Considerable opposition to the move is expected from a local group which includes the clergy of the town. General opinion leans toward the feeling that the bill would pass second ballot and predictions favor the petitions chances at the hands of the voters.

 Both these laws will receive the local leagues endorsement. the Ken sington association favoring the health measures which have brought these bills before the legislature.

Marx Fails in Attempt
 To Organize Cabinet

Berlin, Jan. 20 LP) - Chancellor Marks negotiations for the forma- ton of 8 cabinet of the middle parties have failed. He returned his commission to President Eon Hindenburg today.
 The president reserved decision as to what further steps would be taken to solve the ministerial cri- sis.
 Dr. Marx this morning con- ferred anew with the chairman of the peoples party which since yes- terday has been urging a rightist coalition. The conference developed insurmountable difficulties for the formation of coalition of the middle parties, whereupon Dr. Marx visited President Won Hin- denburg and reported that his ef- forts had been fruitless,
 The Marx cabinet resigned in December after a defeat in the Reichstag but continued to func- ton over the holidays at the pres ident's request.
