JUDGE CAREY TALKS ABOUT
 GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION
Jersey City Jurist Explains How The Change Benefited His Town And Might Benefit
 Brid9eport

doctors are in a. measure his advisors
 and by co-operating with him we get good results. sThe five connmissi oners have a
 maximum salary of $5. .00O 0 each. For cities the size Of Bridgeport we allow $s,oOo.. We pay s3.oo0 in Trenton and Atlantic City.
 l1 None of our com nlissi onerssE have deputies All do their own work The
 man at the head of the fire and police departments has a. secretary, but no deputies The law says that these five shall be the whole government; shall continue in office four years; shall meet publicly, and shall issue public statements showing everything per- taining to their office.
 We have reduced our tax rate, not very much, but the first in ten years. We may increase our tax rate next year because we are studying the de- velopdng4of our city We have a part of water front which is worth $15- 0000, 1000 without any revenue coming from it and we intend spending two
 millions on it to enable us to get the revenue from it, and we expect to get an immense income from it. We are endeavoring to establish efficiency and our police and fire de- partments are entirely free now. No political pull with them as they stand on their own merits.
 sss FsOr years IF a fellow had a claim against the city he would have to wait to get his money whether there was money or not. The result of that was
 that the reputable businessmen did not want to do business with the city Now we discount all bills. You can sell the city broon1s now and you get
 your money the next day or so. We take the regular trade discounts. We
 are also planning to establish a. cen-
 traI purchasing department for the
 entire city. to take care of all depart
 ments.
 Trenton has exactly the same plan
 we are working under. There is only
 one plan in New Jersey It is the
 plan adopted by the state and no city
 can change it. There is a bill entered
 that provides no Commissioner shall
 be interested in any public utility com
 mission company as stockholders,
 but this will be modified as it is too
 drastic, and it very likely will state
 that no commissioner shall be inter-
 ested in any contract in connection
 with the city.
 Regarding the referenduTls Per
 sona11y I think it hampers. We have
 a recall which enables Commissioned
 to be recalled any time after he has
 served a year. In it's operation our
 law requires that a petition be filed
 with a charge and having the sigma
 lures of 25 per cent of the voters If
 you have the recall sslf is sufficient
 control over tf1s oner. and
 the referendu does not become
 necessary

NEW MOTOR LAWS FOR CONNECTICUT Draft of Uniform Rules For Eight States Proposed by
 Conferees. Connecticut Practices Appeal Many Rules Adopted From
 Present State Laws.

Eight states are to have uniform motor-vetlicIe laws, many or them
 based on the rules which have been promulgated through the Secretary of States office in Connecticut. Propos ed changes have been made which will be beneficial to the public and au- toiSts of this state.
 : A joint convention of commissions CTS appointed by the state of Con lnecticut Massachusetts,, New York, New Jersey, Maine, Maryland, Penn sylvaria and Delaware met on Fri day and Saturday in the hotel Van deribilt New York city. They d1scuss- ed in detail the plans for a uniform Eset of laws which will reduce the bull ky phraseoIogy of the present individ- ual laws, permit autoists to remain thirty days in state before applying for licenses, and to insure proper ex- animation of every applicant before an operators license is issued.
 Among those delegated as commis- sioners by Governor Baldwin for the state of Connecticut were Secretary of State Albert Phillips, Highway Com missioner Charles J. Bennett and City port Max Cohen represented the Emotor-yehicle department of the state.
 The first day's session was spent in individual discussion of the benefits tof each states legislation. The second Eday was spent in drafting the proposed uniform motor-vehicle law, which in it's entirety includes not more than 5000 words as against the average of 14, 900 now in force in the states rep resented.
 The five principal points covered are those Of speed, examination of all op- orators, power to refuse to grant a license, and, for cause, to revoke one
 already granted; control of the non-
 resident motorist and imposition of penalties for violations.
 The proposed uniform law provides that motor vehicles shall be operated
 with due regard to public safety and to the width of the highway and the condition of traffic, and that speed in
 excess of twenty-four miles an hour shall be considered pr1ma. facie evil dence of reckless driving. should an
 accident occur. It requires a license based on an examination for all oper- ators, whether chaumeurs or owners.
 Probably the most important feature
 of the draft is the reciprocity clause |mits them to remain in the state 30
 days before a license becomes neces- sary. This clause has been copied after that in vogue in Connecticut.
 Examination of operators by all states is another essential part of the new draft. While New York, New
 Jersey and Massachusetts, have de- manded that operators pass a, strict IexaIninatfou as to road rules, char acter and operating, ability, it has been found according to a statement by an official high in the motor-vehic1e de- partment that in Connecticut, many Hof the accidents which have occurred, have been traced directly in inqufr- ies before the Secretary of State, to operators having insufficient knowI- edge or experience in driving cars.''
 Another important point taken up and agreed upon is the licensing of

to allow OF the machines being push
