LIKELY To PASS
BILL OVER VETO
Governors Action in Killing
WaIIWorth Measure Causes
the Assembly to Act Today
MESSAGE Is SENT
Governor Also Has Message
to Assembly on the Road
Question; House to Meet.
IBy Evening News Correspondent. ]


TRENTON. March 1.-Action is
looked for some time today toward
passing over the veto of Governor
Edwards the Waliworth bill to CT =ate
a new utility board of three .nem-
bers. each to receive $4,000 per
year. This Will mark the next step
of the Republicans in this contro-
versy following the action ct Mr.
Edwards last night in sending the
bill back to the legislature without
ais approval. He vetoed 1t IDcl the
gro. nd that it fails to give the gov
ernor the power to remove the board
member AS is provided IL the old
law.
"The duties which are committed
to such boards are of such nature"
said the governor in his message,
that in my judgment they will be
better discharged II the members of
the board serve with the understand
ing that they can be called to &C.
count for the manner in which they
administer the law"
1T may be urged that nc;wi;h =
standing the absence of power Of
removal by the executive neVefthe-
less by impeachment an unfaithfui
commissioner may be separated from
the office. That method is not an
adequate substitute for the execu-
tive power. 1t is cumbersome and
involves action by two separate
houses of the legislature. with trial
before body of twenty-one senators
who cannot be expected to devote
the time necessarily required"
Highway Matters
In another message to the iegisla-
II 4r.l. xI~ -
against adding too many additional
miles to the state highway system.
He called attention to some ten
measures now pending which>if
passed. would add 450 miles to the
state highway system and an addi-
tional expense of s91, 100000. which
with the amount to be spent UP to
the end of 1922. would entail a
grand total cost of 500. 100000.
The governor said that while it is
important to establish a good road
system it is of equal importance to
keep the program within reasona-
BILE bounds. so that an enormous
debt may be avoided. The bills
now in the legislature illustrate the
povincial idea of fastening on the
state at large the cost of local i'm
provement.
Mr.. Edwards further said that
should the new routes be added
ii would mean a s1.000,000 more
this year to maintain them.
The governor in another message
to the legislature last night urged
that action on the senate bill Great
ing a commission to execute the
proposed port of New York district
treaty be laid over for year and
that joint resolution also pending
b. passed. The latter creates a spe-
cial New Jersey commission TO study
the report just fled by the New
York and New Jersey commission.

year by the Board of Aldermen. The
commission wants this street
Strengthened out before the paving
work is started and asked City En-
gineer Larsen for information. With
the map before him. Mr.. Larsen
showed the members that the city
can take action in that direction and
that plans have already been made
to improve the street in question be-
fore the paving work is started. A
map showing this is being prepared.
Garretson avenue was another
street discussed, it being the opinion
that a width of 66 feet should be
established.
In a general discussion on the
condition of Amboy avenue the re-
ported action of the Barber Asphalt
Company in attempting to have the
county vacate that road at Spa
Springs. where there exists a bad
curve, was considered. While no
action was taken, it seemed to be
generally agreed that Amboy ave.
nue. would be improved by eliminat-
ing the curve, and at the same time
put all of the Barber company prop
erty on one side of the highway
Further action will be taken at a
later meeting.

ONJON, As-ICA AAaAaf
through her delegates to the confer
ence with the allies here today, made
reparations offers of approximately
100000 gold marks, or about ST.
500. 900. 900.
Ii was understood outside the con-
ference that after Dr. Simons. the
German foreign minister. had nm
:shed his statement on reparations
Mr.. Lloyd George, the British prime
minister. replied in substance that
unless the Germans had something
more than what appeared in DR.. ST.
mons statement there was no need
I OF continuing the conference.
Mr.. Lloyd George told the Ger
man foreign minister:
IF the written proposals are OF
the sams general character as the
explanation of them. it is not worth
while for us to read them.
You have a complete lack of COM
prehension of the position of the al
/ lies and of your own position. We
will discuss among ourselves our re-
ply and give it to you tomorrow at
IL o'clock"
When the Germans left the con-
| ference they appeared to be greatly
| depressed. Premiers Lloyd George
and BRAND were smiling as they
came from the conference chamber.
The British prime minister
opened the conference by saying the
allies had assembled to receive the
German reply to the decision OF the
Paris conference. The German for
eign minister was given the floor.
/ DIR. Simons said the Germans had
\ prepared two written propositions
! most carefully and after profound
/ study of Germany's resources ano
possibilities They had been engaged
in this work up to the moment oi
their departure from Berlin and
therefore had not been able to COM
municate their proposition in ad
vance.
Dr. Simons then. in effect. said
Germany would pay $4,000. 900, 600
marks subject 10 various discounts
I and reflections on the sums already
paid. 4 hasty examination by the
French delegation of the written
proposal indicated that after the re-
duction Germany would pay about
80, 900. .0O0. 900 marks.
(Advices to official circles in Wash
/ ington today said Germany had sub
mitted to the allied reparations COM
mittee list of reparations payments
made up to January p last. amount
ing to 1000. 100000 gold marks or
approximately $3.50, ,0O0.00O.)
| Premier BRAND said the pro-
posals were so drawn they amount
ed TO an offer that if the allies
would advance Germany money on
I favorable terms, Germany would
1 then paw them. The Germans ap-
/ parently figure that il the tapital
sum of about thirty billion marks
wsre taken now L would amount to
about 250, 200. 200, 900 marks in two
years at five per cent. The difficulty
/ is for Germany to obtain these
I thirty billion marks without the
allies doing it largely for them
which the allies regard as wholly
unacceptable.
Among the most important points
advanced by DR.. Simons were that

DIR. Simons said the dificulty
which rendered the acceptance OF

which this could be made was by

the German exports would have to
