Perth Amboy evening news. [volume] (Perth Amboy, N.J.) 1903-1959, 1913-03-15

The price charged by coal producing company
rarely IL ever varies from that charged by every other
the railroad" companies which directly affiliated
with and controlled by the anthracite coal roads, such
the Pennsylvania Coal Company the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company and the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company.
But in a previous article It shown that the
actual cost for mining coal and allowing Tor fixed
charges six per cent the investment was s266 per
ton of 2,240 pounds at the mine showing the differ
OF s1.15 to s130 per ton, that is clean velvet"
the mine operators before the coal has started on
its journey toward the consignee.
Next we gave the charges for transportation. We
find that the for local delivery and for transship
ment from the "Iehgh" and "Schuylkill districts to
Perth Amboy are Identical The freight rate on pre-
pared sizes Is 81 SO per ton of 2240 pounds. The
authority for this statement Is found In the Lehigh
Valley tariff file with the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Amboy prepared sizes for local delivery is also $55
while from this district the rate coal for trans
shipment $140 per ton This latter rate, however,
is in effect under protest
1t Is interesting to note that the rates from the
wyoming" district TO Hoboken, by the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Railroad Company, for trans
shipment s. 33 per of 2,240 pounds prepared
Sizes This latter rate fixed by order of the Inter
state Commerce Commission in the OF the Marion
Coal Company vs.. Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company and took effect January 1 OF this
year.
Proof Of Overcharge.
That there Is great overcharge in this cost Of
transportation Is proven by the records on file with the
Interstate Commerce Commission The rate OF freight
to Perth Amboy the coal regions should not ex-
ceed 81 per OF 2240 pounds. In other words, 1t
should be fftyve per less than the rate

Valley Railroad Company a statement of costs was In
roduced into evidence which showed that the cost of
gathering transporting anthracite coal from the
Wyoming" region to Perth Amboy and the of
the empty to the mines, including actual
for the transportation, the proportonate the
expense of maintaining roadway equipment providing
for taxes fixed charges reasonable returns upon in
vestment, and including profit to another railroad
company which performed part of the service
seventy-seven cents per ton similar cost was intro
duced in the by J. H. Pennington, formerly
superintendent OF motive power of the Delaware,
sidary of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, which
indicated that the cost of gathering Of transport
ing anthracite coal from this region was sxty-one cents
per ton. This based upon made while
he was In the employ of the above railroad company.
To sum up. thus far. we find oyercharge of
from to $130 In the cost of coal at the mine and
ffty-fve cents in the cost of transportation making
overcharge, thus far, of $40 to s1s5.
The Retailers Part
Coming now to the retailer who deals directly
with the customer the experts investigation has shown
well equipped and with average round trip hauling
Of two miles in delivering his orders the Dealers
per ton substantially follows
Unloading selling, delivering. t1.06
Ios Loss usDis n breafage "a per cent? lS .lS
gls"~- s1.2s
A gross profit of sl.5O per ton prepared sizes
would leave the retailer substantial net profit This
Is especially true since at Perth Amboy and indeed all
New Jersey, anthracite coal is retaed upon the
basis OF a net ton of 1000 pounds, while 1t is pur-
chased at the mine and transported the basis OF
price the profit to the extent of II per cent.
Thus allowing the retailer $1.50 to the
pense and fair profit 81 for freight rate, which Is
shown to be fair price covering the transportation
from the mines to this city and s2.S5 for the coal, de-
livered T. b. at the mines we have total of $535.
AS each of these three different items provides
itself fair percentage of profit 1t is plain batenal
could reasonably be sold in this city at s5s5 ton.
Vet, because the railroads have complete control
Of the situation forced to pay whatever they
choose to price, which this past winter has
been s675 ton, yet already shown, while we have
been paying this price here, directly the
in Totenvlle the people are getting coal for Sc ton
which Is secured at the Lehgh Valley docks taken
the sound in boats. This is explained by the
fact that coal for shipment Is handled free by the
railroad company, whereas the local dealer must pay
switching charges and stand the cost Of unloading.
Certainly there is unjust discrimination here with
the people of Perth AmbOy the victims.
In the next article the EVENING NEWS proposes
to show the profits that the railroads have
made in the handling Of COAL the percentage of income
from this In proportion to all other freight and
also what would be possible remedy for the situation

HOLD new FIRE
COMPANY OFF
Mayor Has Not Signed the
Resolution.

Inasmuch as the city is deemed in
greater need Of hose company than
an additional hook and ladder COM
pany, and because firemen do not
care to have twenty or thirty new
members vote at the coming election
of officers for the fire department, the
institution of Humane Chemical Hook
and Ladder Company No. 8. may be
held up indefinitely. Mayor Ferd Gar
retson has not as yet signed a resolu-
ton instituting the new company, for
the reason, he declares, that he wish
es to consult the city attorney with
regard to what powers would be
granted the new members If allowed
to qualify as firemen. He is desirous
Of knowing II they would be permit
ted to vote at the coming election and
II they were to receive the regular
rate of pay for volunteer fremen,
starting at the time of their institu-
ton.
The aldermen discussed the propo-
sftion at length at the council COM
mittee meeting last night. 1t was
stated there that In cities having vol
unteer fire departments it was the
custom to have a hook and ladder
company for each Ave or six hose
companies. AS the city now has two
hook and ladder companies, not
counting the new one, to about six
hose companies, the aldermen prac-
tically decided 1t best to have an
other hose and chemical company If
new company was to be instituted
In the Penn and Washington street
section.
A hose company would cause the
city to have twenty instead of thirty
additional firemen.

Resolution Against Forma-
tion of New County--Mid-
dlesex Would Lose 1000.

At the meeting of the Affiliated

ton was adopted protesting against
the proposed route Of the state high
way between Trenton and New
Brunswick which would cause that
road to make detour around by
Princeton, instead OF following a
straight course from the capital to
New Brunswick.
In a long discussion on the sub
ject 1t was brought out that the road
would benefit this county more II 1t
did not make the detour to Prince
ton, which would carry 1t away from
this county. President Charles Nc
Cormick appointed member OF each
board in the aff1liation to compose a
delegation which will present the
boards protest to the proposed plan
at a hearing on the subject before
State Road Commissioner Stevens at
Trenton, March 25. w. ]. Trainer, of
the Perth Amboy board, was named.
The following boards were represent
ed by delegations at the meeting
which was held at the city hall New

boy and Perth Amboy. A reception
to the board followed the meeting
at one of the local cafes.
Another resolution was passed ap-
posing the formation of new county
to be composed Of the townships of
Piscataway and Raritan and the boro-
ugh Of Dunellen In Middlesex county;
Plainfield, Fanwood, and New Provi-
denee townships in Union county, and
North Plainfield and Warren town
ships in Somerset county. 1t was
brought out that Middlesex county
would losc 1920 Of It's population by
the transaction and would put the
county into the third or fourth class
The new county is to be known as
Washington county.
A general discussion of the sys-
tenn of the proposed state roads
which will affect this county was en-
tered into.
The meeting adjourned to meet In
June at Dunellen, which will be the
annual meeting when the officers for
the coming year will be elected.

Members of the Board Of Free
holders will be indicted by the pres
ent grand jury, unless they give suf-
fcient assurance by March rs that
they will provide for erection of q
new county jail or a suitable addi-
tion to the present one. according to
resolutions adopted by the grand
jury. A copy Of the resolutions ac-
companying a letter has been sent to
the Board OF Freeholders, making 1t
emphatic that conditions at tho
county jail must be remedied with
out delay.
1t Is reported the Grand Jurors
found most debasing conditions at
the county Jail. They found 1t over
crowded to the extent that nine pris-
oners were locked In a cell made for
one, and containing meager sanitary
facilities. They found fourteen
year-old boy locked In a cell with a
murderer and learned that persons
held merely as witnesses were sub
jected to the most unsanitary, de-
grading conditions imaginable. Ver-
min spread easily, 1t was learned,
and washing facilities were rank.
The grand jury secured legal ad-
vice, upon receipt of which they
learned that the freeholders could be
indicted for allowing such conditions
to exist. They will be forced to
remedy them under penalty Of indict-
ment. The only way they can rem
edy them is to build a new Jail or
increase the size OF the present one
and improve it, 1t is declared BY
county officials.
The letter to the freeholders gives
them no alternative. 1t was drawn
by Ave members Of the grand Jury
and was prepared in fashion to In
dicate that the jury WAS determined
to have improvements made. The
letter and resolutions will be pre-
sented at the next meeting OF the
