SMOKE ITSELF
NOT NUISANCE
Court Says Railroad Can
Select Its Own Fuel.
(From the NEWS Correspondemt.)

Trenton, Oct. Tn affirming Fri
day afternoon the conviction of the
Erie Railroad for maintaining a soft
coal smoke nuisance in Jersey City,
the Supreme Court ruled that while
the use of soft coal per Sc cannot
be adjudged to be a nuisance, Its ex-
cessive and negligent use may create
such a condition in a built up and
populous community, and whether 1t
has done so the circumstances in any
case is a question for the jury.
The railroad company was indict-
ed and convicted en- a charge that
it SO operated it's round house and To-
comotives in Jersey City as to create
a nuisance by the emission of dense
sole coal smoke and noxious vapors
The Supreme Court In the opinion,
which was written by Justice Min
turn, says that 1t must be conceded
that the railroad company, under its
charter, possess the legal right to
burn any kind Of coal necessary for
the operation of its road, but this
concession carries with it the 1imita-
ton that such operation shall not
include the right to create a public
nuisance by doing the legalizsd act
In a negligent manner Continuing,
the opinion says:
I'VE find nothing in the charters
of the constituent companies of the
defendant which comedies to it the
absolute right of burning soft coal
ad libitum regardless Of the public
right. And In the absence of such a
concession we must that
while the Legislature granted to the
defendant the right to operate US
railroad, this right carries with it no
grant or power to commit a nuisance.
But upon the contrary, we must as
sumo, 80 that it was within legis-
iative contemplation that the fran
chise granted to a quasi public cor
poration, would be so exercised as not
to create detriment and damage to
the BODY politics."
The Supreme Court fins no error
in the trial in the Hudson County
Court and SO the convection is af-
firmed.
