CONSTITUTION CHANGE MAY GO ON NOVEMBER BALLOTS

Revision May Be Voted On Next November The people of New Jersey may this November, for the first time in 99 years, be permitted to say whether they want to vote for a revised constitution in 1944. The Assembly, by a vote of S? to 14, . has passed the Feller Bill (Asaembly 180) which if adopted by the Senate would give such auth-

orisation.

The bill would give the electorate, at the general election this year, the right to say; whether or not it wishes .Jbe 1944 legislature to prepare and submit a revised constitution for adoption or rejection by the voters in November, 1944. The Senate meets April 12, when action may be taken. If passed, Governor Edison would be certain to sign the bill. Assembly delegates from 14 of the 21 counties voted in favor of the bill, the support coming from Bergen, Essex, Burlington, Oamden, Cape May, Gloucester, llercor, Monmouth, Morris, Passaic, Salem, Sussex, Somerset and Union. The seven counties which registered a negative ve Hudson, Ocean, Atlantic, Cumberland; Middlesex, Warren and

Hunterdon.

Not since 1844 have the people of the state had an opportunity to say whether or not they favor a revised constitution, though the governors for more than a half century have gone on record in favor in changes of the state's fundamental law. New Jersey is the only state, excluding the New England group, whifh has not voted on a new constitution in the 99-year period. The New Jersey constitution is the fourth oldest in the Union.

Soae Gas Available For Pleasure Boats Probability that at least part of Cape May County's large fleet of motor boats will be in operation this summer was seen with the announcement that the Office of Price- Administration has restored basic allotments of gasoline to pleasure boatmen. The OPA action was said to be Medicated upon the desire of the Coast Guard to keep all privately owned motorboats in running order for use as coastal defense Mxiliariee. TKk vital importance of having recreational craft of all types Constantly available for rescue work or patrol duty under the Coast Guard was officially recognised. Until last week, boat owners hod little choice but to-leave their craft, whether inboards or outboards, in storage, for the ban OB pleasure driving had also applied to pleasure boating, and the only gasoline allowed was for family necessity, commuting and the like, which is practically nonexistent in this section from the marine standpoint. However, effective as of March 21, owners of inboard craft are able to receive an allotment of two gallons per horsepower, with a maximum of 125 gallons for three months. Outboard owners are allowed 2A gallons per horsepower, with a limit of 20 gallons for three months. ’These allotments, of course, are *bout as restricted as the 1.5 gallon-a-week allowance for pleasure driving, but they will permit the boatmen at least aome use of their craft during during the approaching season.
