Tuvtok, N. J , J»n. M.—•The third week of the LeKteUtive »«»»ion opened on Manduy niirtit. Cape J ay waa well r presented nmon^ the spectators in t he irallem-s and those who were at Trenton were Krvtitied 1° notice the prominence which is given to Senator i rvase and Aaaemblyinan Hildreth. The bil a to prevent net fishiuc and • to extend the gunning season for snipe apd beach birds are receiving considerable attention from Senator Crease. The earlier weeks of the session are generally regarded aa "idaflnjt" weeks. It la true of -course that comparatively little is to be done, aa the committees can do but little until there are some bills before them, and that then- ore usually not enough bills to need tentlon until the third or fourth w of the session. This suasion, however, has started off with a great deal of earnestness that argues well for a short but busy term. Ootfcrnor Murphy sent to the -senate the name of William U. Vredenburgb, whom he renominated for judge of the court of errors and appeals. The nomination 7as referred in executive session, reported favorably Tuesday, and It will be continued next Monday night. A movement has been started to cure legislation to restore to exempt firemen the $500 exemption In the assessment of taxes recently declared illegal by the supreme court. Assemblyman Miller of Cumberland Introduced the following resolution relating to the

matter:

Whereas. There Is a doubt existing generally throughout the state sa to sshi-thcr the volunteer firemen and members it the various firemen s relief associations ol the state are entitled to exempt tlon on their property to SMC under the provisions tax act of IMS: therefore. Resolved by the general assembly. That Use attorney general be and Is hereby requested to furnish to this house his opinion as to whether the said general tax act allows such exemption and whether the Bald act In that respect dared unconstitutional. This resolution was adopted by the house. In the senate Senator Ferrell of .Gloucester and Senator Strimple of Salem offered petitions from exempt firemen in their respective counties favoring legislation to restore the exemp-

tion.

Sint Joint Resolution. The first joint resolution pf the session. Introduced by Assemblyman J. M. K. Hildreth of Cape May, asks the New Jersey representatives in congress to support the bill now-pending In that body providing for the establishment of a harbor for vessels at Cold Spring Inlet Cape May. Such a harbor, be said, was projected and would prove of Inestimable valoe to mariners. The projected harbor would Cover an area of 500 acres and would be thirty-five feet

deep.

A bill Introduced by Senator'Baeheller of Essex enables cities of the first class to appropriate $5,000 annually for free children's excursions during Jnly and.August, all expenditures to be with the mayor's approval. A matter long discussed has been brought before the legislature In the shape of-a bill Introduced by Senator Bacheller which prohibits the use at any place in the Atlantic ocean, within three aantical miles dr the New Jersey coast, of any pound net. etc., haring a mesh smaller than fire inches. The penalty provided In -the bill la $1,000 fine or three months in jail. Senator Brown of Monmouth Introduced the new Long Branch charter act. A similar act waa passed last winter, but waa found technically de-

aptlon from lasato the cxtrnl' of s of the general

A bill by Senator Croas at Union continnea the present state board of taxation tn office until the first Monday in February. 1004, when the terms of all the members will expire. The net validates all matters acted upon by tbe board prior to Dec. 20, 1003. A measure by Senator Jackson of Middlesex has been Introduced authorising tbe state comptroller, treasurer and aecre-

tary of state to purchase and provide l^ties. c<

for tbe distribution of copies of tbe Ellis H. Meeker work setting forth the advantages which this state presents for Industrial and agricultural pur-

suits.

Senator Horner of Burlington, who last year was speaker of the Introduced a 1 for snipe Include March and April, together with September,. October. November and December of each year, and tbe open season for other bay birds to begin on May 1 Instead of Jnly L Another Mil by Mr. Horner cures a defect In tbe revision net of 1001 relating

eept roads that have lieen Improved without state or county old. Maar rtah aag UaaM'Meaaarsa. Asacmblyui.-in Score! of Camden presented to the house a bill abolishing the use of pouud nets In the Atlantic ocean, and Mr. of Hudson Introduced a bill lunklng $3U the maximum annual rental for telepliones. Assemblyman Bcason of Hudson has -put In a bill adding rlrcnlt court Judges to the list of state officials who are entitled to railroad passes. Of the bills that bare ao far made their appearance In the legtsllture a number are fish and game bills. One Incorporate* the borough of Hod Bunk and another esighllxhcs a register of deeds and mortgages In Union county. One of tbe game bills makes It lawful to kill any robin or catbird caught destroying fruit. This proposition was pretty fully dUcMssed at the meeting of the state board of agriculture held here recently. A resolution waa offered asking tbe legislature to paaa tbla MU. but It was smended so that only farmers affected are to tie given th* privilege of shooting tbe robins hurting their crops on application to tbe game warden in his. district. Another fish bill makes the close season for shad, herring, striped bass and perch with nets In the Delaware river and bay from June 15 to Aug. 10. Tbe other A*h bill introduced regulate* sturgeon fishing In the Delaware river. There Is every ouilook that there will be plenty of legislation bearing on fishing and bunting at tbe present session, and It is to be hn]M-d that If tbe fish and game commission has any such thing ps n revision of tbe tisb and game lutes In view It will make It complete so that the laws w;n need no further amending for years. There has been a cry every year that there fire so many changes in the fish and game laws each year that It la difficult to keep up with the new conditions. Some of Ike lloasr Bills. Alnoqg the bouse bills introduced this week are the following: By Mr. Lehlbach—Amends tax act of 1003 by providing that no mortgage shall be taxed where the mortgagee has agreed not to claim a deduction from the assessed valuation of hi* property because of such mortgage. By Mr. Van Blarcom—Authorizes tbe raising of money for the erection of school buildings. • By Mr. Elvins—Authorize* towns purchase and maintain electric light

plants.

By Mr. Cook—Appropriate* $5,000 to the borough of Walllngton, Bergen county, for the repair of streets ruined by flood. Among the new senate bills are: By Mr. McKee—Authorizing municipalities or School districts to raise moneys for the purchase of lands and the erection of scboolbottaes. the bonds any one time not to exceed a sum equal 3 per cent of the taxable valuation in soch municipalities or districts, any charter limitation to tbe contraty notwithstanding. By ‘mV-^Tice—Authorizes boards of freehtJlderK to borrow money In antic! potion of taxes to meet any d -fleit arising by reason of an erroneous or Illegal ipportlonm nt of stjte and county -taxes; tbe money must be provided for tbe next tax levy. Another bill by Mr. Price provides for the Incorporation of tbe borough of Stanhope. Sussex

coonty.

A petition has been aent to the legislature by residents of Woodland township. Burlington county, asking for an amendment to tbe act providing for

tbe destruction of foxes.

The proposition of Assemblyman Dalrymple of Passaic to have the rules changed ao that all amendments presented to existing laws are to be so printed that the propoK»d changes In the law will stand out boldly In Italics

i niii-t with general favor.

This Idea la bnaed on existing conditions In the national legislature and In the lawmaking Ixslle* of other atates. Where It Is especiplty provided that tbe “new" matter In all amendments to existing laws must be printed in type different from tlmt used in the body of tbe MIL In this way tbe chances for mistakes and misunderstandings will be materially lessened. Mr. Dairy tuple's measure was submitted In the nature of an amendment to tbe rules.
