It is pointed out that at the hearing 1-efors the ommlaalon the evidence ve«s that in mild weather meters may rvenit in some saving of water, hut that In rero wonther and In very dry and hot weather the effect of meter* In restricting the use of water I* not appreciated, consumers preferring to allow a cor. viderablc quantity of water to run to waste in rero weather to prevent pipe* from free ring, while In dry and hot weather consumer* use ' large quantities of water for Irrigation purposes, meters or no meter*. In the ease of the Jersey Central Traction Company the bill Insls’s that its evidence presented M-fore the Utility Commission was clearly that with a seven-eent fare there Is no po»sltdllty of obtaining revenue to meet actual sperm ling ex|e>nses It Is also shown that the company cannot obtain funds to make Improvement* ordered by the commission and that the com- i mission has served uotlre that nntll ' the Improvements are made no further Increases in rates will be allowed. Want Hershfleld Bills Passtd. Demand of the state-wide eoncurrence will be made on Senator William N. Runyon by di*grr.cted rentpayers to hold one of It* periodical sessions before sine die adjournment Y^r lfc!0 Is agreed u|«ou. Voluminous ►crave* #f petitions fcsve been gathered from resident* throughout New Jersey who are Iwlng victimized by avaricious landlords protesting against Senator Runyon'* action, as cha:nnan of the committee on rent and bousing bills. In falling to repen the Henditield mraarres which were unanimously passed by the House of Assembly, Commlsslor.er Jumci F. Gannon Jr, of Jersey City Is leading the agitation and under his direction the |.etltlcns have l^en circulated and collected- According to Information from Jersey City tbousard* of aggrieved rent payer* have signed the protest signifying their desire to have the bill*

enacted Into law.

The Hetwhfleld bl'.lv were held up In the Senate Committee because some question arose as to their constitutionality and the legality of their enforcement. If parsed The rlaits was put forth at tbe time they were under consideration that they embraced means of combatting rent proflteerlug which

Notwithstanding thl* contention. Commissioner Gannon U of the opinion that thetr er.acttnent would furnish the necessary remedy to defeat th.- aim of profiteering landlords.

tbe proper steps to replace the old commissioners If any of the men chosen are unsatisfactory they should Is* reject, d. but the Senate should remain in session until new ..oiniuaRcquest Decision on Suffrage. It Is understood that Attorney General McOrati has been asked wliether ratification of the sufirage ameinliuent by the thirty-slxtli slate would auto-math-ally gl.e women (he privilege of voting In New Jersey for all candidates for office, state amt local as well as federal. The State Constitution confines the right of suffrage to males, but there is no doubt that If the proponed Nineteenth amendment to the United States Constitution Is ratified Its provisions' will override the State Constitution so far as It affects voting for federal oflbv*. The question put up to Attorney General MeCrau Is whether the United States Constitution would uje set the State Constitution ban on women voting for candidates for slate and muut.-tpal offices. Delegates to Negro Leagua. Eight delegates to represent New Jersey at the twenty-first annual convention of tlie National Negro Business league Ik- held In Philadelphia August IS to 'Jti have iM-en ap|Hiluted hy Governor Edwards. The league wax founded by the late llmiker T. Washington. The delegates appointed are as follows: Rev. Sylvester Oorrothers, Newark: Isaac Walker and John Everett. Jersey City: A. A. Williamson. Asbury Park; Rev. H. I*. Anderson. Atlantic <Tty; Professor W. It. Valentine. Bordentown; William Swanson. Trenton, and Walter Jackson. New Brunswick. State Hospital Overcrowded. Pr. Curry a first rc|M>rt a* chief executive officer of the State Hospital at Morris Plains reixuts the story that was carried annually, with Increasing emp' asls. by the reports of hls predecessor, the late l*r Kvaiiis lu the last half dozen yen.-, .if hls long tncombency. It Is the story. In facta and figure*, of neglect and callousness on the part of the Mate as to Its Institutional Insane. There Is no good to lie served In either ignoring or attempting to palliate the offense. Crowded for the l-ast five years. If not longer, beyond the farthest boundary of deevuey, the element of comfort lung ago forgotten, the State Hospital for the northern naif of the state within the la .t year has gained 40 patients over the number |t housed last year — despite discharges, transfer* and the merciful relief of death. If It were possible to differentiate between such unfortunate*, tbe fact that men who lost their reaxon, or had It Impaired. In devoted service to their country on the battlefields of France are among those now Immured within those crowded walla, would write blacker tbe Indictment. The present legislature provided for a soldier*' heme for healthy world war veterans aide to vote. Calling for FlU.tiOO.tXIO, that bonus, as a bond Issue. Is subject to referendum at the polls tn November. The same legislature appropriated $400,000 for two new buildings at Grey stone l ark for the relief of the far more needy soldiers and their more than U.tx<0 fellow sufferer- who. M-lng Incompetents, cannot vote. The contras, is not all. So long has the State Hospital sttuatlnn been neglected that the eleventh hour relief pruj*»"ed was Inadequate for it* purpose, as well a* directed toward the wrong kind of relief. The F4«.*'. 000 has not brought relief, because it will not pay at present ooMi for the buildings It was d.Tigned to erect, it is now proposed to devote it to a ho* 1 '.tal-care building that will In somf , in asure aid toward the desired end. What Greystonc Park's harrown! population needs 1* that scientific solution of their problem which 1 i.s t-een urged year after year by those best qualified to direct that solution—the, farm colonization plan that would give them God's out of door* and its health : ful. curative work in the fields. They were denied that, and the dole that j was substituted i* inadequate even for | its purpose. A tithe of the millions it is proposed to hand over to healthy veteran*, many «>f whom do not need aid. some of a hum do not wish It.! would ha«e provided tbr farms that are needed by tin- insane, among wham j are soldier* who gave more than life Wuen shall we awaken to thU re- j aponslMHty. perform this duty? It ( Curry's report reveal* that It fears a catastrophe at Ureystone Park because of the condition* that exist j

there.
