RAILROAD SPUR
DISCONNECTED BY
OFFICIALS ORDER
Manufacturing Company in Har-
rison Had No Authority
to Lay Tracks. +.

Acting under orders issued by Street
Commissioned Daniel F.. Mahar, of Har-
rison, the Crucible Steel Company, OF
that town, today caused a disconnec-
tion to be made in a track that was
recently laid, The tracks are located
on property of the company south of
the main line of the Pennsylvania rail-
road and about seyenty-five feet east
of South Fourth street. The rails, how
ever, have been laid across two streets.
and the Harrison Common Council had
not given the company permission to
cross the streets.
Mr.. Mahar learned yesterday that the
work had been done. He notified Coun-
Gilman John Daily, chairman of the
street committee of the council, and
the latter instructed the commissioner
to order the rails torn UP where they
crossed streets. Mr.. Mahar did as i'm
structed. A representative of the steel
company pleaded for time in the matter
n promised to make a d~isconnection
pending the decision of the council
at it's meeting next Tuesday night.
The track laid by the company COW
ers q. distance of about 500 feet and
connects with a track that has been
used by the j. f. Stanley Company
since 1906. At the time the Stanley
company was given permission to lay
the rails 1t vas understood that the
permit would be a temporary one. The
company was to transport stone to be
dressed and used in the construction
of the new Pennsylvania station and
also for the elevation of the railroad.
The permit has never been revoked.
At the April meeting of the Harrison
Common Council the Crucible Steel
Company asked permission to run a
tract across streets to the Passaic
river, it having acquired the property
upon which the Stanley track was laid
and that south of 1t. The request was
referred to the street committee, and
at the May meeting of the Council
Alderman Daily, chairman of the COM
mittee, reported progress.
Nothing further was done in the mat
ter until yesterday, when the addi-
tional track was reported laid. A rep
resentative of the steel company told
a STAR reporter this afternoon that
he believed there had been a misun-
d%erstanding and he was of the opinion
the matter would be amicably set
tied. The streets crossed by the addi-
tional tracks are said to be Salem,
Cumberland and Cape May. The streets
crossed by the old rails are Hunter
don, Burlington, Monmouth and Glou-
cester.

EAST ORANGE IS
READY TO FIGHT !.
RATE INCREASE
Council Will Be Asked to Have
Injunction Issued Against
LaCkawanna.

1.-The City Council of East Orange viii
be urged to apply for an injunction re-
straining the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad Company from
increasing its rates to New York,
Councilman Joseph Lee will start the
movement, and says that if there is a
law on the statute books to prevent the
increase that it will be invoked. In his
resolution he will condemn the COM
pany for what he calls uncalled-for
bleeding of the commuters by a COM
pany which pays large dividends and
does not require the increase, but, on
the contrary, should be lowering rates.
There are more way h one OF
accomplishing the desired results" says
Mr.. Lee, las / believe that we have a
law which sets twelve miles as the
speed limit for express trains through
East Orange. I advocated the enforce
ment OF this ordinance some years ago,
but did not press 1t. I understand, how
ever, that the State of New York has
been granted an injunction against the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
railroad, and of an injunction is
granted In New York I feel that one
can also be granted under the laws of
this State"
Mayor William Cardwell indorses any
move which might prevent the increase
in the rates, and enters into the fight
with enthusiasm. He says:
1T is an unprecedented outrage to
ask for an increase at this time, par
ticularly under the present high rates
of living said the Mayor. "and there
is absolutely no valid reason for the
increase. The railroad has not in
creased the pay of Its employees; the
number of commuters is monthly be-
coming larger, and every community
on the Lackawanna throughout the
northern part of the State Is growing
rapidly. I am greatly pleased that a
resolution condemning and If possible
seeking to enjoin the railroad will be
introduced in the Council, and I am
confident that 1t will meet with unani-
nous endorsement and pass"
