LOSE TRACTION FIGHT
Charters and Tar Immunity Upheld
Pagan and Record Unddunted.

Trenton. June 11.-Mayor Pagan OF Jersey city
and his Corporation Counsel. George l.. Record.
have lost the first of their fights with the Public
Service Corporation and its constituent compa-
nies. The Supreme Court held to-day that the
suit Of Jersey City against the North Jersey
Traction Company should not be pressed, be-
cause the company's charter is plainly not void
The city said the charter void The court
holds an act extending the charter legal, and
also that even if this were rot the case the COM
pany could legally operate under the traction
act. The city has several other actions pending
by which il expects TO regain the franchises
granted thirty and forty years ago.
The Supreme Court also gave a decision hold
ing that person corporation liable to
franchise tax for the use of the public streets
under the act of 1900 is not liable property
tax on the same property. Jersey City claimed
The right TO the properties of the Public
Service Corporation. 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. This, the court holds, cannot be
done.
