HOUSE NOT LIKELY To MOVE
ON HOUSING SITUATION

TRENTON, April 1.-The first test
of strength on the bill to exempt new
homes from taxation for a limited
period In order to relieve the housing
situation in the state indicated that
there is not a strong probability OF this
legislation giving the people OF North
Jersey any relief at this session. AS
semblyman Hansen's measure on this
subject. No. 1919, was not brought to a
vote in the House yesterday because
the introducer evidently feared an
adverse result judging from he tone
of the speeches on the measure. When
Hansen saw the way the wind was
blowing he also had laid over House
No. 200 which would give tenants a
reasonable time to find new quarters
when ordered to move by landlords
who want to install other tenants will
ing to pay higher rentals.
Those who opposed House No. 1879
raised the question of its constitution
ality upon the ground that 1t would
be discriminating in favor OF one
class of property and the constitution
of New Jersey provides that all prop
erty shall be taxed uniformly.
Democratic Leader Barrett, of Es-
sex, raised this point, saying hat he
favored the relief aimed at by the bill.
Assemblyman ToZer. of Bergen, said
George l.. Record. speaking at the
hearing upon the bill admitted its
constitutionality is deDatable.
Both No. 1913 and 200 are being
advocated by Director of Revenue and
Finance Cannon, of Jersey City. to
relieve the housing conditions not only
in Hudson county. but in other parts
7of North Jersey.
The Democratic assemblyman urged
the passage of the bill. Mr.. George
Of that county, said the measur Is
badly needed to encourage building.
Mr.. McAteer, OF Hudson, declared: Il
did not know there were so many
constitutional lawyers I'm the House.
This is not the place to pass upon
the constitutfonality OF bills. that work
Is for the courts. In the opinion OF
very good lawyers. this bill is absolute
" constitutional and is aimed to re-
lieve a very bad situation in New Jer-
sey."
Realizing that with some members
absent the bill and its companion
would likely be defeated II brought
to a vote, Assemblyman Hansen asked
that further consideration of both bills
be deferred until a more propitious
occasion

Ex-Mayor George Shultz. George

member of the board for thirteen
years and its president for twelve,
took the floor and addressed the vot-
ers.

at Jamesburg's record for the past
five years. The cost per pupil is the
lowest in the whole county except
that Of Spotswood and that cannot
be compared to JameSburg's enroll

and this outburst is what the reward
Is for all our sincerity. In the cause
of true AmericantSm and with the
interest of the children OF the bor-
ough at heart / appeal TO you all to

more was loudly applauded and his
appeal soon turned the sentiment
from opposition to n that swept
the appropriation to victory. Many
were in tears as Mr.. Baremore tear

board.

Like oldtime Sea Story.

A tale of piracy, with an oldtime
flavor, comes from the Orient. Between
Hongkong and Macao, the captain of
an oil junk was surprised to observe
seven men, armed to the teeth, stand
ing in an open boat alongside. Four
of them had rifles, two had two revol-
vers each, and the seventh had re-
volver and a dagger. AS the captain
refused to surrender his vessel when
called upon to do so, the pirates fired
into the air in order to intimidate him.
This had the desired effect, for the
junk was stopped and the pirates
clambered aboard. They overpowered
the crew and steered the ship for an
island where another vessel was an
chored. They transferred the cargo to
it, took everything they could remove
and then liberated the imprisoned crew
and let them sail away in their empty
junk. The pirates kidnapped two of the
crew, evidently being short of men.

Easy-Startinq Car-No Reduction.

owned a car. In the course of time
the two discussed quite freely the vari-

Truth to tell, Green's car was
trif1e hard to start in the cooler
months. But Brown often told Green
how easily his car would start when
the cool weather came on. "Yes, l
never had the least bit of trouble last
winter" he said. "Just walked into
