Whether or not city has a
right TO pass an anti-masking
ordinance will be determined as a
result of an appeal which will be
made on case at Pineville, KY,
where % members of the Ku Klux
Khan, including Arthur II. Bell,

ances throughout the country.

OVERRIDE VETO
PAYING BILL
Legislature Places Burden
of Paving Trolley Tracks
Upon Taxpayers

Trolley car agents tripped gayly
out Of the State House at Trenton
Tuesday afternoon with one of the
best achievements that big corpor-
alton has chalked up in years.
Both the Senate and Assembly
passed Governor Moore's veto on
Senator Abelrs bill. relieving the
company from further obligation
for street paving, marking the end
of bitter fight that has been
waged in the Legislature at every
session for five years or more.
The measure is now law and
henceforth paving in streets occu-
pied by trolley tracks will rest upon
municipalities. the taxpayers
footing the bills.
Governor Moore had vetoed the
same bills last year and in re-
turning the measure to the Senate
last night cited the same reasons
he gave at that time, and it was
in opposition to 2 settled public
policy along those lines and that
the interests Of the taxpayer
were ignored in its passage.

Bid Claim

City Solicitor Sedell, legal
advisor for Absecon, defended the
action of City Council of that
municipality in awarding a bid for
fire apparatus on the so called
CLOSED specification" plan which
was followed as it purchased an
American La France fire engine at
a Council meeting Wednesday
night.
He was asked whether the Coun-
ell had a right to accept the bid as
it did on its meeting night when
interviewed yesterday, and replied
in the affirmative. He had defend
ed the action of the Absecon solons
in awarding the contract as they
gave it out at a meeting of Coun-
ell Wednesday night when their
action was attacked.
Those who opposed the measure
declared that they will take the
awarding of the contract to court,
after first holding up the bid by a
writ of certiorari.
Solicitor Sedell, replying to
former Judge John d. McMullin
when the latter, representing the
taxpayers" declared that the pro-
ceeding of awarding the bid was
Illegal, declared that the city could
specify any make of apparatus it
desired.
He declared sthat the supreme
court had ruled to that effect
William Wyand, Absecon magis.
trate also declared that the city
solons had a right to award the bid
as they did, and cited a number Of
cities which had purchased fire
apparatus and cars of certain
makes that they had specified. He
defended the city solicitors opin-
ion as being correct.
Despite the objections made to
the Solicitors opinion, a resolution
to award the contract to the

company on its bid of $500, the
only bid received, was put and
