Still Investigating.

The State Public Utility Commission Is
still looking into the complaints against
the railroads for not selling tickets TO ter
minal stations In New Jersey. John w.
Zisgen, lawyer of Ramsey. was before
the Commission, on Thursday, and COM
planned that the Erie Railway Company
refused to sell him ticket between Ram
seY and Jersey City, but compelled him to
purchase through to New York. This
point is being looked into by the Com
mission and 1t Is also making inquiry why
the Pennsylvania Railroad does not sell
tickets to Camden.
In the latter case person must buy a
ticket to Philadelphia. There are trains
scheduled to stop at Broadway, Camden,
which is about mile and half east of
Philadelphia, but the passenger who wish
es to get off at Broadway is compelled to
pay for the extra distance which he does
no. use. Passengers are not permitted to
ride between Camden station and Broad
way at any price.
The Commission In finding ground on
which to base its investigation In order to
avoid having its case thrown out of court
through basing any decisions 1t makes on
grounds which have already been held by
the federal courts to be invalid, has based
its investigation on the question not Of
reasonableness of rates within the state,
but on the question of whether the refusal
of the railroads to give a Communication
and trip ticket rate to Hoboken, Jersey
City and Camden, while it does give such
reduced rates between other points In the
state, does not constitute discrimination
between Hoboken. Jersey City and Cam
den.
In case the Commission decides that
there is discrimination it will probably
order the railroad companies to fix a rate
II this order is upheld when brought be-
fore the courts and there Is no question
but that 1t will be tested to the very limit,
the Commission will then have an oppor.
tunity If necessary to pass on the reason
ableness of the rates established as re.
suit Of Its order.

An Answer.

Editor of THE NEWS:
Dear Sir Having been a subscriber
to the Circulating Library since its organ
ization, and being deeply interested Ill
its welfare, have read with interest the
two letters published in your columns
within the past fortnight. most heartily
endorse everything contained in the first
article, but would suggest that the "Criti-
ciser" investigate somewhat more thor
oughly the statements so positively made,
as to the methods employed in the transfer
of books from one subscriber to the other.
The Librarian enforces the bylaws and
rules governing the circulation of DO oks
SO rigidly, that she frequently incurs the
displeasure of the Library's patrons. By
law reads: mo book shall be reserved
for any ticket holder and under no cir
cumstances is this bylaw disregarded. In
the majority of Circulating Libaries a
waiting list" is kept, and applicants for
books are given them, in the order of
application; no such method is here en-
ployed.
''Criticiser" states in the closing para
graph of the letter above referred to: 81
think there is little encouragement
for one to become subscriber, merely
for the purpose of letting two or three
have the continued use of the desired
books, without even going to the Library
to have them transferred" The writer
is either wilfully disappearing the
management, or palpably ignorant.
Under no circumstances does the
librarian transfer a book from one sub
scriber to another, unless the book is
brought into the library, placed on the
table and the transfer there made. This
rule is most stringent1y enforced.

The Board of Directors of the Beach
HaYen Bridge and Turnpike Company,
which Is to build a bridge across Mana,
hawkin bay from Manahawkin to Long
Beach, and then connect with Beach
Haven and the beach resorts on the 100
foot wide boulevard to be constructed by
the Township of Long Beach the whole
length of the island has selected the
engineer to do the work. The man chosen
Is William H. Ford who recently built
the bridge and causeway at Stone Harbor
In Cape May county. The selection was
made after the directors of the local com
pany had first visited Stone Harbor and
inspected the work there They found the
conditions very similar to those at Mana
hawkin and 1t is proposed here, as at Stone
Harbor. to fill in the roadway across the
meadows and bridge the channels In the
bay. One drawbridge. probably two. will
be required. Mr.. Ford has been instructed
to prepare plans at once. 1t is the inten-
ton Of the Bridge Company to have this
new bridge across Manahawkin Bay COM
pleted If possible by July l, 1919.
The petition of Long Beach Township
for the appointment Of commissioners to
condemn the land for the 100 foot boule.
ward Is already before the court. This
boulevard will meet the bridge at the sea-
shore end and connect the whole island
with the mainland.
