The immediate distribution OF schoo
funds under the law of the last legis-
lature will take place to-day and
amounts to the total of S2,756, 1908,
as against $2.758 ,955.96 to be collected
of The 1912 railroad tax on main
stem property, showing that the
state has collected all of the assessed

roads, on the 1912 assessment is but
.99S9529739 per cent. of the total es-
sessed, rather close collections they
say.
Under the law this money goes to
the counties and the checks go out
from state Treasurer Grosscup's Of
flee following the return of the war
rants to Comptroller Edwards office

amount allotted to each county and

MORRIS RAILROAD co.
WINS COURT DECISION
Now is Possible for Trolley to
Make Madison Connection.

The court of errors and appeals
handed down decision Thursday af-
ternoon favorable to the Morris Rail-
road company in the appeal taken
by the Sisters of Charity and Mrs.
Florence V. Twombly over the rail
roads right-of-way at Convent. 1t
will now be possible for the rail-
road company to proceed with the
construction of its road, making a
connection between the eastern and
western divisions of the Morris Coun-
ty Traction company.
The railroad company has issued
stock to the value of $4,000 and will
now have to proceed to raise suffi-
cient to build the 2.6 miles of road,
the cost of which is estimated at
SIZE, 900. The railroad management
will take Immediately with its coun-
sci, Messrs. King and Vogt, the legal
technicalities that must be attended
Ito before work commences on the
construction.
The railroad expects to follow the
grade of the Lackawanna railroad
through the Convent section as it
parallels the Lackawanna's tracks
from the Ford place to Danforth road.
demnation commissioners have as yet
been paid, the Morris railroad waiting
until the court decision was made.
The report that the Lackawanna
railroad intends to continue its tracks
at their present grade and carry Nor
mandy parkway over them by high
bridge IL true may cause complica-
tions. This scheme will not be al

GUS objections from the Morris town
ship committee and the property
owners, though the final say in the
matter is in the state board of public
utility commissioners.
! If this scheme Is attempted there
may be serious delays to the making
of the trolley connection unless the
Morris railroad was able to secure
from the state utility board permis-
sion to cross the road at grade, on
the ground that electric power was to
be used and the traffic would be at
slow speed. But there is an opinion
prevalent that the scheme put for
ward by the railroad is with the
hope of getting the Normandy Park
residents to pay something towards
the cost OF the railroad bridge. AS
originally planned the railroad was
to depress seven feet and the road
was to be raised seven feet and this
was assented to by almost everybody
concerned. Several years ago about
$4,000 was raised by the Normandy
Park people to pay towards the inn
provement but the railroad failed to
! proceed and the offer was withdrawn.
1t may be that the scheme to ele-
vate the parkway fourteen feet Is
put forward in the hope of getting
another contribution.
