Other Cities.

Emphasizing the fact that Newark
is not getting a square dear' in
freight rates. Joseph H. Wood made a
"boost Newark address before the
members of the Board of Trade last
night. Former State Senator ]. Henry
Bachelor read a paper assailing mufic-
ipal ownership, except that of water
plants, and Fire Commissioner Mat
thias Stratton spoke on Newark as a
Manufacturing Centre
These were three papers which were
to have been read at the recent boost
Newark dollar dinner" There had not
then been time for them, however, SO
they were e last night instead.
Mr.. Wood said in part:
Transportation and traffic are of the
greatest Importance to the development
of u city.
T give you an idea of the irnpor-
lance of vehicle traffic, according to the
statistics carefully gathered in 1909, the
tonnage between Newark and New
York of manufactured goods and mer-
chandise over the Plank road exceeded
GOO, 900 tons, a greater tonnage than
shipped by any one railroad running
out of Newark. But the improvements
now under way are being conducted in
a most dilatory n neglectful manner

tion OF freignt rates.
Newark should be included within
the lsnterage limits OF new YORK mar
Dor. 1t Is manifestly unfair that a
manufactures located upon our New
ark should not enjoy the
same rate as the manufacturer located
at Yonkers on the Hudson river. II
costs the railroads to make deliveries
within the lighterage limits as they are
now established three cents per 100
pounds, or $4,000, 900 annually. and yet
a consignment by New York to a manu-
facturer on the Newark meadows gets
no benefit and is obliged to pay not
only the full tariff rate but the add.
tional expense of getting the goods
from New York to his factory. This
