Trenton, n. j., Jan. 2S.-For three

people of the state, only seemed to add
fuel to the flames of partisanship.

crat. The senate is unable to transact
any business because of the house sit
uation. Both houses meet again next
Monday night
Governor Edge addressed a sharp
message to the house members. He
said that the situation lis absolutely
indefensible and merits the Impotence
and resentment of the people of the
state" He declared that the delay in
proceeding to business is imposing Il
needless expense on the taxpayers, and
it must quickly be settled or thousands
of dependents in state institutions will
be without the necessary appropria-
tiOnS to support them and the business
of the state will be generally par
alyZed.
The attention of the house was called
to the fact that the failure to proceed
to business "deprives New Jersey of an
important arm of government at a
most important time in our hstory-a
time when the serious problems of re
construction and Industrial readjust-
ment following the war demand the
closest possible cooperation between
all departments of the state New Jer-

Thursday night of this week there was
a hearing on the budget but, as usual,
nothing was done with it. The admin

whatever they say must be done and
so the poor boob taxpayer has to let
it go at that. So many unfair things
have been done under the long term of
the present administration head that
revamping its errors or going behind

There was much speculation about
what the budget would be this year,
and now that the figures are out no
one is surprised that they are as large
as they are. Police get this time $14,-

of an explanation, is a little difficult OF
understanding. The sewers thet are
