CROWD AT HEARING
Appropriation of Last Year
Was Overdrawn About $20,
000. Figures Show
WUODBKl IK1K, Heb. 1:—The
1 y2tax rale for Woodbridgo will
be about the same as the rate lor
the past year it was claimed at the
public meeting held Iasi night at
the high school, when the township
finance matters were discussed with
the taxpayers, who as usual turned
mit in great numbers. Many of tie
.citizens spoke, but few could charge
that the township committeemen
had not cut down the budget consid
erably, as compared with the t«*nta
live figures announced last week.
The public hearing got away to a
had start. Two meetings were
'scheduled to be held at. the high
school. One was for the formation
of the local organization of the
Middlesex County Taxpayers Asso
ciation and the other for the budget
hearing. The latter session was
started in one of the small rooms
downstairs, while the large .audi
torium was not being used How
ever, after several taxpayers had
voiced their protests on being denied
admittance to tlie hearing, a recess
was called and the taxpayers session
was held first in the auditorium. !
Then the town committee opened
x their session and the voices of the I
people were heard.
Alter Wii’kun Ga'.dncr, chairman !
of the finance committee, had read j
flu* proposed budge} through, A. W.
r <’bristle, committCeman-at-large, de
clar’d the mooting open for discus
sion. He announced that on Mon- ■
day night the town committee had |
worked late and hard to cut down I
tlie figures and declared that an;
honest effm'- had been made in the
way oi economy
When tl e discussion of the bud
get beg' i some exc< ption was taken
to the item of $0,000 appropriated
for »oad repair lulls not presented
in 1021. The question arose as to
whK'her it was legal to pay them.
No one seemed to o* able to answer
this question although .T. H. Thayer
Martin township attorney, held that
it would be best to place them in the ;
budget and pay them rather than j
have the creditors bring suit against j
the township, which would mean •
that th • lewnshh would also have
to pay t' 'ccsts of the suits.
■ \ Acc'nmis iiviTurnwii
Another tom which appeared in
the budget, but which seemed to
escape noth;' \\n\ the appropriation
>f J13,00u ier 192 emergency notes.
This item, it is assumed, is to cover
overdrawn accounts of last year.
Tho’e, is also anotlur item of con
siderable irt- i es and that is hills for
the year 7906. presented in 1921
amounting ic; $700. From these fig
ures it would seem that the account?
, ire overd*.; \vn to the extent of about i
$20,000.
Hoy Makes Figlit
The appropriation to the road
committee showed marks of a bitter
light which is reported to have taken
piace at the conference on Mon
uay night. From what can be learn
ed. William Hoy. of the Fords sec
tion. held out at the Monday night
meeting for an appropriation of
$35,000. This was opposed by Wil
liam Gardner, of the Avenel dis
trict. chairman of the finance com
mittee. in order to keep the budget
as low as possible saw no reason
why more than $2 3,000 should he ,
appropriated to keep the roads in
condition.

Passed in Senate by Vote of
13 to 7--0ther Legislation
in Upper House
TRENTON, Feb. 1: —By a vote ot'
J 3 to 7 the senate has passed the
bill introduced by Stale Senator
Hilaries D. White, of Atlanti* which
increases the fee* for heavier auto
trucks. Democratic Leader Simpson
and ' is party colleagues, Agans of
i-iinterdon. and Heath of Mercer,
together with Senator Harry, ot Es
sex, opposed the measure.
The hi 1 fixes a let of $55 for mo
tor trucks for nine than thirteen
thousand rounds gross weight and
capacity and rLeL by a graduated
scale to the minimum fee of $270
for vehicles of thirty thousand
pounds. Tne opponents of the mea
sure contended that the increase
was uo drastic in its provisions and
would won. a hardship upon the
people who use the* goods transport
ed in there trucks inasmuch as the
add d license fees would be tacked
on ..h« cost of th«> goods transport
ed. Reduced prices, they h£ld.
would result from increased carry
mg of goods by trucks.
Senator White, the introducer, lo
getner with Senator CuSe, of Somer
set, and Alkn, oe Salem, advocated
the measure, contending that the
huge trucks now used do more to
damage hr state’s highways than
coUid I e covered bv the return they
would bring in the matter of cheaper
transportation of gcods for the con
sunn r»s. Senator Alien charged that !
these trucks are used mainly by New |
York and Pennsylvania shippers and j
the New Jersey people would not be !
hu -t.
Senator Simpson, for the Demo
crats. causer? a laugh when’ he had ;
the upper House pass a resolution
giving the minority the use of a room
“where w>: may discuss what we
wou'd do i‘‘ we could do.”
Simpson during the course of a
speech attacking the rushing
thr nigh of several measures under
suspension ,c t the rules, referred par
ticularly to jh Pieifcomresolution for
the at point nent of a joint commis
sion of five Republicans and five
Democratic monibeiA to revise thr.*
election laws. He said the real pur
pose of the measure seemed to be
to authorize thes* rer. men “as prac
tical politicians to go through the
election law and destroy the direct
primary ” The resolution was given
second reading yesterday.
A week trom next Monday the
Senate Judiciary Committee will
give a puh.'ic hearing on the Allen
“l'u.l crew’ repealer Among the
bills int:educed i.i the senate yester
day were the following:

Attempt to Throw Monkey
Wrench in Plans Foiled in
Upper House
$100,000 APPROPRIATION
Opposition Voiced to Bill of
Senator Case, But it is
Voted Down
TRENTON, Kri, 3.—An attempt
to throw a ‘‘nion1\c;> wrench” into
the plans Lop the 1 ertliering of the
New York J’ort treaty work was
nipped in ike bud by the state senate
yesterday »\ lien that body passed tho
bill introduced bv State Senator
Clarence L>. Case Somerset coun
ty, which appropriates tho sum of
$100 000 for the taking care of New
Jersey's mu! of the t.-xpensc incident
to the werk'ng out of the port de
velop incut.
Senator Joseph S. Wallworth. of
Camden, scconde 1 by Senator Col
lins Ik Allan of Salem, both Repub
licans, and the latter chairman of
th : joint appropriations committee,
opposed th- bill which was passed
by a vote of IS to 0. These two
members, together with Senator
lfagcmnn, of Ocean did not vote.
Sena to. Wall vvcrtli took the
ground that the bill would be an
opening wedge for supplemental ap
propriations next year. “Some great
colossal < o norations are going to
be benefited by this port plan,” lie
declare;!. "The rial question IT
whether it is going to be a matter
of expense to tlv taxpayers of this
stat“. It is $300,000 now, but when
are we g ir.g to stop. As a member
of ihc appi ' priati >t.s committee lot
three years j have seen some of the
most inn.ua at things- started. They
begin at thirty and forty thousand
dollars and then develop each year.
I have in mind an example now
wh.se the ainiunt is raised this year
to $140,000."
Senator Case said there was ab
solutely no private interests invol
ved. "I nr-y say that I have gone
over the who. scheme carefully and
all thos. w . opposed it have chang
ed their views. The only organized
effort ag'-iins* it comes from Tam
many HaL it. New York, that is the
New York city government, but 1
think that will be hiken care of from
the other sid* of th'* river. Governor
Edwards, \\ 1 o formerly opposed it.
endorsed tin project in his annual
message. The good faith of New Jer
sey is involved in this matter. A
year ago w. pu.r«v'*.i me
bill, and ov« i the governor’s veto, so
that everybody kn^w what lie was
doing. Wo solemnly signed our
names to that contract with the
StaU- o No v York. Are we to go
back on tii r now? Camden should
sympathize with Jersey City. A
bridge projr 1 fo. Camden has been
launched which will cost the state
millions of dollars, and yet there
is objection offered to spending
$100,000 for proposition which af
fects 8.000.000 people. If the State
of New Jersey is going to welch on
this obligation, wc might as well
know it now.”
Senator Alien at this juncture in
timated that even if the Dill passed
his appropriations committee might
not be able to And the money for
its purposes.
“I’ll guarantee there are 100.00a
people in Hudson county who will
contribute a dollar a head for this,
if the state of New Jersey is unable
to provide the money." said Senator
Simpson. Democratic leader. “This
proposition is a very vast one, it D
too large for me to grasp. My county
owes the senator from Somerset a
great debt of gratitude for his work
and sincere interest shown in this
matter. It is a historic thing we un
doing here today. We should not
be afraid of the Tammany tiger
across the river, because I ha\e a
notion he will have a fine scent for
the contracts involved.”
There was a hint thrown out dur
ing the debate that the real reason
Cor the opposition was not being
disclosed. There is talk that sever
al railroads, which feel that the port
situation around Jersey City and
.New 1 oik uener suns uieu juu -
poses and interest as it is, wanted
to halt the progress of the port
plans and the passage of the bill ;n
the senate.
The senators who opposed, how
ever, expressed their approval ot
the project, but questioned the finan
cial wisdom of spending the money
provided in the bill. It is under
stood it is to go for the payment of
experts such as engineers, and
other advisers who are working on
the development project. In addi
tion, legal fees are included. Sena
tors Whitney of Morris and Repub
lican Leader White of Atlantic also
asked several questions, as to the
financial phase of the subject. Both,
however, voted for th ; bill. Whitney
said he understood the project was
to be : lf-supporting. Case answer
ed that the Port Authority Commis
sion intends to borrow money to
pay the general expenses of the de
velopment and it is planned to pay
this back out of the profits made.
These profits will be from charges
to those transportation and other
companies the business of which
will be facilitated by the port de
velopment.

SEWAREN MEETING
TOMORROW HIGH!
SEW A KEN. Feb. 1: -A mccfitigi
I of residents of Sewaren wi*’ b'e held
I tomorrow night for the purpose of
considering the Sewaren side of the
proposition now under consideration
of annexing this place to Perth Am
boy.
The publication yesterday in the
Perth Amboy Evening ows of a
legal notice announcing that within
live days a special bill will b intro
duced in the legislature with the;
object in view of annexing Sewaren
to Perth Amboy was the first deli-!
nitc information forthcoming that (
actual steps had been taken UP
bring about this change. Although
there have been persistent rumors i
i for several weeks to the effect that!
Sewaren residents were desirous of i
breaking away from Woodbridgc
township and becoming a part of
lVrth Amboy, it had been impossi
ble to secure any definite informa
tion from those behind the mova.
The legal notice, however, bus
proven that those favoring the an
nexation are in earnest and plan to
go through with tie* plan.
Just what will come up at tomor
row night' iiceting Is .1 <|uestion
but the toj is a big one here and
a large turn., it of Sewaren residents
and property owners in anticipated.
A the meeting of the Woodbridgc
township committee last night in
Woodbridgc the annexation was the
main topic of conversation and dis
cussion entered into at the close of
the regular business session.
Would Limit Power of l). S.
District Court in Utility
Rate Cases
BY GKORGK 11. MANNING j
(Washington Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Kvening News)
WASHINGTON. Felt. 1.—A bill
limiting the power of the United
I States district and circuit courts ami
| the Supreme Court of the United
i States on all matters pertaining to!
I the public utilities, such as the con-I
troversy between the New Jersey!
Public Utilities Commission and lliej
Public Service Railway Company!
over s cent fares, was intn / iced in
the House today by Congressman j
Isaac Racharaeh, of Atlantic City,
it was referred to the judiciary com
mittee.
Tile Racharaeh bill provides for
prohibiting United States courts
from entertaining any motion which
will interfere, with the decision of
public utilities or public service
commissions. At present a judge of
a United States court has the pow
er to hear arguments on motions to
set aside the rulings of a public
utilities commission and if deemed
advisable can grant an injunction
against enforcement of the commis
; ion orders. This bill would prevent
tin* courts taking steps of this kind
and would give the public utility
commissions power to make and en
force their rulings without interfer
ence.
This situation was brought to the
attention of Congressman Raelia
rach by Judge John J. Treaoy, pres
ident <»f the Public Utilities Com-1
mission of New Jersey. Judge |
Treacy's conclusions and arguments'
wore supplemented by those of j
Harry Racharaeh. also a member of j
the commission and brother of the!
congressman.
A particular instant* when* tin
decision of a utilities commission .
was set aside was when the United1
States District Court at Trenton j
granted an injunction to the Public j
Service Railroad Company releasin':
it from necessity of carrying out
the utility commission’s order put
ting a seven cent fare into effect, |
and permitting the company to J
charge eight cents.
This decision was later reversed,
however, but members of public
utility commissions all over the I
country became aroused because. 1
they said, they might just as well j
resign as to hear a case, make a de -
cision. and then have the courts s-.-t .
it aside after hearing arguments hut j
not Ho- evidence.
WOULD PAY SOLDIERS
BONUS BY TAX ON DEER
W ASHINGTON. Feb. I Payment j
of the soldier bonus by a tax on
beer and light wines was advocated
today by Representative Hill. Re
publican, Maryland, who urged fav-i
orable action on his bill to create*
federal local option districts for 111-• j
purpose of allowing voters to decide ,
whether such a measure should be
legalized.
The bill provides that all lvvonu-*
on beers and light wines should go
to ve;/ ins. All congressional dis
tricts should be an option district.
The measure purposes a tax of
twenty cents a gallon on beer and j
forty cents a gallon on wine to !»• .
consumed any place but the place*
of sale.

Question is Raised if Same
Ruling Applies to Dry
Docks Tracks
What will be the next move on
the part of the Standard Under
ground Cable Company to obtain a
permit to lay tracks along side their
building in High street? This ques
tion Is being asked on all sides to
day. According to Thomas Brown,
attorney for the Cable Company,
there is no information to be given
out at this time. No other informa
tion concerning siding can be ob
tained.
The request for a siding bv the
Cable Company, created considera
ble sensation from the time the tir-t
application to the Hoard of Aider
men was made. The interest was
probably the result of the opposition
put forth at that time by Alderman
John .). Clark, who led several bit
ter fights against the ordinance
from time to time.
According to those who are inter
ested in the ease there may lie a new
move made or information given out
in the near future.
Another point that is causing con
siderable comment is that part of
Justice James .1. Bergen's opinion
handed down yesterday, which said
that, the granting of the ordinance
by the aldermen' was an “unreason
abb* exercise of municipal power.”
Many people wonder if the action of
the aldermen in passing the ordi
nance granting permission to the
Lehigh Valley Jlailroad Company to
lay four tracks across the foot of
Washington street to the plant of the
f’erth Amboy Dry Dock Company is
also an “unreasonable exercise of
municipal power.”
