Trolley Fight.

fight between the Camden and Tren-
ton Railway company and the Public Ser
vice Corporation, involving the right to
operate trolley cars between Trenton and
Camden will be ventilated in the Court of
Chancery.
Upon the request of the Camden and
Trenton company Chancellor Magic has
issued an order summoning the Public
Service corporation to show cause at that
time why an injunction should not be
issued against it. In the meantime this
order acts as restraining order upon the
Public Service corporation, which intended
to prevent the operating CT cars between
Camden and Riverton, beginning yester-
day. The tracks between these two cities
are controlled by the corporation, under
lease from the Monmouth Traction com
pany and the Camden and Suburban com
pany Under a traffic agreement the Cam
den and Trenton company has been using
the line.
The contest between the two companies
began over the heating of the cars. The
Public Service corporation last winter
furnished electricity for heating as well as
propelling the cars on the line between
Camden and Riverton. The corporation
announced in the fall that it would no
longer provide the heat The breach be-
tween the concerns occurred because the
Camden and Trenton company continued
to heat its cars from the overhead wires.
1t is claimed by the Public Service cor
poration that the trolley company is vio-
lating its agreement in not providing
other means for the heating of the cars.
This is denied by the trolley people. Off
GERS of the latter company insist that they
have complied with every legal require
ment and hold that there is no law to COM
pei them to heat their cars other than by
electricity. In case the Public Service
corporation is successful in court and has
the Camden and Trenton company ordered
to cease using the tracks between Camden
and Riverton through traffic between
Camden and Trenton on the line of the
Camden and Trenton company will be
seriously interfered with

The death of Margaret s. Kashner oc
CURED at her home in Trenton, Saturday
last, and the remains were taken to Mans
field for interment. The services, which
we're very solemn and impressive, were
held in the meeting house of the Mansfield
Orthodox Friends. of which society she
was member. A few words were spoken
by Elizabeth Kirkbride, who paid fitting
tribute to the christian life and experiences
of the deceased. William Bishop made an
address in which he dwelt upon the
necessity of being faithful in the duties
we are called upon to perform, whether
of high or low character and to meet
the trials and temptations of life with
patience and fortitude, looking forward to
the reward that is only for those who are
loyal to their trust. The trend of his re-
marks, as the spirit gave him utterance,
led his hearers to mediate upon the
virtues of which he spoke as being ex-
emplified in the life just completed. :
Mrs. Kashner was born in Scotland
seventy nine years ago and came to this
country when three years of age. The
greatest part of her life was spent in this
community, and we who were intimately
acquainted with her knew her as q fine,
consistent, christian character, devoted
mother, and faithful and trustworthy
friend whom to know was to love. She il
survived by two daughters, daughter-in
law. one son, and several grand children.

There was a special session of the West
Jersey Proprietors at Burlington, on We'd
nesday, in the Office of the Surveyor Gen.
eral, in Broad street, and it was voted not
to sell to the State of New Jersey the
records of the Proprietors, on the ground
that such action would mean the dissolu-
ton of the ancient and historical body.
Resolutions explaining in full the rea-
son for declining the states proposals
were framed and will be forwarded to the
commission which was appointed by Gov
ernor Stokes to negotiate for the transfer
of the records.
The officers of the proprietary council
present were: President, Henry j. Trick;
vice president. Francis Lee Cooper; clerk,
l. Snowden Haines; surveyor general,
Henry s. Haines; deputy surveyors, Frank
Earl and Henry J. Sherman. The Gov
ernor's commission consists Of Assembly
man John D. Prince. Heulings Lippincott
and Franklin o. Briggs.
The historical maps and papers which
the state sought have been ia the posses
sion of the West Jersey Proprietors for
more than two hundred years. and cover
not only transactions after 1876. when the
state was divided by Carteret and Berke-
ley interests, but much valuable earlier
data
The commission held conference with
the Proprietors some time ago and made
an examination of the records The fol-
lowing report was made to Governor
Stokes.
The West Jersey Council of Propretors
has in its possession four extremely vau.

called 'Quintipartite Deed dated July /,
1916, and, finally, the book of the records
Of the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel, the earliest entry in which dates
from 1865, considerably older than the
West Jersey Proprietors organization
The council has also some twenty seven
books of surveys, with great number Of
warrants and conveyances.
In order to effect a sale Of these records
to the state, communications must first be
had with the general hereditary proprie-
tors who elect the council as they alone
have the right of disposal Such com
munications can only be established &C
eording to the time honored precedent by
advertisement in many newspapers, some
of them in England, others in France and
Holland, as the exact number of the gen
eral hereditary proprietors is now known
The report further sets forth that, in
view of the great historical value of these
papers, and inasmuch as every title to land
10 New Jersey must be traced to the books
of one of these corporations-eith the
East or the West Jersey Proprietors to Sc
cure perfect validity-the possession of
the records, maps, etc, is imperative
In compliance with this report, an ad
vertisement was given wide publicity, the
time for presenting claims being fixed for
to day in Burlington.
The records, which, of course, are al
most priceless, are safely guarded and
preserved now, but the state should have
them, it is felt. So long as they remain,
as they have thus far, in the hands of up
right men, all is well, but the state would
feel safer if they were deposited in vault
In the custody of the State Librarian. 1t
may be that this can be arranged, the doc
nments passing to the care of the state,
but remaining the property of the West
Jersey Proprietors.
