COST DEAR
! IN NEWARK HOMES
Mystery in Deficit, but City
Lost Thousands by Its Own
Kind Policy.

The city of Newark is going to
make a readjustment of its water
rates, and, if the Evening Stars
trained statistic-hunter Is TO be be-
lieved some changes In the methods
of charging householders and others
for their water supply wouldn't be
at all amiss.
The various items for which con-
sumers are taxed may be all right
they probably are-but when viewed
in cold print they bear rather pecu-
liar aspect.
For instance, reading under the
heading Baths" one learns that the
price of. one hot and cold bath for
one family is $3.50. If the family hap
pens to live in tenement. and So
IL the family occupies its own dwell
ing There is no inlSling given of
what the city charges per bath when
bathing isn't made a family affair,
unless 1t be contained in the in
formation that each additional bath
costs SO in a tenement and S2.15 in
a private house. Cold bathing is
cheaper. but also quoted at a family
rate. One cold bath for one family.
as the waterSdepartment has it, costs
$3.50 whether the family lives in a
tenement or not.
If you're anxious to keep something
around your place decide on board
err right away. Keeping boarders is
the cheapest luxury in the water de-
partment catalogue. They cost only
so cents a year each Cows, on the
other hand, can be afforded only by
the rich, for $3.50 year is what the
water department thinks they're
worth. Automobiles, naturally, cost
real money, So a year being the water
tax on each machine
| Saloon-keeping, according to the
water departments reckoning, must
be the most profitable business one
may enter A sliding scale is pre-
pared for the saloon-keepers, who pay
between 500 and s9Osa year. Drug
| gists get off with IS, as do dentists,
and physicians pay 81 less.
Strictly speaking, one should pay a
tax on ones goldfish, for there's a
sliding scale of rates for people who
keep aquariums. Most persons who
rejoice in trained fish, however, man.
age to hide the fact from the water
department and escape paying fees.
How that big deficit which the ex-
perts who audited the water depart
| ment recently discovered ever &C.
| CURED cannot be said. One item in
the tax schedule informs the reader
| that consumers are charged $3.50 fol-
each stall, and any clerk in the water
department will tell you that stalls
| are the most frequent things seen
and heard around the office.
| Last year the department lost about
81, 900 by it's own kindness. More than
1900 petitions for reductions were
granted. These came from those who
owned tenement houses or stables

HOLDS AUCTION BY FORCE
PAY OFF BACK TAXES

PASSAIC, n. j., March 13.-De-
termined to collect all back personal
taxes in Passaie county, Deputy Tax
Collector James Strachan yesterday
took charge of the furniture store of
Adolph Gang, in this city, and an
nounced an auction. Gang owed a
delinquent personal tax bill of $59.42.
AS soon as the sale was announced
housewives began gathering, and in
half an hour the deputy collector had
furniture on which he realized 500. He
handed s9.5S to Gang, announced that
the auction was over and bowed him
self out. -
According to Gang, Strachan sold
more than $3.50 worth of furniture for
$50. Gang has instructed his attor-
ney, Louis A. Crowley, to bring suit
against the city of Passaic. strachan
threatens TO treat other delinquents
as Gang was treated unless they
pay up.

OLYMPIC, TITANIC'S SISTER
SHIP, CALLED UNSUITABLE

LONDON. March ia Belfast dis
patch to the Evening News says:
"One of the most wonderful ship
building feats ever known has nearly
been finished on the White Star liner
Olympic. The nature of the work
has thus far been kept secret, but l
am now able to say that Harland q
Wolff are constructing an enormous
steel shell inside her hull. 1t extends
nearly the full length of the ship,
from No 8 bulkhead forward to the
rear turbine room aft.
IF she collided with an iceberg, as
her sister. the Titanic did, and her
hull were ripped off by slanting
blow she would not sink. The inner
shell would keep her afioat almost
as IL nothing had happened. 1t
would be the same If she ran into
submerged rock"

BARS WOMEN FROM WORK
AT MOST METAL TRADES
Bill Also Forbids Employment
of Bows.
IFrom a sian Correspondent

From Sfan correspondent
TRENTON, N. j., March ia bill
of interest to organized labor was
passed in the House yesterday, 1t be-
ing that of Assemblyman McCabe, of
Essex, forbidding the employment of
females as metal polishers. on metals
other than gold and platinum, and
forbidding the employment of males
in this trade who are under is years
of age.
Slight opposition was manifested to
the passage of Mr.. Richards's bill,
putting State, county and municipal
appointees and employees under the
provisions of the employers liability
act. 1t was held by Mr.. Beekman
that the bill was unconstitutional, in
that it is not now possible to sue
and recover from the State. The bill
went through, however, after several
Democrats had spoken in favor of it.
Another bill passed was that Of Mr.
Griffin. creating a commission to in
vestigate the building trades of the
State. The commission shall consist
of two master builders and two jour
neymen building trades mechanics,
who shall report to the next Legisla
ture the advisability Of an effective
license law for all master builders
and construction companies.
Among the more important bills
favorably reported were Mr.. Nc
Graths. requiring two firemen on
comeback engines, and Mr.. Egan's

vote was 80 to 10 on the adoption OF
the amendment.
The six Republicans who voted
against the passage of the bill were
Assemblymefi Coles, Conrad, Hates,
Moore, Peacock and Richards. The
two other Republicans Messrs. Salus
and Adams, were absent.
Immediately after Mr.. Martin had
Submitted his final referendum
amendment Minority Leader Richards
offered an amendment to that amend
ment in reality it was a new bill,
similar to that which the Republicans
had introduced in the Senate, provid-
ing for the appointment of jury COM
missioners by Circuit Court judges
A roll call on the Richards amend
ment resulted in votes for it and IS
against it.
Then. in explaining his amend
ment, Mr.. Martin said:
"The claim has been made that
there is a sentiment in the State that
asks for this bill in its original form.
/ don't believe that is the sentiment
of the whole State, and my amend
ment will test that sentiment so that
there will be no question what 1t is
Mr. zisgen, author of the bill,
answered Mr.. Martin, saying: IT OPP
pose this amendment on the ground
that the people of the State at the
last election practically voted for this
bill, and no further referendum is
needed. The gentleman from Hud-
son ran on a platform which pledged
jury reform.
THE proposition in this amendment
is to delay jury reform until next fall
at the next election, and 1 believe
that 1t is a subterfuge, a desire on
the part of him who proposes it to
get away from the pledge made last
fall. Why should we require any
body to petition for the submission
of this proposition to the people :?
Both the Republican and Democratic
parties ought to be glad to submit
it to the people without any petition.
AS to the 80 per cent. requirement
if majority of the voters voting at
that election favor it that should
be all to be desired

JOHNS HOPKINS MAY
OFFER TAFT PRESIDENCY

BALTIMORE Md, March b.
There has been considerable discuss
sion in local university circles lately
regarding the possibility of ex-Presi-
dent Taft being asked to take the
presidency of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity.
When ex-President Taft accepted
the appointment to the Yale faculty,
just before he left the presidency, he
indicated that he regarded his com
ing work with special pleasure. The
probability of his accepting a post at
Johns Hopkins would, therefore, seem
remote.

Lyons, has been committed to the
