CHARTER NOT VOID
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT
THE ACT EXTENDING THE
NORTH JERSEYS FRANCHISE
is PERFECTLY LEGAL.
Especial to .Drhe Jersey city News.

Special to THE Jersey City News.
TRENTON, June II, 1906-The Pub
lie Service Corporation has scored the
first victory in the suits brought by
Mayor Fagan and Corporation Counsel
George L. Record against the corpora
ton and the companies with which it is
united.
The Supreme Court held yesterday
that the suit of Jersey City against the
North Jersey Traction Company should
not be pressed, because the company's
charter is plainly not void, as the city
claimed it was.
The court hold legal an act extending
the charter, and also that even if this
was not the case the company could
legally operate under the Traction Act.
The Supreme Court also gave a de-
cision holding that person or corpora
tion liable to franchise tax for the use
of the public streets under the act Of
1900 is not liable for property tax on
the same property.
Jersey City claimed the right to tax
the properties of the Public Service Cor
poration. The company, under the act
of 1900, pays a license tax for the right
to use the highways. The city claimed
the further right to tax the real value
of the tracks and rolling stock.

J. W. Hebron, one of the most prom
inent merchants of the lower Jersey City
shopping district in Newark avenue,
died at his home in New York last night
from ptomaine poisoning. Mr.. Heilbron
was what is termed ladies' outftter.
He dealt in furs, cloaks, silk waists,
skirts and other women's apparel, and
since he established his business here
about year ago he built up a lucrative
trade at No. 145 Newark avenue. This
is in the heart of the shopping district
of Jersey City Prior to taking posses
sion of the store, which is to-day closed
on account of his death, he ran a store
almost directly opposite the present one.
He ate heartily of canned salmon in
a restaurant a week ago. Shortly after
ward he was taken violently i'll. He
went home to New York and sent for
physician, who diagnosed his case as one
ofptomaine poisoning Several consult
ing physicians and specialists were sum
moned. but all efforts to save his life
proved unavailing.
Associated with Mr. Heilbron was his
brother-in-law, Mr.. c. Worman. Mr.
Heilbron was married only about eight

received Executive approval April %.
If held to be valid the act as It now
stands will do away entirely with the
system of naming surveyors of highways
to lay out and open roads and award
damages on account of the land taken
which has been in vogue for more than
century. Under the old law the sur
veyors were designated by the county
court upon application of the Township
Committee, initiated by the owners of all
the property affected by the laying out,
opening or vacating of the roads in ques-
ton. as the case might be. Under the
Gibbs act the Township Committee is the
sole arbiter.
The hamers of the act, however, ap-
peared to overlook one important feature
provision for payment of damages to
owners of property adjacent to such por-
tion of a road as might be vacated under
the provisions of the act. The general
road act, the township act and the Gibbs
amendment, make allowance where land
is taken, but remain silent where dam
| age results on accout of vacations.
The reason was that where an entire
road was vacated with the consent all
| the owners of land abutting thereon, the
land reverted to the owners, the public
easement was annulled and no damaged
ensured. The vacation of park of road
| that would break its continuity and inn
| pair the perpetual easement implied in
| its dedication has always been held by
| the courts to be beyond the power of the
Legislature.
When a street or road is dedicated and
held for public use all owners of prop
erty abutting thereon have the free and
! unlimited use oof that street in perpetu-
/ ity, and even a bridge cannot be con-
structed to connect property on both
sides if objection is raised, as was
| demontrated when the Prudential Insur-
| ance Company was denied the right to
construct bridge across Bank street up
on the objection of Joseph a. Beecher,
a property owner.
