I Plan Fails To Pass Assembly Bill Was Patterned After Theory of Late Henry George TRENTON, May 2. (AP) A municipal bill patterned after the single plan advanced by Economist Henry George late in the last century lacked sufficient enthusiasts in the New Jersey Assembly. The measure, Introduced for the sixth year by Assemblywoman Olive C. Sanford was defeated when it lacked six of the necessary 31 for passage. The bill over a five-year period would reduce levies on land improvements almost to a vanishing point and would increase taxes on land accordingly.
Mrs. Sanford said in statement the proposed new tax would meet local needs and encourage increased building, but opponents of the measure said Henry George's Theory was "now out-moded and unworkable. The bill, Mrs. Sanford said, merely would allow a community to adopt the tax plan by referendum. Legislative enactment of a bill to permit harness and steeplechase racing with pari mutuel betting at fairs was completed by the Senate, and the measure now goes to Governor Charles Edison.
The bill, sponsored by Leon Leonard would permit operation of seven tracks, with a 24-day racing season at each. Senate Majority Leader Alfred E. Driscoll who lost move to make the Leonard measure applicable only in counties which favored return of race gambling a successful constitutional referendum two years ago, introduced a bill to carry out his plan. Driscoll's bill would forbid any race mutuels in counties which voted against the constitutional amendment. It would apply to running races as well as harness races and steeplechases.
The Assembly passed a bill to impose uniform license fees for dogs, kennels and pet. shops in the state. It was opposed only by Morris County Assemblymen David Young, 3d. and John F. Kennedy, who requested more time to study the bill.
The annual dog license fee would be $1 or $2, depending on the wish of a municipality's governing body. Kennels housing up to 10 dogs would pay $10 and larger kennels $5. Pet shops would pay $10. Part of the license fee revenue would be used for the control and prevention of rabies. Assembly bills which passed the Senate and sent to the Governor include these: Herbert Per- mits boys between 16 and 18 to work in bowling alleys as pin boys, provided they have certificates from school superintendents and receive physical examinations every three months.
Bertoni Permits municipal employes to join hospital service plans, authorizing deduction of payments from salaries.

County Parks Ready For Picnic Season Picnicking in the great outwith the returns coming popular, and doors to favor as usual Garret Mountain Reservation, the 600-acre major unit of the Passaic- County Park System, furnishes an ideal place to indulge in this delightful activity.
Probably no day so inspires the urge to pack a basket with good things to eat and hie off to the woods as does the first Sunday in May. The Passaic County Park Commission, operators of the county park system, recognizes this great desire and will have facilities ready by that time. Garret Mountain Reservation is especially delightful and is easily reached from the thickly populated sections of the county. There are three principal picnic areas, these are the Rocky Hollow. Tower, and Weasel Drift picnic groves.
In addition there are tables and fireplaces scattered over much of the reservation. No advance reservation need be made for the casual use of these facilities. However, for the protection of larger groups it is advisable to secure permits so that places will be reserved. No charge is made for the permits. Besides being a clean, wooded area, Garret Mountain Reservation also offers opportunities for a full enjoyment of the day.
