TRENTON. March 2:-Present
conditions indicate that plenty of
trouble is in store for the Stevens
senate bill allowing the commits
sioner of institutions and agencies to
close institutions in New Jersey
where acts of cruelty have been
committed. The measure also pro-
vides that a license shall be required
before any children from outside the
state shall be allowed to enter a
New Jersey institution.
This measure was sponsored by
the Monmouth senator at the re-
quest of Commissioner of Institu-
tons and Agencies Burdctte G.
Lewis, following the recent inquiry
into the conditions existing at the
Mary j.. Ball Home in Camden.
The bill was brought up on the
floor of the senate yesterday by Mr..
Stevens, but as the eleven votes
needed for passage could not be OBJ
tanned, the measure was temporarily
laid over. Senator Wakkworth, OF
Camden, vigorously opposed the
on the ground that it vest
ed too much power in the commits
sioner of institutions and agencies.
Tunnel Commission
Republicans are still trying TO
each a decision on the fnal form
which their bills ousting the present
bridge and tunnel commissioners
will take, and hope to have their
differences ironed out in time for
passage of the measures today.
Early reports that Judge Clarence
Cole, OF Atlantic county, would not
accept a place on the new commits
sion now appear to be unfounded,
and the slate Of the Republican
leaders includes his name. John IF.
Boyle, popular Jersey City Demo-
crat and member of the present
commission. is also ON the slate.
but the best dope available indi-
Gates that he will not accept ap-
pointment to the new board after
some of his colleagues have been
dismissed. There is also some
slight doubt as to the acceptance OF
Robert sinclair, a doubtful Demo-
crat, OF Newark. The eight men
originally announced by The leaders
are all still officially scheduled to be
named
