WANTS BERGEN COUNTY TO
PAY COSTS OF COURT.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, July Former Attor-
.ney-Generai John w. Griggs made APP
plication today in the Court of Errors
and Appeals that costs In the case OF
u Browning and others, as plaintiffs,
against the Bergen County Board of
F~reeholders, be taxed against the
county. This was the action involving
tie contract for construction of a
bridge over the Hackensack river.
In the Supreme Court the action of
the Board of Freeholders In awarding
the contract was sustained. but In the
Court of Errors the Supreme Court
was reversed and the contract declared
void.
In the opinion written by Justice
Garrison there is no designation as TO
Iaynient of costs. Mr.. Griggs in his
application asked that as the suit was
brought by the taxpayers Of Bergen
county he thought the courts should
so against the county.
william B. Gouriey, representing HI
plaintiffs, who received the contract
for the bridge, said the litigation was
hot Of the contractors making, Cor
which reason he thought the county
should be taxed costs.
Chief Justice Gummere announced
that the matter would be taken up by
the court in conference.

A formal petition has been received
by the a,mmision from the Railroad
CommissA a of New Jersey protesting
against IL increases, and scores of
small town. and cities affected by the
new rates have sent attorneys to
Washington or made complaint by let
ter. At the preliminary hearing a few
weeks ago, Attorney General Edmund
Wilson OF New Jersey, appeared before
the Interstate Board and argued the
case presented in the petition.
Nsxt Tuesday the commission win

attorney-seneral of New Jersey 10 ex-
pected to be present. as well as attor-
neys representing the cities and Vil-
lagos along the lines that oppose the

The roads involved are the Pennsyl-
vania, Lehigh Valley. philadelphia and
Reading, Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey, Erie, the Delaware. Laokawanna
and Western and the West Shore. The

Failure of the Essex assemblymen 70

proper spirit, and especially their ex-
cuse for not favoring the delegation Of

Utilities Commission, is criticised in a
letter written to this newspaper By
Terry Parker, counsel for the Com
muters' League of New Jersey. The
letter follows:

employees of the New York Tele-
phone Company. 1t should be in
vestigated to determine whether or
not the laws of this State per-
init a monopoly to be secured by
such destructive and ruthless methods.
The history of the Newark Telephone
Company is that OF every other inde-
pendent telephone company that has
tried to carry en- business In Northern
New Jersey.
The act under which New Jersey
taxes the franchises Of telephone COM
panies provides hat any such COM
pany shall pay to the State annually
two (2) per cent upon such proportion
Of It's gross receipts as the length of
its line in this State along any street
. bears to the length of its whole
line"
The New York Telephone Company Is
subject to the provisions of the act
mentioned above. Every extension of
its line outside of New Jersey which
does not yield gross income proportion
ate to that yielded by it's lines within
the State reduces the amount of tax
paid to this State. The New York
Telephone Company is gradually ex-
tending it's lines outside of New Jersey.
The rates outside of New Jersey are
lower than in New Jersey. Part of the
extended lines outside the State are
rural lines, and, according to the audi
tor Of the New York Telephone Com
pany, not profitable. All this must re-
suit year by year in reducing the pro-
portion OF gross income upon which the
New Jersey franchise tax is paid. The
STAR believes that an investigation OF
this franchise tax question would be
fruitful. Both the New York Tele-
phone Company and the Delaware and
Atlantic Telephone Company are pub
lie service corporations. and yet no
where in the public records Of the
State can information be obtained as
to the aggregate amount of tolls col
lected in New Jersey.
