AN INCIDENT OF HISTORY
ABOUT MORRISTOWN

4 ing liberal franchises and doing every
thing to further the building Of rail
roads, but we think the time has come
when these enterprises should stand
or fall alone, the same as any other
business enterprise The ID. IL. s. M.
r. r. have catered to our wants long
and we'll They have been giving us
good service. AS good as any other
road gives, with perhaps a cor
responding number Of accidents.
What have we been giving in return
Our entire business Of the last 80
years, and business that paid them
well, because 1t is a well-known fact
| that where one railroad controls the
entire population, as far as transpor-
tation is concerned, that population
does not always get the best rates pos
lsible. In addition to our patronage
we are asked to pay to improve their
property, as it can be no other than
i an Improvement to their property
alone.
| What would we think Of a business
man who would ask his customers to
bear a portion of the expense Of inn
proving his store? Or manufacturer
| who would ask his customers to help
| pay for some new machinery !?
Railroads are not philanthropists In
these days. they are built for revenue
only, when Improvements are made
they are made because 1t will facil-
itate and improve their business. The
D.. u. 81 w. people say they are going
to build us a nice new station an inn
provetnent to our city. That may be
true, but we think it would be more Of
an advertisement for their road than
an improvement to our city. Surely
If new station is built it must be
built in such manner that it will be
up-to-date for at least 10 years to come.
The D., +. 8 w. people have come to
the conclusion that it will pay them
to make this improvement and we
agree With them, but prefer 10 pay
our share Of the expense by Indirect
taxation, which would be inevitable in
any event. AS | said before, our
freight accommodation are improve
ing. Would it not be well to use our
money, if we have any to spare, to inn
prove our passenger accommodations
by aiding a high speed short line troll
ley to New York and Newark With
all due respect to the d., 1. & w. r.
r. we feel it would be very unwise to
invest our money to improve their
property. The Improvement Of which
win be Of increasing benefit to them
every year, and for which we win have
to pay in an indirect way.

NEW RULE FOR AUTOMOBILES

over 1000 Licenses Issued. Tourists
say New Jersey Roads are superb.
The records In the automobile
license department of the secretary Of
state S office show that 6,997 machines
Ihaye been licensed under the auto
mobile law of the state. OF this large
number the greatest percentage this
year are licenses issued for touring
cars. Fully go per cent. of the licenses
| of 1904 are for touring cars.
The secretary Of state argues from
| this that the trade in small runabouts
has fallen off materially, for while last
lyear the runabouts were p per cent,
of the whole number licensed, this
| year there has been SO great a gain ID
the percentage Of touring cars licensed
that when a license for running rum
about is applied for the automobile
license clerks remark about its infre-
quency.
AS the secretary Of state has entire
charge Of licensing automobiles the
officials Of his Office are in a position to
note the tendency of New York and
Philadelphia parties to tour in New
Jersey.
Almost every Metropolitan or Quaker
City applicant for a New jersey
license says that the superb roads Of
this state make the running OF an
automobile pleasenter in New Jersey
than tn any other commonwealth.
Applicants for licenses for the rum
ming of automobiles are now confronted
with a new rule Of the department
which forbids the granting Of numbers
for machines until the licensee applies
for the license with his one dollar
Heretofore IT has been the custom Of
the automobile department. OF the
secretary Of states Office to grant a
number to the owner Of an automobile
upon his writing that he would apply
fora license and wanting to know a
number he could have that he might
get it attached to his machine before
it came out Of the shop,
experience OF one year and five
months with the automobile law has
developed some mistakes incident to
the first law which the next legisla-
ture will be asked to take up and
remedy. One OF these mistakes is the
peril of arrest a tourist from distant
state runs when first striking New
jersey soil.
The remedy proposed is to allow q
sufficient time limit for aforeign auto
mobilst TO get his license.
Another defect in the automobile
| law is its non-revocation, and this
feature will be the subject Of legisla-
tive inquiry this coming winter.
Under the statute as it now Stands
it Is impossible for a justice of the
peace to do more than to fine VIOLA
tor of the state speed regulation the
Cu6bOltldIy D1Os DUuuCAuo ~ OhAS
operation of the automobile law are Of
the opinion that there should be q
clause allowing a revocation Of a
license when the holder becomes a
fragrant offender against the speed
regulations.
A measure introduced into t b
senate last year by Senator Bachellel
of Essex, is believed to be good
thing, and it will likely be one Of the
amendments to the automobile Law
this coming legislature. This measure
makes obligatory the removal, as soon
as machine reaches New Jersey soil
of all number licenses in other states
and compels the display only In this
state Of the New Jersey license mum
ber.
