quito control work which bill shall provide also for the ways and 

 means to pay the interest of such debt or liability as it falls due, 

 and also pay and discharge the principal of such debt or liability 

 . . . and shall be irrepealable until such debt or Hability and the 

 interest therein are fully paid and discharged ; which law at the next 

 general election shall be submitted to the people for their approval. 



Such a law should receive the approval of the people of the state.

No. 1. Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland. 



No. 2. Salem, Gloucester and Camden. 



No. 3. Burlington, Ocean and Monmouth. 



No. 4. Mercer, Hunterdon and Somerset. 



No. 5. Middlesex, Union and Essex. 



No. 6. Morris, Warren and Sussex. 



No. 7. Hudson, Bergen and Passaic. 



No other organization in the state can possess so great a poten-
