GOVERNOR SIGNS GARBAGE TETTnON Among the legislative measure approved this week by Gcverno. "Moore is a petition to Congres to fix a limit within which New York must stop the dumping oi garbage at sea. This petition is of important’ to every resort along the Jerse

Coast.

Our beaches are continually strewn with more or less of New York's garbage, and during a heavy storm we get a deluge of it, as was the case in the storm of a few weeks ago. New Jersey has put up with this garbage sance long enough, and if New York will not end it of her volition, as she seems slow to do. then she should be made to do so by the federal government. This petition, of course, cannot be acted on until next December, but in the meantime a strong bill

Between Philadelphia and New York and Easton and New York, regular lines of the commercial motor vehicles are maintained and

they do a big business.

This mileage tax. with the gasoline tax added, will result in a very considerable income from this source toward road upkeep and will equalire to some degree the difference in cost of operatic: between the trucks and busses and

Other good acts approved by Governor Moore were the crime measures. One of these defines life imprisonment to mean what the term implies and the other adds to the term of second offenders whatever time may have been deducted from a first sentence and deprives third offenders of any commutation. These measures should have a deterrent effect on law breakers if any acts of punishment can. Another bill approved by the Governor which interests South Jersey, extends the work of quito commissions to fresh water marshes. This extension should aid ki the extermination of the pests.
