FULFILL ITS
OBLIGATIONS
Mr.. Gilrnour Says Public Ser
vice VIII Comply With
Franchise Requirements.
POLES AND WIRES MUST GO

"The Public Service, corporation is
ready to fulfill its obligations, said
l.. d. Gilmour representing the New
ark company before the board of alder
men Friday night and the minute
this board says these things must be
done it will make good" The Public
Service corporation and the Morris &
Somerset Electric company were noti-
fed recently by Town Counsel Edward
X. Mills that certain requirements of
the franchise under which the Public
Service was operating in Morristown
had not not been complied with and
demanded in the napae of the town
that they be fulfilled. Mr.. Gilmour
appeared for the Newark company
and after making the above declara
tion went on to say that when his
company leased it's property here to
the Morris & Somerset Electric COM
pany that the latter company agreed
to fulfill all franchise obligations and
if the local company did not do so the
Public Service corporation would
come up here and make good but
would hold the Morris & Somerset COM
pany responsible.
The Morris s. Somerset Electric
company sent communication to the
aldermen, acknowledging the receipt
of Counsel Mills notice and outlining
the conditions here. The company
asserts that after acquiring the Public
Service franchise it found that it had
conduitS to build on Washington
street between the park and Phoenix
avenue, Market street between the
park and Maple avenue. Morris street
and Morris avenue to the town line.
Most of the poles, says the company,
are used for distribution purposes as
well as for main feed wires and if they
were removed would put many con-
sumers to great expense in building
underground conduits to get the elec-
trio wires into their buildings.
The local company now has two sep
arate distributing systems on most
of the streets Of the town which if re-
duced to one system would relieve, the
town of many poles and wires. The
company now has the public street
lighting contract obligations to fulfill
within two years, it says, besides the
obligations of the Public Service fran
chise and thinks that both should be
done at the same time. The company
is planning to remove many poles and
wires which it is not required to do by
ordinances and it is not the intention
of the company to evade any of its OBJ
legations but it would like to be per-
mitted to carry on the work without
unnecessary expense to the company
and in way to reduce the number of
poles.
r Peter v. Stryker, of the Morris &
Somerset company, appeared before
the board md asked for more time in
which to put the Public Service wires
underground. Alderman Augustus L.
Revere spoke up, saying " six months
ago we heard the same story but /
have seen no results.
The aldermen took no action on the
matter, standing pat on their resolu-
tion of last month.

A gas meter with an inverted lighted
gas lamp attached is on exhibition in
the window of the Morristown Gas
Light Co.'s office on South street and
is attracting much attention. The
meter is fitted with glass top and sides
and its workings are easily seen. Ten
revolutions OF the large hand on the
dial indicate the burning of one cubic
foot Of gas. The inverted lamp at

gas per hour, which, if used by con-

food without causing trouble, the food

an advertisement about Grape-Nuts, l

next morning.
I'VE all thought it was pretty good
although we had no idea of using it
