PUBLIC UTILITY
ACTION UNLIKELY
Though Removal of Commits.
sion Was Election Issue, No
Step in That Direction Taken

og opSCtdl correspondent,
TRENTON, March 12.-The fact
nat the legislature has been in ses-
sion nearly ten weeks without making
any definite progress on the question
OF a new Public Utility Commission,
winch was one of the vital issues in
the last campaign, has given rise to
the belief here that no action win
likely be taken this year on this sub
Ject. The lawmakers are expected to
adJourn in about a month and If
AWNING Is to be done on this question
IL Will have to be speeded up.
There was talk that there was to
De a conference of the Republican
Assemblymen during the past week
on ell the utility board measures. hut
1t did not m~aterialize. 1t has been
limited that the assemblymen from
me counties In which the four Repub-
iean members OF the commission live.
namely, Passaic, Bergen, Middlesex
and Burlington will not support the
bills to GUST the present board.
On the other hand the Democratic
aSsemblymen have made not even an
effort to get the bills out Of COM
mlttee, which they might do under
the rules of the house. In fact. one
Democratic legislative leader has been
quoted as saying: 1--WE don't want
them out"
II the legislature fails to act on
the utility board question. Governor
Edwards WILL still have the power
and authority to remove the board, If
he deems a new body justiiable. Ap-
plication from Jersey City petitioning
the executive to do this has been an
'ticipated for some time. but has not
been filed as yet.
1t Is not believed that the bills to
take from the executive his authority
TO remove board members will be pass
ed, in fact they seem to have been
introduced more as a lover by the ma
Jor1ty to use OH the governor should
ne make some moves which would
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-03-12

not be pleasing to them. At this time,
however, the majority IL understood
not to be serious in It's plan to pass
these curb bills, as they are called.
The past week would have been a
propitious time to consider this legis-
lation on the utility board, but nothing
was done In either senat and House
toward meeting 1t, yet the trolley fare
and other rates charged by the Public
Service Corporation and similar con-
Germs were and still continue to be
vital issues in many Of the populous
counties represented by senator's and
assemblymen in the legislature.

fIlly certain that the Pittsburgh

emit in Pittsburgh, West Virginia
brsced up and played great ball.

Pittsburgh panther. What do you
say, Varsity? -
of the fans who witnessed the Lee
high game last Saturday that Lee
hiTh was lucky when they blocked
a Kick and scored touchdown.
This thing of thinking that a block
ed kick Is luck, is all wrong. IN
nine cases out of ten when a punt
Is blocked It is because the .oppo.

through the line and kick Is Just
as much q part of the game as in

A comparison of the offensive
strength OF the contending teams

unofficial records Of the seasons

enter the big games at a slight
disadvantage when compared with
Cleveland, assuming that the two

that the Cleveland iufield has a bat

MAINE IS MORE GALLANT
THAN NEW YORK TO
THE WOMEN VOTERS

A woman's right to attempt to con-
ceal her age has won a judicial vic
tory in Maine, where the Supreme
Court has decided that it is sufficient
unto the law of woman who reg
listers for voting declares that she is
over twenty-one years.
Our own State is not so kind as
that. but it is not unmindful of the
traditional reticence. 1t is written in
the New York election law, and the
Court of Appeals has not been asked
to declare it unconstitutional, that
very young lady voters must tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, while old maids and
matrons may sidestep:
I'm the ninth column shall be
entered the electors age, except
that an elector over thirty years
of age may state such age as
over thirty and have it so enter
ed in the register"
Woman's distaste for telling her age
will pass away soon, probably by A.
ID. 476S. About six months later man
will drop his own pet weakness, the
desire to conceal from his neighbor
the size of his salary.-N. Y. Sun and
