KEARNY GAN HAVE
CHEAP WATER ONLY
ON LARGER SCALE
Not Entitled to Rate Paid by
Bay0nne Because of Less
Quantity Used.
Isneolnl 70 the Newark star.l

TRENTON, July 2.-The Court OF
Errors and Appeals has affirmed the
decision of Circuit Court Judge Vail. IN
the Hudson county circuit, in which ne
held that the New Jersey Suburban
Water Company and the New York n
New Jersey Water Company We're not
compelled to furnish water to Kearny
at the rate of $40 per million gallons.
that being the rate at which the
companies furnished water to h city
OF Bayonne.
On the ground that they were enti-
tied to receive water from the com
pany at the same rate as was cnargeo
to Bayonne, the Kearny authorities re-
fused to pay the company. The latter
sued and recovered judgment.
The contract under review was made
on August 16 1904. Under 1t the water
companies were to supply the town
at the rate of $3.50 per million gallons.
There was a proviso that should water
be provided to any other municipality,
to reach which mains laid in the town
of Kearny should be used, the rate TO
Kearny should not exceed that of such
other municipality.
The contract with Bayonne provided
a sliding scale, the rate being $50 per
million gallons for the first two million
gallons consumed each day; $50 for the
third million gallons, $40 for the fourth
million, $55 for the fifth million and $40
for the sixth million, and all in excess
thereof. 1t appeared from the testi-
mony that the town of Kearny had
never used in excess of two million
gallons a day, and therefore was not
paying In fact as much as Bayonne
would have to pay If it used a like
amount to that in Kearny.
The Court of Errors held that h
true basis of interpreting the Kearny
contract/ as compared with that of
Bayon%, is that quantity enters into
price, Nhe test being the rate at which
the water companies should furnish
mater, in the same quantity furnished
Kearny, to any other municipality
using the main laid through that town.
The opinion was written by Justice
Garrison.

SAYS NEWARK is ROTTEN
WITH POLITICAL AMBITIONS.

D~enouncing the recent conference of
the local Board of Trade to discuss
railroad rates as a hoax, and useless
to commuters" hi characterizing the
Essex assemblymen as parasites,
whom we elect for general interest and
who betray us into the hands of the
special agents." the committee of the
Ridgefield Park Commuters League
which attended the recent trade. board
conference made its report IIas1 might.
The meeting was held in Adams's Hall,
and the report vas read by w. H.
Hunter.
THE meeting was a hoax" the re-
port stated, and was practically of no
use to the commuters who went there
with good intentions. Newark appears
to be politically rotten with those
characterized by the Governor as fol-
lowing the corporation trail, all eight
of the Assemblymen voting solidly
against the Governors reform idea in
the fight.
THESE men, or their representatives,
manipulated the meeting and were de-
termined that no resolution rejecting
on these recreant public servants
should be passed. Convinced, as we
were, that no good could come of the
meeting, we voted to adjourn indefin-
itely.
This meeting confirmed our convic-
ton of the needfulness of the Com
muters' League in u county and
State, If we would rid our county and
State Of these parasites whom we
elect for the general interest and who
betray US into the hands of the special
agents.
I'm conclusion we wish to state that
the fight is now on in earnest before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and we should have the moral and
financial assistance of all the business
men in town, and have the weight OF
their testimony showing the ruinous
effect of the proposed increased rates.
This battle cannot be won unless all
interests combine the same as the cor
porate interests have done. Then we
believe that right, justice and truth
will prevail.
Il cannot account for the lack of in
terest shown by the business men in
town, who don't seem to realize the
fact that this commuters fight affects
them, and If we lose they will also be
the losers by thousands of dollars"

Oklahoma City, Aug. 15.-By an ex,

step in that direction, as it is che pur-
pose OF the organization to carry its
fight to the floor Of congress next win

be asked.
With congress once committed to O
good roads policy, the friends Of the
