!. B. Jones, of the Cabinet, has the thanks of the editor of this paper for a box of fine cigars as d Christmas present. The cigars are encased in handsome copper covered box and each cigar is wra D. ped in a gaudy tinfoiI wrapper. They look so pretty, packed snugly in the box that it is really shame that they must "go up in smoke " The present is greatly appreciated. Mr. Jones is as great a success at playing the roll of Santa Claus as he is at everything else he tackles.

SMALL MATTER. BIG KICK.
Railroads Dispute Claims for Testing
Their scales-only $37 Involved.

4A~@A BSNAN Y@ IS
Comptroller ]. Harry Bachelor has
been given bills for s37, which he may
have some difficulty In collecting. 1t
concerns the Lehigh Valley. Lacka-
wanna, Pennsylvania and Central rail-
roads for fees which City Sealer Pat
rick Caufield claims for testing the
scales used by those companies to
weigh freight. The committee last
night decided to send the bills to the
comptroller to have him take the neces-
sary steps to have them collected.
1t is said that the railroad companies
will fight any attempt made by the
city to collect the amounts. They claim
that the scales that were tested are
used to weigh material that is not
solid. Therefore they contend the city
cannot collect the fees for testing. The
city sealer, however, contends that in
asmuch as freight charges are collected
from merchants by the railroad COM
panies for the. goods weighed on these
scales. the city has a right to demand
the fees.
Mr.. Caufield told the committee h a
he was refused payment when he pre-
sented the claims on several occasions.

sell them. The State is certainly not sell
ing any wafer, because 1t has none to sell.
Why should Newark or Jersey City, If
they require 5000 600 gallons more per
day. pay. from s25 to $3.50 a day tax to the
State of New Jersey for a thing they have
already bought, paid for and own. 1t prae-
ttcally amounts to the State selling IT'S
right to condemn. The State Is certainly
not selling any water. because it has none
to sell.
I view the act as bad because it takes
away from the municipalities now the free
right to condemn. / think the act should
be amended so that commissioners might he

ton where 1t now is, but with the right of
the. commissioners to keep supervisory
watchfulness over ali the potable waters
of the State. To ascertain all sources of
potable water throughout the State and to
able water supplies TO various municipali-
ties as they may need them. That is about
all the Legislature has power to do
There are other bad features In the bill.
For instance, section 2 provides that where
any such municipal corporation. corpora
ton or person has already acquired lands
or water and has in good faith commenced
the construction of works for such new or
additional water supply, this section shall
not apply to construction and lands or
water necessary to complete such works
or to put In use such water supply. So
that If any water ompany has already ac-
quired lands or water and has in good
faith commenced construction of works
mark the language, commenced construc-
tion, this section shall not apply;
quire lands or water to their hearts con-
tent so long as they are necessary to COM
plete such works or to put in use such
water supply, without paying the State
anything. That proviso was not in the
original act and ought not to be In this.
The whole act Is bad and will lead to
intermlnable litigation, and It seems to me
the wisest plan would be to let the whole
subject stand over, in order that it may
be thoroughly discussed and digested be-
tween now and the. coming winter. and
that then such bill shall be drawn as would
meet the requirements and be satisfactory
to the general public.
