NEW TRANSFER SYSTEM
North Jersey Was Obliged to
Adopt it to Prevent Whole
sale Robbery.

The North Jersey Stret Railway COM
pany yesterday put into use new sys-
TEN of transfers on all its lines, and ac-
cording to Superin sendent Brady, 1t
worked like a charm. +" The new system
is in fact an old one. as it is the one
which has been used in New York f5r
some time. It's main feature is that it Is
dated on the day it is issued to the. con-
ductor. The company was Obliged TO
adopt the new system in order to protect
itself from robbery by dishonest en-
ployes. BY the old system the conduc-
tors punched the date in the transfer and
a conductor who wished to be dishonest
could neglect to so punch the date In tht
transfer and ~tf.e passenger receiving 1t
would leave it in a saloon convenient to
point Of transfer where it was given to
purchasers of drinks as "a sort OF
enromo.
This traffic has been going on for some
time and the officials of the company
claim that by it they have been robbed Of
thousands of dollars. They have been
considering many plans for breaking it up
ana finally decided that the system adopt
ed yesterday would accomplish that end.
They were much pleased this morning
with the results thus far obtained. They
say that if a transfer is dated with the
day 1t is issued from the office 1t would
limit the operations of dishonest en-

Promise to Purchase OF

OPPOSITE ST. PETERS SCHOOL
Application Once Killed By
Mayor Pagan Jammed
Through on Thurs
day Evening.

The action of Mayor Fagans Board OF
Excise Commissioners in granting a
liquor license to Thomas & Redfeld, two
colored men, to operate a saloon at York
and Van Worst streets after once refusing
to grant the same request has caused
considerable comment.
over a month ago when Redfeld &
Thomas made application for a license it
was refused them because the Commits
sioners discovered that the saloon would
be within 200 feet of a school. The school
is st. Peters on York street, adjoining
the college, on the southeast corner of
York and Van Worst streets. Recently
City Clerk O'Donnen was surprised to re-
ceive another application from Thomas
and Redf1eld, and couldn't tell why it had
been presented. He said nothing, how
ever, and ON Thursday evening last he
was even more surprised to see the Com
missioners grant a license to Thomas &
Redfeld.
1t transpires now that the applicants
for the license were promised the right
to run the saloon at York and Van Worst
streets with the understanding that they
buy their beer from the Central Brewing
Company.

GATES FOR CROSSING
New Jersey Central Railroad
VIII Provide Them for RAM
dolph Avenue.

Tho Central Railroad Company, as
Mayor Pagan was informed this morning,
had begun work constructing the gates
over the Randolph avenue crossing. The
company has agreed to build these gates
and station flag man at the crossing
daily to warn pedestrians and drivers of
vehicles and it has also agreed to con-
struct a sewer under the crossing for the
purpose OF carrying off all the refuse
matter that flows down the railroad cut
in the vicinity and settles near the cross
Ing, interfering with the health of the
community
All this the company has agreed to do
provided the city gives it permission to
change the grade OF communfpaw avenue
at the bridge that crosses the railroad
tracks The company is anxious to
change the width of its road bed. and to
do this it is necessary to change the
grade of the avenue. Recently at con-
ference of the railroad officials and the
Street and Water Board it was prac-
tically decided to allow the company to
change the grade if the city's request was
granted The Street and Water Commits
sioners were assured that what the city
wanted would be granted Mayor Pagan
was asked his opinion in the matter and
said he was willing that the company be
allowed permission to change the grade
Of Comnunipaw avenue under agreement
made by the Street and Water Board
This morning a representative of the
railroad company visited the City Hall
and ased the Street and Water Commits
sioners If it had been decided that the
Street and Water Board would tomorrow
at its meeting pass a suitable resolution
to the railroad company.
"The Street and Water Board will not
take any action in the matter, said Com
missioner Hauck, until the gates at the
Randolph avenue crossing are built and
the sewer is constructed under the cross
ing. Promises of railroad companies are
sometimes like pie crust continued the
Commissioner. IF the Street and Water
Board went ahead and allowed the Cen
trail to change the grade before the gates
were built the city might have long
walt, and too long probably for comfort.
Erect your gates first and then the city
will do its share"
