Livestock association and exchanges
late yesterday.

called to an alarming decrease in
livestock production in the country.
The resolution charged that cattle
raisers are unable to obtain necessary
loans from their banks for conduct
of the livestock industry but the banks
have advanced large sums to mon
essential industries" thereby exhaust
ing funds heretofore available for
loans to them.

OF the civil service commission to
dictate to the lawmakers about their
own business.
The senate passed but the House
defeated a bill of Senator Runyon's
to validate a bond issue matter in
New Providence, Union county, the
bonds being those of the Passaic
Valley and Peapack railroad.
Both Senate and House passed a
bill introduced by Senator Stevens
for Asbury Park. II validates a
bond issue which was brought out
October IS last. The time limit by
law was fixed for November /, and
q was claimed that the action of
October &c was not consummated
TO come within the limit. so the act
is extended to make the limit March
1. next. This gives Asbury Park
time to reissue the bonds. if the first
issue is found to be invalid.
Obstacles Arc Seen.
The charge that the city of Phil
adelphia is endeavoring to put OBJ
stacles in the way of the construc-
ton of the Delaware river bridge at
Camden. was made on the floor of
the state senate here yesterday ef-
ternoon by Senator Sturgess, of
Gloucester county. He had a bill
before the upper House to allow the
bridge and tunnel commission to
draw on the appropriation in lump
sums TO cover monthly expenditures.
Senator Whitney. Morris, chairman
of the appropriation committee. op-
posed on the ground that the states
principle is to state the specific pur-
pose for which the money is to be
expended. He said Philadelphia
has been Directing to the way New
Jersey does business with respect to
the bridge matter.
The Senate passed the bill but it
failed to go through the House,
which engaged in a general killing
of almost everything the Senate APP
Iroved.
Assemblyman Wallworth of Cam
den in opening the bill or general
principles. said it was foolish to
talk about delaying the bridge pro-
ject as the only thing that had
been lone to date was to hire high
priced Offices IN Philadelphia. in
stead of getting cheaper ones in
Philadelphia, and naming the
governors son treasurer of the
at about $4,000 a year.
