transfer if he had boarded the proper
Seven intersectlng and connecting
lines In this city where the company

Joseph g. Wolber, counsel for Board
of Works Commissioner William
Mungle. who brought the matter to the
attention OF the Utilities Board. to-
day declared that the city of Newark
is to be congratulated over this de-
cision He illustrated the following
case in which the passenger is en-

Take a passenger who wants to get
to Wiedenmeyer' Park said Mr..
Wolber, "he boards a car on Broad
street and transfers at Broad and Mar
ket streets for South Orange avenue
llcar Ifsthe car he boards goes 70 Hast
Ferry street, he is entitled to another
transfer at the junction of East Ferry
street and Hamburg place. OF course,
he could have boarded the Hamburg
place car when transferring for the
first time at Broad and Market streets
but under this ruling 1 believe he Is
entitled to a second transfer on sucn
connecting lines as these"
Following is the decision of the boerd
in brief.
1--WE find that the Public Service
Railway Company Is legally bound to
give transfer to any passenger pay
ing the fare of five cents upon any or
its ears, such transfer emitting the pas
senger to a continuous ride in either
direction on any street railway line
intersectng with or connecting With
the line upon which said transfer was
given; and we do further find that the
requirement to give such transfers
may not be restricted or deftnIfted 70
line that may take the passenger
without further change to his ultimate
destination, but that transfers must
be given on any intersecting or con-
Meeting line that advances the pas
senger continuously towards his uitt-
mate destination. even though rs-
transfer Is required to bring him 70
his ultimate destination.

ticular to desist forthwith and herewith
within the city of Newark from Sszas-
ing to give transfers upon any street
railway line interseoting or connecting
with the line upon which transfsrs was
originally given. provided the fare oG
five cents has been paid by the pas
senger.
