Postal Company Makes Defense.

Again the Postal Telegraph and Ca
BILE company Is making a fight against
the Taylor borough pole tax. 1t was
defeated when 1t contested the mat
ter before. but for some reason. not
as yet explained, discontinued an ap-
peal to the Superior court on the very
day 1t was set down for a hearing.
This time the company's statement
Soes more extensively into the equities
Of the case. Among the allegations is
one to the effect that IL every NUM-
cipality throughout the state followed
the example of Taylor borough, the
company would be called upon to pay
a tax amounting to over 100000. This
would. of course. drive the company
out Of business. il Is claimed.
The amount assessed against the
company by the pole tax ordinance
Is $110.75 per year. This the COM
pany declares. exceeds the cost Of
the system itself within the limits Of
the borough. The claim made by the
borough that 1t assesses this tax to
recompense itself for the police in
spection its officers make is said by
the company to be absurd, as the in
spection Is altogether unnecessary and
even II 1t was necessary the assess
ment would pay the cost of the inspec-
tion twenty times over.
AS to the law in the case, the com.
pany AYERS that the borough has no
right to tax the company's poles ana
wires. as they are part Of the capital
stock and not subject to direct taxa
ton. 1t Is also claimed that the Fed
eral laws dealing with Interstate COM
merce forbid local taxation on prop
erty such as this.
The affidavit in the case is made
by Charles c. Adams. superintendent
Of the Postal company, and it was
filed by Attorney Frank B. Shattuck,
of Philadelphia.

INJUNCTION MADE PERMANENT
Judge Purdy Hands Down Decision
in the Big Railroad Case.

Milford, Pa, Marsh l3.-.At The March
term of the Pike county court today
Judge Purdy handed down an opinion
making permanent the preliminary in
junction restraining the Erie railroad
company from interfering with the
abandoned Delaware and Hudson
Canal. The injunction is modified,
however. The opinion covers fifty
five typewriter pages. 1t directs that
the injunction is not to be construed
to prohibit the Erie from taking legal
steps to acquire lands or to construct
railroads. Neither is it to operate
against the plaintiff, the Erie and
Wyoming Valley ccmpcny, in CCllect-
ing damages at common law.
The preliminary injunction was
granted late in November last at the
instance of the Erie and Wyoming
Valley company. who had purchased
the abandoned canal for the purpose
of constructing a railroad from Haw-
ley, Pa, to LackawaXen.
