Especial to the Evening Start
TRENTON, March 1.-THE auto
mobile tax bills are said to be dead
as far as this session is concerned.
1t was currently reported in the
House of Assembly last night that
they will not be moved. Majority
Geader Branegan refused to discuss
the subject at all, saying merely that
1t is matter resting with the gov
ernor
Governor Fielder made no state
ment concerning the fate of the bills.
State Motor Vehicle Commissioner
Job H. Lippincott was at the House
session and he did not look jovial
He is the father of the auto tax bills
\ City Counsel James r. Nugent was
also present. He did not appear at
all doWncast, a fact not surprising
since he had just won another
pitched battle on the floor of the
House. City Counsel Nugent, as
everybody in Newark anticipated, got
busy as soon as the proposition to
take 100000 directly out of the New
ark returns from the personal tax
was preached. The power of the
caucus was invoked against him, but
without effect.
Essex assemblymen had less to say
than any members of the House last
night. Those who did talk said only
one thing, and that was to the effect
that Newark'S call would never ma
them lacking. Contrary to expecta-
lions, none of them asked Governor
Fielder to relieve them of the bind
ing power of the caucus of last week.
Camden members of the House had
little to say, but it early became evil
dent that there would be no poi1
when the anti-taX bills came up 1or
action. The complexion of the House
remains the same as it was last
Wednesday, 81 against the bills and
% for 1t. Against the bills are lined
M the solemn Republican minority,
all Essex members; Assemolymen
McDermott, Griffin, Fisk and Brack-
ner. of Hudson, and Carhart, of war
rem.
Governor Fielders claim that ne
could pass the bill, made last Week,
are taken with grain or SAT-. 1t IL. rs
openly recognized that the caucus WI VIZ
not bind all who attended 1T, and the
claim that enough Republicans would
succeed to put the bills over was ap-
parently without Justification
