Elevation.
Special to The Jersey City Neuus.
TRENTON, Feb. s, 1885,. -Assemblyman
Byrne, of Essex, introduced a bill yester-
day. which seeks to compel the Pennsyl-
vania and the Delaware. Lackawanna aud
Western Railroad companies to elevate
or depress their tracks through Newark.
IL provides that cities of the first class
shall have power to provide by Ord:-
nance the name in which streets
shall be crossed within their limits by
railway tracks of any railroad now or
hereafter passing through any such city,
and also to provide in cases where tracks
now cross u street at grade for eleva.
ton or depression of tracks within a
specified time after the passage OF an Or
dinance. Fol neglect or refusal to COM
plv with the requirements of the ordi-
nance within thirty days, the company
shall be liable to Indictment, aud, upon
conviction, tc pay a fine OF not less than
IS, 1000 nor more than $4,000. Newark
passed an ordinance some time ago
requiring the trains to run through
that city at a speed not greater
than six miles an hour. The object of
the ordinance was to force the companies
to elevate their TRICKS but they took the
matter into the Courts where it now is
and MIR. Byrne's bill is to remove any
doubt there may be as to the city's right
to pass such an ordinance. This bill is

PENNSY'S PENSION PLAN.
The Railroad Relief Association
Providing for Back Numbers.
Special to The Jersey City Mems.

Special to The Jersey City Menus.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. s, 1898. 1t is more
than likely that a pension fund for the
snperannuated will soon be established in
connection with the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Compa ny,s Relief Association. A
committee has had this matter in charge
for along time. and at each meeting of
the Advisory COMMITTEES OF the Relief
Association, progress" was the report
made.
The seventh annual meeting of the Re
lief Association was held yesterday at the
general Office of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company. The report Of the Pension
Fund Committee was more encouraging
than it has been heretofore. and this led
the officers to think that before the yea r
is out the tund will be established and in
coed working order.
ITS oBJECT.
The idea of the projected fund was
formed several years ago. It's object is to
care for any clerk who mad become inca
pacitated, aud was unable to perform his
duties. At the present. time more than
$780, 600 is credited to this fund. This
amount the members of the Advisory
Committee do nos think is sufficient to
maintain it, rs it is the intention to use
only the interest of the principal.
w hat the final amount Is to be before
the fund is organized is hard to say. but
it is almost an assured fact that If the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company makes a
fair contribution to the fund it will not
be long before this department is in full
operation and many of the clerks who are
too old or too feeble to work will be reap
ing the benefits of it.
PENNSY A LIBERAL SUBSCRIBER.
One of the Advisory Committee In
speaking OF this fund yesterday would
not say when it would be formed, but he
intimated tina the railroad company
would at all rel be a liberal sub
scriber.
The Pennsylvania Relief Association
was formed about seven years ago, and
from what was then q mere corporal's
guard has sprung Il membership of over
$4,000. which is increasing yearly. Over
5000 new names were insert oed on the
roll last year, but rs 1900 withdrew, the
net gain was only 5000. The moun car
ried over from last year was 500, 900.
which is liable, however, to payment of
benefits not yet paid and sickness car
ried forward.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
last year appropriated over $150, GOO for
the maintenance of the relief association.
Beside making an appropriation in money
the com III pays all the expenses of the
association, such as medical examiners,
clerks, superintendent and other items.
Membership in the relief association is
not compulsory, as many Of the en-
ployes of tine company are not members

completion OF this great and popular
enterprise. Riverside Drive in New
York is a very parallel case, and there
is no real estate man in that city who
will not say that this and every other
fine driveway in and about the metrop-
oils has amply justified the outlay
upon it as a mere business investment
by the city.
We see the Jou r7aal is at its old
tricks, throwing mean and stupid OBJ
structions in the way OF this as OF
every great enterprise of public prog
ress in this city. We hope it will
have as little influence as usual upon
the course of the necessary legislation,
and that, with the needed money
available, this summer will practically
see the great road complete. +
