ing its decision that the Temple iron

cising control over the Temple Iron
Company, but the decree does not
grant the governments request that
the other points in the case be dis
missed without prejudice. The court
simply dismissed the other contentious

whether the government can ever take
up again certain alleged combinations
1t mentioned in its bill of complaint. !
The decree states that the Reading
Company, Central Railroad Company
of New Jersey. Delaware, Lacllawanna
and Western Railroad Company, Lee
high Valley Railroad Company, Erie

NEW YORK, Dsc. 20.-Irregularity

CHICAGO. Dec. 20-Because OF a de-
crease OF $3.50, 600 bushels IN the Euro

Southwest Kept the bears from being

DECISION AGAINST
new YORK CLEARS
WAY FOR SEWER
City's Suit Was Practically Last
Obstacle in Way of Passaic
Valley Project.

The decision OF the United State Su-
preme Court yesterday in the case Of
the city of New York against the State
Of New Jersey. In which the former
endeavored to prevent the carrying out
Of the plans of the Passaic Valley
Sewerage Commission. SO far as the
construction of a terminal station IN
New York Bay is concerned, practincai
~ renove the last serious obstacle
in the way OF the accomplishment OF
the work.
The Supreme Court denied the motion
of the city Of New York and overrnled
the claims which were used as a basis
for the suit. II is generally understood
that New York State. which had Tor
merly made similar application TO pre-
vent the commission from using Nee
York Bay as an outlet for the sewer.
will drop the case, as the contentious
were the same as in the case of the
city, AND there does not appear to be
much grounds 10 expect any different
decision If the case vas allowed 10 90
to a hearing.
1t may be said now that the friends
OF the commission and those behind thu
project did not believe that the suit
would end in any other way. and the
work has at no time been halted or the
plans altered.
Decision Is Important.
The commission is going right ahead
with the preliminary work. and yestsr
days decision will encourage the few
remaining municipalities that had not
already signiAed their intention CT
going in on the plan to fall in line with
Newark and the other cities that havs
agreed TO the contract.
This city practically assured III
building Of the eve when it agreed
to enter into q contract with the ON
mission two weeks ago, and since then
/ other towns have agreed to the plan.
II was known from the Very hrst tn 3
upon Newark's decision rested the su
cess Of tho venture. as this city is n
terssted to ove- 50 per cent. Of the
entire cost OF the undertaking.
Now that practically all legal oh
stacles have been removed and the ma
jority Of the principal towns affected
have agreed TO the contract, Il will be.
only a short time before the resl work
is started and pushed to early eoui
pietion.
It will be perhaps Eve years before
the sewer is finished. and the time
limit originally set will have to be ex-
tended on account of the many delays
that have been encountered.
