NO 5 PER CENT. SHARE
FROM HACKENSACK line
North Jersey Company Do Not Include
This Line with the Kearny Line.
Puzzle for Traction People.

When the North Jersey Street Rail-
way Company, through its general au-
dttor, Matthew Boylan. sent to city au-
ditor, George Forman, the statement
accompanying the check for $116, 900 as
representing 5 per cent. of the gross
earnings of the street railway COM
pany within the city limits, in accord
ance with the ordinance of 1905, it was
found that the Newark H~ackensack
line was not mentioned in the state
ment, and some question was raised as
to the cause of the omission. 1t was
at first thought hat the lines earn
ings were merged in those of the kear-
ny line, of which it is virtually a du-
plicate within the city limits. but in
v~estigation revealed that the trolley
people had not included the line, stating
that 1t has been running only since the
18th of May, and consequently was
not subject to the tax this year, but
would be added to the list mex year.
The line is the property of the Hud-
son River Railway Company, it is said.
1t is further stated that at the Ar
lington line the Hudson companies en-
ployees leave the cars and they are
taken in charge by a North Jersey
Street Railway crew and run via the
Kearny route through the city, making
the line subject to the tax on the gross
receipts. While the traction people
claim hat the line was not In opera
ticn previous to the 25th Of May tc
their knowledge, they admit that 1T did
run through this city up to last Octo.
Der, when the Clay street bridge was
closed; then it discontinued operation
The question arises as to whether II
was then run by the North Jersey Of
not, and to whom the city may apply
to collect the s per cent. tax accruinl
to 1t from the operation of the line pre-
vious to last October.
Nothing has been done as yet to settle
the question by the city, but in the neal
future the traction people will be asked
to solve the puzzle.
