An Opinion Filed.

Chief Justice Gummere filed re-
Gently an opinion in the case of the
State Board of Assessors against the
Plainfield Water Supply Company,
which involved the Voorhees, fran
chise tax act The decision is in
favor of the company.
The Voorhees, act provides that all
companies using the street shall be
subjected to franchise tax of two
per cent. on their gross receipts, to be
apportioned among the different mu-
inequalities In which they exist.
The Plaiufeld Water Company and
number of other companies that
exist by reason of special charters
granted by the Legislature, previous
to the passage of the General Cor
poration Act, took the position that
they were exempt from the act be-
cause they did not exercise munici-
pal franchise.
The position is sustained by the
opinion of Chief Justice Gummere.
The decision applies to a large num-
ber of companies throughout the
State, all of which refused to make q
return of their gross receipts to the
State Board of Assessors as required
by the Voorhees, act

Programs, Addresses and
Other Interesting Features in
Sunday Schools.

The sixty-first anniversary of the
Sunday School of South Street Pres
byterian Church was observed on
Sunday afternoon with probably
larger number of scholars and teach
ers in attendance than ever before.
The singing throughout was excel
lent, and was in charge of Mr.. Eaten,
the church precentor Supt. Vernon,
with assistants H. B. Hoffman, Frank
Eaton and other officials and the
Rev. Kennedy Newell occupied the
platform. Following prayer by Mr..

solo. A scripture reading by Mr..
Hoffman was followed by the school
singing, 81 Need Thee Precious Sa-
viour.
John L. Talmadge, treasurer, re-
ported that the expenses of the Sun
day School amounted to something
less than $500; that the bills were all
paid, balance remained in the trea-
sury and the church trustees nobly
seconded all calls for financial sup
port.
Secretary W. L. r. Haven, Jr.,
stated that the school membership
was about 700; the aggregate attend
ance was larger than ever before, and
that number of books had been added
to the library which was in excellent
condition.
The exercises of the Primary De-
partment comprised singing, recita-
tions, and a sweet little song, Loves S
Garden" by Gertrude Clark.
The exercises by the intermediate
Department were also interesting and
like those of the Primary branch,
reflected great credit on the part Of
the teachers.
A pleasant feature of the occasion
was the presence of the following ex-
superintendents of the School :
Messrs P. H. Hoffman, W. l.. r.
Haven, Joseph F. Randolph, Willard
W. Cutler and H. W. Buxton.
Mr.. Randolph briefly spoke on
Growing" as viewed from Chris
tian standpoint, and what it especial
ly meant for the younger scholars to
start their growth in the right way
growing towards the Saviour instead
of growing away.
Mr.. Haven, the next speaker. urged
the necessity of cultivating child
like spirit which he said embraces
three stages, hope, faith and love,
and which not only children, but all
should cultivate and cherish. The
benediction was pronounced by Rev.
Kennedy Newell.
