lint Legislative Committee Cut and Oppose Appropriation*. Trenton. N. J.. Peb. 16—With the majority of the Joint Legislative Com tnittec declaring they will not accede to the plan of Governor Port to repeal or modify the act of 1906 where ay the greater amount of moneys Tom main stem railroad tax I* given to the schools, the committee met tolay and had a lengthy session, □embers -were non-committal whet -hey came out. but enough was gath wed to show that the committee had te term! nod on a paring down process ind In this process they have gotten tearly all the heads of departments

>y the ears.

Pot instance one of the things rommiUee proposes la to cut off the 16000 annual appropriation for the baterla test of “cultarea" lu cootageous Useases. Another proposition serious y being considered is to charge every .lerson or municipality $5 for an an Uysls of water and to charge for In.portions of dairy premises. it la pretty certain that the appro orlatioc of $100,000 for continuing thi •vork of the inland Waterways Com nission building the six feet channel or pleasure boats between Bay Heed ind Atlantic City and Cape May will off, and the committee feels -hat It wiU te wise to cut off the 186,000 It wlU cost for the Se* Girt tncampment this summer. None of the recommendations for tew buildings and enlargements of present structures for State Inatituioos will be granted by the Appro Triating Committee, and It was made ipparent that there would not be one it appropriated for sending troop* Washington to participate In the nauguralion of President Taft. It Is known that the members of _e committee favor cutting out all ,f the State commissions such as d--dl service, railroad, etc., but for fear if political effect it is hardly likely •.hat they will do so.lt was also made dear today that the salary increase or Rev. Frank Moore as superintend \nt of the Rahway Reformatory would tot be granted, nor will any other salary Increase be accepted.
