PR. R. WANTS FARE
ruling VACATED
Asks Utility Board to Let Its
Proposed Raise in Rates Go
Into Effect.
snecial to the Evening stnr.

TRENTON, Dec. 10.-An applica-
ton was made to the Board of Public
Utility Commissioners yesterday by
the Pennsylvania railroad for the
vacation of the order of the board
suspending the proposed increase in
passenger rates, insofar as they apply
between stations in New Jersey. Tie
railroads in their original announce
ment gave December Is as the time
when the new rates were to go into
effect, but the Utility Board sus-
pended this schedule until March To-.
Next Monday has been fixed by the
board for a hearing on the applica-
ton made by the railroad today.
Notice to the commuters of the
State, who have complained to the
board about the increase, has been
given in q letter from Secretary
Alfred N Barber. He states that the
companies are within their legal
rights in making this application, but
1t is the opinion of the board that
it should not be considered without
an opportunity for the, original COM
plainants to be heard.
The hearing on the application for
a vacation of the order will not take
the place of the hearing on Jan
uary IL, 1915, on the question of the
business and reasonableness of the
proposed increases. The effect of the
vacation of the order of suspension,
If allowed. would be that for travel
wholly between stations in New Jer-
sey the old rates would not be
effective after December Is. The
| boards power being limited to order
| ing the suspension of increases Of
rates charged between stations In
New Jersey, vacation of the order
| of suspension of the order recently
issued would not affect the rates for
travel from stations in New jersey

lie, and further 10 ascertain the fair
value of the property upon which
such income should be figured as a
basis. The board adopted the in
come rate of s per cent. as being fair
under all the circumstances, and
after a lengthy hearing fixed the
total valuation of the property upon
which to compute the income. It's de-
termination in both respects was
challenged in the Supreme Court and
there affirmed, and the affirmance s
challenged in both respects here
The decision discusses at length
the question of whether or not a fran
chise is to be considered property, and
as such is taxab or capable of being
considered in the basis upon which
rate-making is done. Numerous
cases are cited to show that the fran
chise may be properly classed as be-
ing intangible property.
I'VE do not wish" the court says
in this connection, Ito be understood
as laying down the doctrine that the
value of the franchise is to be meas
ured necessa arily by the total market
value of outstanding capital stock
and Indebtedness. less physical valua-
ton and development cost. because
this would take no account of infia-
ton of stock values, but if such mar
ket value added to Indebtedness show
an excess, such excess is at least evil
Dental that where there are special
franchises, such franchises have some
substantial value in excess of the
mere outlays for legal. advertising
ard other Legitimate expenses in OBJ
tanning them. This element was. ap-
parentIy, expressly excluded both by
the commission and by the Supreme
Court. This exclusion in our opinion,
was error. We think there was evil
denee before the commission to in
dicate that from this STANDPOINT the
franchises had substantial value
which the commission refused to give
10 them and as the ninety-cent rate
fixed by the commission was based
on the theory of providing net in
come of 8 per cent. on the total value
of the property of the company the
ending of fact that such rate was
lust and reasonable was in direct vio-
,ation of the Fundamental theory on
which the commission undertook to
fix the rate and Is presumably not
justified bv It on the appeal Of the
pas compeny therefore, the iudg-
rnent of the Supreme Court will be
reversed and the order fixing the
ninety-cent rate VIII be set aside
The case was argued at the Novem-

FREEHOLDERS PUT
THROUGH $4,000
ITEM OF EXPENSE
Cost of Special Election, How
ever, Will Not Affect Tax
payers Until Next Year.

The finance committee OF the Board
of Freeholders at its meeting yester-
day put through a $4,000 item of ex-
pense incurred this year. which will
not appear until next years tax
budget
The $4,000 item was the cost Of the
special primary and election held in
the Ninth congressional district No
vember II and December 1. Although
the money viii be paid out at once,
it viii not be felt by the taxpayers
until the next fiscal year, which
begins in May, when the freeholders
make up the budget. BY the action
OF the freeholders, Director Evans
explained, the accounts of the county
will look better at the end of 1914.
Freeholder Malta was the only OBJ
ieetor TO the plan, which Mr.. Evans
cha acterized as a mere bookkeeping
transaction"
The mere bookkeeping transac-
ton as it was termed, was delved
into by the freeholders when County
Auditor Albert I. Guenther read an
opinion from County Counsel Jones
fixing the compensation Of the elec-
ton officers for the special primary
figured from this that the total cost
would be about $500 and accord
ingly he asked for that sum.
F'reeholder Malta made a motion
that the money be appropriated from
the surplus and revenue account,
which has an unexpended balance of
$500, 900 at the present time. Director
Evans Immediately objected on the
ground that such action would create
a deficit" which would appear in
the annual report
people would say, when reading
the report" said Mr.. Evans, that we
were poor financiers. They wouldn't
stop to inquire why the $25 600 was
spent or how, but they would blame
it on US, and you know it, Mr..
Malta"
MY plan is to borrow it, not appro-
pirate 1t. from the surplus and
revenue account" Mr.. Evans went on
TO explain. 1.-THE next May we could
pay it back by putting it in the taA
levy under the head, Special elections
account"
Mr.. Malta expressed himself as
still opposed to the plan, although
fuller explanations were made, and
Freeholders Cardwell and Quinn
Joined with Mr.. Evans. Mr.. EVans's
motion to borrow the money was
carried.
The committee, upon motion of Mr..
Mattia, voted to recommend to the
full board an increase in salary for
Charles P. O'Neill, a stenographer in
the prosecutors office. The prose-
cutor asked for an increase for Mr..
O'Neill from $75 to 300. The commit
tee compromised by making the new
figure 800. Mr.. Malta said that an
Investigation disclosed that Mr..
O'Neill was working nights and on
Sundays without compensation, be-
sides doing work outside the regular
routine.
