub
nit a minority report on the same
proposition, and any member of the
committee may then move to substl-
tute the minority report for the ma
jority report; that all committee
hearings on questions before the as
sembly be publicly announced and a
copy of the notice be posted in a
prominent place in the assembly
chamber.
Lets Rule Remain.
1t was decided to let the "ffteen
rule" remain as 1t now stands in the
rules of the last assembly. This pro-
vides that upon written request OF
fifteen assemblymen a committee
must forthwith report any bill or
resolution named in the request.
For years in both branches of the
legislature, In stereotyped form the
rules of the last session" were
adopted, and as the old rues were
far from being in the interest of
popular legislation, many evils grew
up under them. For example, 1t be-
came common thing for commit
tees to strangle legislation by refus-
ing to report bills, II certain inter
ests gave orders that the bills were
To be killed. With direct primaries
and other reforms giving the people
a return of popular government,
there has come through the past half
dozen years a demand for a refor-
nation in the handling of legislation
by committees. This public opinion
forced the Fifteen rule into the
assembly regulations, and now has
come these further reforms.
