QUESTIONS TAX
ON COAL STORED
IN new JERSEY
Court Asked to Decide Whether
State Has Right to Levy on
Property in Transit.
Especial to the Newark start

TRENTON, June 1.-The question
whether large quantities Of coal may be
stored in this State n then escape
taxation on the ground that 1t is sub
ject to interstate commerce regulations,
was argued before Judge Rellstab in
Hthe United States Circuit Court today,
the case being that of the Susquehanna
Coal Company against the Mayor and
Council of South Amboy and Alfred 7,
Kerr, collector Of taxes of that city.
The company brought the suit to have
set aside the taxes assessed against il
on the coal stored in South Amboy for
the years 1908. 1906 and 1907. James p.
vredenburgh and Alan H.. Strong rep
resented the company. The tax for 1906
assessed by the South Amboy taxing
authorities was s7,S75. upon 10000 tons
of coal; for 1907, 1t was ST. 0 ,6s on 3d.
$50 tons, and for 1908 s7,044.4o on 1913. $50
tons.
Counsel for the company argued that
the tax was Illegal because 1t wasSas-
sessed in violation of the constitution
of the United States, the Federal gov
eminent having the sole power to regu-
late interstate e
It was claimed that the coal was only
temporarily in this State, having mere
1y been stored while awaiting shipment
to purchasers.
Another argument was that the coal
as the property of the company. was
part OF the capital stock in Pennsyl-
vania for the years in question and
therefore, IL compelled to make these
payments, the company would
be doubly taxed on the same
property. 1t was held further
that as personal property the
coal was taxed at its final destination
in the various States where its pur.
chasers reside and so should be taxed
in New Jersey.
Frederick M. p. Pearse. representing
South Amboy, argued in favor OF The
tax standing against the company.

r T OUTSIDE WORK,

| Education held last night new rules
were adopted covering the outside work

lating the time of the members af-
fected by the new order of things.
e. r. Guilbert, architect Of h board,
was permitted to retain his member
ship In the firm of Guilbert & Beetle,
but upon the understanding that his
work for the firm should be of an adj
visory nature only, and done at a time
| when his work for the board is finished,
George w. Knight, consulting en-
| gfneer of the board, told the members
that he had been retained by the BOARD
of Education of Harrison to advise
that body in certain matters. He was
allowed to continue this outside work.
when it was shown that he would use
his own time In which to advise the
Harrison board. and that 1t would in no
way conflict with his position In this
city.

struction branch of the board were
given power to suspend any assistant

URGES SELLING OF
C|Ty'S HOLDINGS
OF IDLE PROPERTY
Salary Increases Granted to City
Hall Clerks by Aldermanic
Committee on Finance.

An important recommendation was
made At list nights meeting of the
Common Council committee on finance,
when City Counsel James r. Nngent
suggested that the public buildings
committee be asked to submit an early
report on the holdings OF property by
the city.
The principal object back of the
recommendation is the desire to dispose
of such property as the city will not
use itself and which at present pro-
duces nothing.
Mr.. Nugent referred to four lots in
Branford place. a big parcel Of land at
Plane. William and Arlington streets
and another piece of property in the
Fourteenth Ward, all of which had
originally been intended for new fire.
houses. but which were later aban-
doned for this purpose. These parcels
could be sold at a good price and would
additionally begin at once to earn
something for the city.
The proposition to issue SIS, 1000 in
bonds for a new public bath in the
Third Ward, as recommended by the
Board of Works, was laid over until
something definite is learned of the
kind of bathhouse that it is proposed
to build.
The Board of Works will be asked to
submit plans and explain what is in
tended.
The city Tax Board, through Presi-
dent John l.. Carroll, was granted an
increase of s1.1Oo to apply to the sal
aries of seven clerks. This is in line
with the desire to equalize salaries in
all departments.
A similar move was made in the
c~omptroller's office when three clerks
were voted an increase In salary from
81, $50 to $500 a year.
Alderman James Shape, chairman of
the Fourth of July celebration commit
tee, was granted $1,000 to carry out
this years plans. 1t was also voted TO
allow the band concert COMMITTEES an
extra 81, 900, which will enable the COM
mittee to provide for a longer season
and also furnish four extra concerts
on the Fourth of July.
The Playground Commission was
granted 81, 700 to get the different play
grounds IN condition for the summer.
The request Of the City Home trus-
tees for ST. 900 for a new schoolhouse
was again postponed. This question
has been repeatedly discussed by the
finance committee, but It seems i'm
possible to agree on any-definite action.

LOSS OF WEIGHTS 81 YEARS
AGO IS JUST DISCOVERED
Missing Standards Make Law Fixing Penalties for Bad Scales
and Measures Ineffective, Declares Director STRAIT
ton, of Department of Agriculture.

Notwithstanding the existence of the
law Of 1908. designed to establish 8
standard OF weights and easur and
the numerous local ordinances based on
that law. New Jersey is and has bee :
| without a legal standard such as the
United States statutes require for al
least twenty-one years.
This statement has recently been
made by such an eminent authority as
Director Stratton, of the Bureau OF
| Standards OF the Department of Ag-
riculture.
The report Is under date of May q,
and was made in response to a query by
the law firm of Coult & Smith. The
latter had previously made inquiries In
the ofic of Secretary of State Samuel
d. Dickinson. the supposed custodian
Of the legal standard, and were In
formed that the whereabouts of the
legal standards the State once had
was unknown.
A suggestion was made hat the
county clerk of Essex might have a
set of the missing standards, as the
United States statute of 1S46, which
created the legal standard, provided
that a set should be maintained in
zach county n regularly compared
with the one supposed to be in the
secretary OF states office. The county
clerks office had heard of the standard.
but a diligent search failed to show
any trace of it.
William A. Smith, of Coult & Smith,
then wrote TO washington, with the re-
suit stated. In his reply Director STRAIT
ton stated that New Jersey had been
supplied with its first set OF standards
in 1912. In 1876 the State received a
set of the metric system standards,

which Congress was being urged then
and since to adopt in place Of the pres
ent standards. On April ., 1883, an ag-
ricultural set of standards vas sent to
Rutgers College.
After the fire which partially de-
stroyed the State House in 1885 the
set of standards, which had been dam
aged, were sent Il Washington for re-
pairs. They were returned to Gov
ernor Green on December IT, 1889. Nc
one about the State House appeared to
care to assume their custody. and the
moval to the State arsenal and later
treatment a junk.
The directors letter adds hat his
inspectors reported az late as Septem-
Der Is, 1909, more than a year after the
present State law became operative,
that no standards were found in the
secretary of states Office, none In six
teen counties including Essex. and
incomplete sets only in Camden. Cum
berland, Mercer, Middlesex and Union.
All that was found In Middlesex was a
hfty-pound weight, which seems to be
the light and heavyweight gage for
that county,
In the opinion Of Mr.. Smith, with
which other lawyers agree, the absence
of the legal standard renders doubtful
the validity of existing laws and or
dinances. 1t would render difficnlt, II
not impossible. it is said, the collection
Of penalties imposed for not giving
standard weight when there is no
official standard available to prove the
short weight or measure. The remedy
suggested is for the State and delin-
quent counties to secure a set of legal
standards from the national govern
ment, as provided by law.

GREAT RAILROAD TERMINAL
TO OPEN WITHOUT CEREMONY
| $1oO,ooO0oo Station of the PennsyI
vania Lines to Be Inaugurated
in Quiet Manner.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 28.-On the
morning of November 27 a train
drawn by mighty electric locomo
tive will burrow under the Hudson
river over to the New York side and
dash into the greatest building the
world has ever seen.
The run of that train will become
an epic in the eventful history of rail
roading as it will mark the formal
opening of the new $100,O0O,000 ter.
minal of the Pennsylvania lines in the
very heart of Greater New York.
Some thoughts are too big for
words-just so is the opening of this
wonderful building too big for any
ceremony.
When a man feels most he says
nothing. The Pennsylvania lines of
ficials rightly feel that they have done
the biggest thing in the marvellous
and bewildering history of American
railroading and for that reason they
remain silent and let their great
achievement speak for itself.
The greatest ceremonial pageant
that man could devise would be
dwarfed into insignificance by the
massive, yet simple, grandeur of the
new structure.
For years an army of men have toll
ed above and beneath earth and wa
ter to accomplish the greatest build
ing and engineering achievement the
world has ever seen. Millions and
millions of dollars worth of material
work and brains have been poured in
to the great crucible of endeavor, and
the finished product has no equal on
this earth
This is probably the first instance
in history where the men back of a
great enterprise have had sufficient
faith in it to let it speak for itself.
The Pennsylvania lines has just
cause to be proud of its New York
terminal. 1t is the greatest thing OF
it's kind the world has ever known.
Surely it needs no inadequate pyro
technics Of gewgaws to introduce it to
the public.
The ceremonies would be forgotten
in a few days. but the massive termi
nal will stand in it's enduring but
simple grandeur as the years roll by
as the highest pinnacle of achieve
ment in railroad history
