TWO PHONE LINES
USE ONE EXCHANGE

At a meeting of the directors of the
Crescent Telephone company and the
Port Byron Telephone company held
at Hillsdale yesterday afternoon, an
agreement was decided upon whereby
subscribers on either of the different
lines may be put in communication
with each other.
Under the old plan merchants at
Port Byron were forced to have two
phones. Only one operator will be
necessary at the change, and only one
switchboard viii be used, which will
eventually cut down the cost of main
tenance.
The directors want it under
stood that this does not mean con-
of the companies, and that
this arrangement was made only at
Port Byron.

GAS COMPANY HEAD VOLUNTARILY
OFFERS TO CUT IS CENTS OFF RATE

The Dover. Rockaway and Port
Dram Gas Company yesterday asked
the Public Utility Commission for
permission to sell gas at so cents in
stead of as heretofore at $1S5 a
thousand cubic feet. Strange as this
may sound, it may seem even still
more strange that the people of
Dover should protest most strenu-
ously against this reduction. How
ever. there is method in the mad
ness" of both parties to the suit.
For at present, under the $1.35 rate
the consumers have to pay nothing
for the meters, while under the lower
rate offered by the company, the con-
sumers would be required to pay 81
a month for each meter.
Captain Addison Ely, founder, and
head, and front of the company, who
appeared as its counsel at the hear
ing here told the commissioners that
unless the charter was amended to
allow of the reduction, the company
would have to go out of business.
About 1000 meters are disconnected
on account of the high price of the
gas, whereas, if the 80-cent rate were
inauguarated he said the company
could be sure of obtaining enough
business to keep afloat.
THE 81 a month for the meter
will be hardship only to those US
ing less than 1000 cubic feet of gas
a month";" said Captain Ely. "Those
who use, say, 1000 feet will, of course.
have to pay $3.50 instead of. as at
present, S1.35 But those who use,
say. 1000 feet will have to pay only
$3.50, whereas at present they are
paying $2.70"
Elmer King, in behalf of Dover, de-
clared that the companys proposed
plan would operate so as ito make
the poor pay for the rich"
Among the more interesting facts
brought out during the hearing was
this. embodied in Captain Ely's
statement:
when the company first began op-
efations in 1891 the rural population
knew so little about gas that one fell
low came to the office with a pail and
asked us to sell him that much of
gas. We also had lot of trouble
teaching the community not to blow

FINDS SENTIMENT
FOR BRIDGE PLAN
Northern New Jersey improve
ment Assn Members Urge
Hudson River Scheme.

In a letter to the Board of Free
holders yesterday, Edward c. Bren-
nan, chairman Of the North Jersey I'm
provement Association. declares that
there is an unmistakable sentiment
among business men in this city in
favor of the construction of a tunnel
and bridge across the Hudson river
between New York and New Jersey.
He states that a committee has can
vassed many concerns here, princi-
pally manufacturers. and has found
this sentiment almost unanimous.
The North Jersey Improvement As
sociation has offices in West New
York. this State, and in the Tribune
/ building, New York city. Mr.. Bren-
nan was a speaker at the recent hear
! ing held by the Board of Freeholders
on the project
After calling attention to the senti-
ment of the business men, as he says
the committee found it, Mr.. Brennan
goes on to give a tentative scheme
formed by the committee. He con-
tinues.
"Our committee suggests. merely for
consideration and to bring about a
discussion as TO the amounts each
county should pay toward these I'M
provements, that Hudson County
should pay 80 per cent. or $6,S00,000,
on the bridge: Bergen County, % per
cent, or $5,250,000; Essex County, 20
per cent, or 81, 200 600; Passaic County.
is per cent, or $3,150,000; Union
County, 10 per cent, or s2,100,OO0;
Hudson County, 25 per cent of the
cost of the tunnels, or $1,375,000; Ber-
gen County, 10 per cent, or S55Q,000;
Essex County, 25 per cent, or ST.
375, 900; Passaic County, 20 per cent,
or $1100,000; Union County, the same.
eff thirty -five-year bonds are is
sued for the payment of the amount
needed for these improvements the
amount each county will have to pay
in any one year would be SO small as
to be hardly appreciable by reason of
the tremendous increase in ratables
through the increased population and
the erection of enormous business in
situations of each county, and the in
creased amount collected on new tax
able interest would more than pay the
expenses of the Improvement.
"It is the intention of the Northern
New Jersey Improvement Association
to secure signatures to petitions OF
many thousands of voters in your
county in the immediate future, so
that in entering into this plan of inn
provement you may be upheld by
your constituencies. Your favorable
action upon this proposition at this
time will be very highly appreciated
by our association and by the citizens
