Tax Msps Bill Beaten.
With one affirmative vote and eight
against the bill, the Senate defeated
House $50. by Assemblyman Mutchler,
to make county tax maps optional.
The Senate also defeated House sos,
by Assemblyman Herrick, to require
a light on motorcycle side car attach
nlents.
The Senate yesterday concurred in
an amendment made in the House to
Senate concurrent resolution 4 pro-
viding for excess condemnation Of
lands by cities.
Without opposition the Senate
passed Assemblyman Schoens bill
limiting penalties for unpaid
taxes to percent. This meas
ure provoked opposition from
Comptroller Tyler Parmly, OF
Newark, because in that city OF
acknowledged excellence in taxation
matters 12 per cent. is charged on
arrears. AS originally introduced the
bill fixed the limit at 6 per cent, but
this was remedied by amendment.
The Senate meets again next Mon
day night. A short session will be
held then and adjournment taken
until Tuesday morning for the wind
up of the session.
AS had been planned by strict
party vote the Senate yesterday
passed over the veto OF Governor
Fielder Senate bill 9, the economy
and efficiency bill. which consoli-
dates the bureau of statistics with
the department of labor.
Governor Fielder vetoed the bill, on
the grounds that it violated the spirit
Of the recommendations of the Econ
omy and Efficiency Commission, for q
bipartisan board to take over the
duties of the two departments. Sem
ate No 8 consolidates the two bureaus
and retains General Lewis I. Bryant
as labor commissioner. The bill will
now go to the House.
Move Wrong Boxing Bill.
BY some mistake the Senate yes
terday took up the Singer boxing bill
Very soon however, it was discovered
that the Senate was voting on the
original bill for ten-round bouts and
not for the committee substitute,
which provides for four-round bouts.
The roll-call was taken but the
mistake was discovered before the
result was announced. The bill be-
fore the Senate really is the four
round bout bill.
Legislation to give national banks
the functions Of trust companies is
also considered out of the question
