OPPOSITION IS EXPEGTED
ON FINANCE MEASURES
ip^oial to the EVENING t'MWM
Trenton, Dec. IB.—It le probable
that the tentative drafts, prepared by
the Piereon Municipal Finance Com
mission, of bills to be Introduced In
the coming legislature will have op
position from Jersey City, Newark,
Elizabeth and other municipalities of
the staté, unless amended before in
troduction.
The commission met In the City
Hall here yesterday to receive sug
gestions and a number of Ideas were
exchanged and hints offered bv rep
resentatives of titles. Deputy Comp
troller William Budd appeared for
Jersey City, Corporation Counsel
Bpaulding Fraier for Newark, City
Counsel Joseph T. Hague for Eliza
beth, Comptroller Miss Bessie M.
Townsend for Atlantic City.
Most of the discussion yesterdaj
was devoted to the first of four meas
ures which the commission has pre
pared. It embodies the idea of a bud
get for county and municipal pur
poses. A similar proposition wa!
vetoed last winter by Governor Field
er after It has passed both Houses up
on the endorsement of the munlclpa
finance commission.
Yesterday Chairman Pierson state<
the present measure is considerablj
advanced over the one which wai
disapproved by the executive.
Both Messrs. Frazer and Budd sug
gested to the commission the advlsa
bility of recommending· a bill vreat
lng police and firemen's pension fundi
on an actuary basis, as a means foi
simplifying finance operations.
The second of the Pierson bills pro
vides for the borrowii g of money b;
municipalities and counties In anticl
patlon of taxes. The third would per
mit floating indebtedness and providi
tor its liquidation, and the fourth bll
V
covers the regulation of sinking funds.
In addition to Chairman Plerson,
Assemblyman Wolverton, Camden;
Barradale, Essex; Oliphant, Mercer,
Republican, and Moore, Hudson,
Democrat, all members of the com
mission were present. For purposes
of Information, Assemblyman-elect
Whitney, of Morris, also sal with the
commission.
LOCAL OPTION FORGES TO
HAVE BIG CELEBRATION
Special to the EYENIXG XEWÏÏ.
ι Jamesburg, Dec. 16.—Tentative
plans are under way for the holding
of a get-together meeting of the local
option forces of the county at a date
to be decided upon by the heads of
the association within the next two
weeks. Two objects will be the main
ones for holding the affair that prom
ises to make it oc« of |ho biggest the
county organization has ever seen. It
will be also a testimonial In honor οΓ
their standard bearer, James A. Ed
gar, of Highland Park, who success
fully represented thç party at the polls
and was elected to the assembly.
It was proposed to hold the dinner
and meeting on. Monday night of next
week, but owing to the fact that a
suitable place could not be secured it
was thought advisable by the presi
dent of the society, E. S. Barclay, of
Cranbury, to postpone the outing un
til the first of the coming year.
Class will be added to the atTair by
the presence of some of the able men
of the movement who will make ad
dresses, notably Senator Gaunt, the
sponsor of the local option bill, Sen
ator Hammond of Mercer, and others
are expected to be present.
In order to get a line on the num
ber who will attend It will be advis
able for all who desire to attend to
send their name tc President Barclay,
at Cranbury; John H. Baremore, of
thle place, or Secretary Crablcl at MU1
town, within the next week in order
that reservations may be made. It is
thought the affair will be in the form
of a "dollar dinner" if enough sig
natures can be secured.
HIGH COST OF DRINKING
JOINS THAT OF EATING.
Now comes the high cost of drink
ing.
The New. T.orH .CH.Y Wquor Deal
ers' Protective association has de
cided that the purchasing power of
a nickel should mean a "gentle
man's size" glass of beer. And they
sang a dirge of unlarnenttng fare
well to the "schooner" and the ple
beian "tub of euds."
As foKthe "growler," whether of
tin, crockery or cardboard, its price
goes up from 10 to 16 cents.

ture realizes that this land will b»;

come valuable on account of Its prox·
lmlty to our eastern markets. The.
State Agricultural College le now oar·
rylng on some plot demonstration·
on such land to show the best mean·
of bringing it Into producttce condi
tion. The Department of Agriculture,
whose work Is coordinated with thai
of the State College, Is planning to
reach many of the very poor people
In Burlington and Ocean counties
with means for their assistance and,
at the same time to show what thl·
land may be able to produce. Th·
available money will not permit worlt
on an extensive scale, but agents of
the department will go to great nun—
bers of these small cleared dlstrlc
and use peas, beans, etc., for soil it
provement, the natives being Induce
to grow them for food for themself"
and the vine· and roots eei-viE
