THAT RATE CASE.

The Fargo Commercial club has
filed a complaint With the interstate
commerce commission seeking for an
adjustment in rates to points OH the
opposite sides Of the Red river. AS it
is. there is a difference in rates from
the asst in favor of the east side
points which Inconvenience shippers
in the cities on the west side of the
river. This applies to Grand Forks
and East Grand Forks. and Fargo
and Moorhead especially. This mat
ter has been under consideration by
the commercial bodies Of the two cit
les for some time, and several con-
ferences have been held relating to it.
The traffic department Of the Grand
Forks club has not felt that it was

the wisest plan to bring the matter
before the interstate commission at
this time. other methods Of adjust
ment have not been exhausted. and
there has been reason to believe that
an adjustment could he reached
which would be satisfactory to the
shippers and the railroads. and 50
long as this prospect existed this APP
peared to he the quicker and more
satisfactory way.

sion is an important body. and il has
important functions to perform. Eut
il is so uverburdened with work that
it's decisions can he reached only aft.
Ell Il long wait, aid much may hap
pen in the meantime. Furthermore.
the filing of a complaint before the
commission is equivalent in form to
tl,e beginning of any ordinary suit at

cd by tho complainant. who must
have his staff of attorneys. his group
Of witnesses. and all the r%arapherna-
liza of Il tedious law suit.
In our own state railway commits
sion VIC have a body which is intend
ed TO look after just such cases. and
our commission is ready. on applica-
ton being made. to take up this mat
ter as 500 as it is deemed advisable.
1t is organized for such work. and 1t
has a fund available for just such
purposes. At this stage of the pro-
ceedings it appears. first, that it might
have been better to continue the ne
gotiaticns for some time longer and
see If adjustment might not be made
in that manner. and second, that II
other means failed. and it was decided
to appeal to the interstate commits
sion. our owr state commission would
have hcen the proper body through
which to work.

STATE PLANS 4,5OO-
MILE ROAD SYSTEM
Certain County Highways 1t Is
Proposed to Absorb to Conn
pIete the Project.

The plan to take over certain coun-
W roads to complete a State road
system was explained to the repre-
sentatives of nearly every munich
patty in the county at meeting held
yesterday afternoon in the Court
House under the auspices of the free
holders road committee. The State
road commissioner Edwin A. Stew
ems, assured the Board of Works
commissioners of Newark that it was
not proposed to take over any roads
within the city limits.
States Proposed Contracts.
The commissioner declared that in
thickly populated districts 1t was
thought better to let the local au-
thorlties manage the roads. He de-
elared that later, when the new sys-
tenn is being constructed, the State
will take up the matter of making
contracts with the cities for the main
tenance of roads used for State traffic,
Commissioner Stevens assured the
local authorities that Newark traffic
would not be still more congested by
directing State traffic through the
main arteries of the city.
a plan to construct a State high
way across the southern section of
Newark, connecting the Plank road
with Frelinghuysen avenue, leading
to Elizabeth, was outlined by S.
Howell Jones, an attorney.
About $500 miles are involved in
the State road system, according to
the present tentative plans, explained
Commissioner Stevens. The consent
of the Board of Freeholders in each
county where the commission would
take over roads must be given. He
declared thai owing to the lack of
funds it would be possible to take
over but a small mileage this year.
The commissioner explained that it
would be necessary to draw upon the
vehicle fund unless the bill providing
for an appropriation of s25o,O00 is
passed,

q question as to which of the two,
Springfield or South Orange avenue
