SOME NEW BILLS
BY NEWARKERS
MEET APPROVAL
One Concerns Health Officers.
Other Matters Pro-
vided For. I

Two bills drafted for Newark and
approved by the Legislative Confer
ence today will be introduced into
the Assembly tonight. One of the
bills provides for a mutual pension
organization of all Boards of Works
employees and the other provides for
licensing dogs at 81 per year in lieu
of the present taxing system of 81
per annum.
When House Bill Nc. s27 was
brought up for discussion, Mayor
Raymond said: This is good bill.
am in accord with it's views. I per-
sonally want it passed and ask that
this conference approve it." The con-
ference carried out the Mayors
wishes.
The bill was introduced by Assem-
blyman Gilbert and provides for the
retirement on pension of any health
officer in first-class cities who Is fifty
FIVE years of age or over and who has
been in the employ OF the city for
twenty-five years. The present health
officer of Newark. David d. Chand-
Ter, has served over thirty years ard
is about sixty years Of age
Chief Engineer Morris r. SherrerN
introduced the bill. He said that un-
der the present arrangement no pro-
vision is made for the pensioning OF
employees who have served the board
for twenty-five years or more. The
act as approved by the conference
provides that the employees of the
Board of Works department can as
sociate themselvsA as a corporation
for the purpose Jfsproviding and OBJ
tanning q fund to pension such en-
ployes. Under the proposed measure
the city will not give an appropria-
ton. The act will not become opera
tive, If passed, until five years hence.
The draft regulating the licensing
of dogs was also unanimously In
dorsed. Under the present law 81 per
year is charged for the keeping of
canine. The conference reported that
the city has been losing money year
by year under this scheme.
No license tag Is given out, only
receipt for 81 is given the owner. In
many cases dogs hav been impound-
ed after their owners had paid their
tax. Under the proposed measure
tag will be placed about the neck of
the dog after the fee is paid the city.
All money received from this taxa
ton will go to the Police Pension
Fund.
House bill No. 5ei, introduced by
Minority Leader Thomas F. Martin.
providing that taxes may be made in
monthly installments, was disap-
proved.

ance in stock or mutual companies or
in a state Insurance Fund. was dis
approved.

Therefore while he exhorts the

Edward Boyle, a special policeman
in the Woodside section for many
years, who was blackjacked by a
highwayman last Tuesday night. died
today In ST. A1ichael's Hospital

when he was felled, was on bis rounds
when the attack occurred. The as

Boyle, who had many wealthy
clients, was on his rounds az q
watchman last Tuesday night, going
north in Parker street between Sec
Iond and Arlington avenues. when
some person stepped suddenly from
behind tree and struck h1m across
the face with a heavy instrument
Boyle waa fellcd to the stresf ard

feel tug at his watch chain, and
he recovered from the shock TO hear
retreating footsteps, but could see
nothing. Finding himself bleeding
freely he made his way to his home,
where DR.. William s. Foster. 147 Gen.

refused to go.
The watchman carried blackjack
and a revolver, but the attack came
so suddenly that he had no time to
draw either. He usually carries

him, but after giving more thought

RAILROADS.&C.
UNF AIR MEANS,
TRA|NMEN SAY
Declare Companies coeroe EN-.
ployes to Get Up Full Crew
Repeal Petitions.

Members NJ the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen said today that
the thirteen railroads which operate
In this State are using unfair means
to create an apparent sentiment in
favor OF the repeal of the "full crew"
law. They say that the $4,000 or so
employees who work in shops and
Offices are being set against the $4,000
trainmen who profit by the law.
partly by indirect appeals to their
desire for promotion and partly by
yelled suggestions that their welfare
will be best served by opposing the
law.
These trainmen, who for obvious
reasons do not wish their names
used say that fully 100 railroad
citrks have been engaged In circu-
latlng sbe petitions for the repeal Of
the law, and that at least a dozen
from the River street station in tils
city arc now working and have been
| in this city.
An instance of how they operate Is
related thus: A youth of about twen-
ty or less accosted a policeman in
the downtown section of Newark one
recent evening and asked the officer
with, whom he was acquainted, to
sign the petition The trainmon
want the law repealed" the youth
"a pla ned.
Handed II Back.
After looking the paper over the
policeman passed 1t back to the boy
saying, Don't work UP a bad name
for yourself by lying about things
like this, which you won't profit by.
The trainmen are not against this
law; It's the bosses want it repealed.
You don't want all your friends to
know you're In a dirty game like
this"
To this bit of advice from the
policeman the boy, who Is clerk en-
ployed by a railroad in this city. Is
said to have replied: I'm not taking.
was given this petition and told not
to bring it back empty, and l was
told, too, the men wanted the law re-
pealed and to tell my friends so"
The men also say that every driver
who enters the River street freight
yard in this city Is asked by the man
in charge to sign the repeal petition.
One man who has been lobbying at
Trenton, an employe of the meadows
shop of the Pennsylvania road, is
quoted as saying that he and his
shopmates have been told that IL 1t
were not for the expense of the full
crews the road would have money
enough to keep the shop force on full
time.
Better for Trainmen?
He Is also quoted as saying: ''It
would be better for the trainmen. Be-
fore the law every locomotive was In
spected at Philadelphia before its run
and again on the meadows at Man.
haitian junction. but now the engine
Is merely run out on the meadows
and is not inspected until its return
to Philadelphia. The company actu-
ally cannot afford the former num-
Der of inspections"
The trainmen say the shop crews
always are cut in the fall, and the
men who are not laid off altogether
are put on part time until spring.
