MAKING THE NEW LAW
OBNOXIOUS AS POSSIBLE
(Special Correspondence.N

Trenton, May 11:-That the Public
Service Corporation seeks to make the
new public utility law as obnoxious as
possible, in the hopes that there may
be a demand for its amendment, is be-
lieved to have been confirmed by the
statement which Thomas N. McCarter,
the president has issued.
Mr.. McCarter, in starting the state
ment which he has given out for the
Information of the public, states that
representatives of his company appear
ed before committees of the Legisla.
ture and gave their views with refer
enee to certain provisions of the Egan
public utility bill. He declares "there
are certain provisions in the bill which
time will prove to be improper and i'm
practical"
Mr.. McCarter declares that the law
makes it mandatory upon corporations
certain things and cit will take much
study on the part of the commission,
and we anticipate on the part of the
courts, to harmonic the act and to ap-
ply its various provisions in a reason
able manner"
He calls attention to the fact that
Section IS makes every sin Of omission
a misdemeanor, and the officers of the
company punishable for such. Again,
that section SO makes "'every utility
company that disobeys the law guilty
of a misdeamor and punishable as
such.D
