BILLS
AGAIN To FORE
May Again Take Center of
State at Trenton-Legis-
lature ReConveneS

TRENTON, March 21:--Governor
Silzer yesterday appointed Andrew
]. Steelnaan of Montclair, Elsie Nc
Cracken Of Jersey City, and Assem-
bIywon1an Agnes 4. Schernerhorn.
of Essex, a committee to investigate
the laws relating to children born
out of wedlock, and to recommend
to the next legislature uniform law
looking to the legal recognition of
such children.
Governor Silzer yesterday heard
arguments why he should and why
he should not sign Senate bill No.
EOS which would take from his office
the power of nap'ing the managers
for the E'iremen's Home at Boonton
and vest this authority in the State
Firemen's Association.
Bayard Stavely, of Haddonfield,
charged that under gubernatorial
appointments politics had crept in
and that the interests of the firemen
were made secondary considerations
In the appointments to the board of
managers. He urged the approval of
the bill.
A delegation of paid firemen were
present to oppose the bill and George
Esch, OF Bayonne, a lawyer, and
Captain Thomas P. Plunkett, of Ho-
boken, spoke against approval of the
bill. They charged that the bill
would create a top-heavy admins
tration of the home because it would
provide for a board of managers of

up ths appointment question in the
| following manner:
| The announcement of Mayor
| Chases position as 20 the ordinances
submitted to him for his approval
or disapproval appears to have very
favorably appealed to the minds of
q large number Of the people Of
South Anboy, of all shades Of poll.
teal persuasions.
The impression has been made
| that this furnishes further proof of
| the mayors determination to adhere
| 10 his Well-outliaed policy for a
business administration. Slip-shod
practices that contain but little or
no responsibilities are not in line
with his ideas of a business contract.
His position has again been stated
in language easily understood, and
the rank and file of the people ap-
pear to be with him. 1t seems to be
clearly recognized that the judg-
ment and recommendation of the
able business men who have taken
the pains to study the present con-
ditions should be respected.
The mayor has sought the best
counsel available, counsel that is the
embodied expression OF business men
Of experience, whose ability and un-
biased judgment is not questioned,
and this important approval gives
weight to the assurance that in these
recommendations the members of
the city council have submitted to
them the nearest apr oaCh, short of
an actual referendum, that it is pos
Sible 20 offer, of the VIII of the peo-
ple. These bodies OF representative
citizens have unanimously approved
the purposes of the mayor as the
cest way of clearing conditions, ana
reducing the cost Of government, and
aointing the way toward reduced
taxation. This appeals to the tax
payers, and is o. far greater interest
10 them than is the matter of poll
tics, or of individual interests. The
evidence of this is perceived in abun-
dant illustrations, and to attempt
10 ignore it, is believed by many, as
the poorest kind Ct policy. as we'll
as appearing to be opposing public
sentiment. 1t is thought by some,
that if greater sympathy with the
wishes of the public does not soon
appear in the attitude of the coun-
ell toward the mayors policies, that
he may eventually call for a public
meeting of all citizens. in order that
the people may have the best way of
further giving testimony as to their
wishes in reference TO the trying out
Of his plans, that their merit may
be proven or shown to be imprac-
tical. Public sentiment appears to
be crystalizing in that direction to
secure something better than a do
nothing policy, or an attempt to
block the progress Ct the city affairs.
