OPINION MAY
Be REVERSED
City Attorney Sees New
Phase In R. R. Case.

Although City Attorney Hommann
Eas rendered an opinion on the
Lehigh Valley railroads claim OF
sewer assessment exemption to the
effect that the city cannot collect
assessments from that concern on
the Pulaski avenue Improvement, 1t
Is understood that he has discovered
a new phase to the situation which
may reverse his first opinion. If so
he will probably render another
opinion on the situation in a few
days.
When the city laid the seven-foot
trunk sewer through the Lehigh VAL
ley land several years ago it was
agreed that in exchange for the use
of the land, about a half mile, the
railroad company would not be as
sessed for any improvements in con-
nection with that particular sewer
system.
Owing to the laying OF a sewer
through Pulaski avenue, about 200
feet of which adults on Lehigh VAL
ley land, at the last meeting of the
Commissioners of Assessments for
Street improvements, the railroad
company claimed exemption under
the old agreement with the city.
There IL some question, however, as
to whether or not the Pulaski ave
u sewer can be considered a part
OF the old trunk sewer improvement
and 1t is on this ground that the
matter Is now being discussed.

Trenton, Jan. 20:-One of the inter
esting measures to appear at this ses-
sion of the Legislature is a bill to reg.
ulate tipping and providing severe PEN
alties for those who violate the pro-
visions. The bill has been drawn by
a restaurant keeper who believes that
the tipping practice hurts the poor
man. He would have a law making
tipping a crime, but says as long as
it would be impossible to have such a
statute enacted he believes the prac-
tiee should be regulated.
No matter how much a diner eats
or how much he pays for it he cannot
lawfully tip the waiter more than 20
cents under the provisions of this bill.
BARRIERS will only be entitled to a tip
of FIVE cents after q shave and an
additional nickel in case of a hair cut
and other Htrimmings.o The act
would make it a crime to give a waiter
more than 10 cents after he serves
drinks. Messenger boys or bell boys
are fixed at five cents, no matter
the service no tip Ia to exceed
cents. no matter how important the
or valuable the service.
