TRENTON, Dec 9.-When the In
terstate Commerce Commission at
Washington takes up for considera-
ton the proposed increases in pas
senger rates In New Jersey the com
muters of this State will have the
assistance of Attorney-Ge Wes-
colt in their fight against the roads.
Governor Fielder yesterday requested
the head of the States legal depart
ment to represent the cause OF the
commuters associations when the
hearing takes place, and Mr.. Wes-
colt advised the executive that ne
will go to Washington and oppose
any move upon the part of the rail-
roads to secure favorable considera-
ton from the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The date for the hear
ing has not yet been set.
The governor is of the opinion that
so far as interstate rates are con-
cerned the Public Utility Board OF
New Jersey has proper jurisdiction,
but in order to have the interests
of the people who will suffer by the
increases fully represented at Wash
ington decided to ask the attorney
general to appear before the Inter
state Commerce Commission at the
proper time.
The Utility Board recently sent a
communication to the National Com
mission asking the latter to suspend
the rates for interstate traffic, just
as the board has suspended, the in

TOURGE CUSTER
SUIT OVER CANAL
Breasinger Will Place Resolu-
ton of Recent Meeting Be-
fore Commissioners.
to the Evening Star.

special to the Evening star.
JERSEY CITY, Dec. '9.-When tho
Board of City Commissioners meets
tomorrow Commissioner George F.
Brensinger will place before it the
resolution adopted at a meeting of
citizens Sunday afternoon urging the
commissioners to invoke the aid of
Attorney General Weseott in pro-
ceedings to Gust the Lehigh Valley
railroad and the Morris Canal Bank
ing Company from their holdings in
the Jersey City canal basin.
81 presume said Commissioner
Brensinger, that Attorney General
Wescott is a fair-minded man, and
that if Jersey City presents to him
evidence that there is ground for an
custer suit and forfeiture proceed
ings. Mr.. Wescott will change his
mind and join in such an custer suit,
which / believe must be in the ma
lure of quo warranto proceedings,
and in which the attorney general
must join In order that they may be
brought in court.
at is UP to Jersey City citizens
associations and citizens TO help in
getting together the evidence that
must be collected before there can
be presented to the attorney general
a prima facie case.
| II believe, furthermore, that Jersey
| CITY should begin suit in ejectment
1 against the Lehigh Valley Railroad
/ on account of its occupa ton of South
| street, Dudley street and the end Of
| Hudson street.
with these various legal pro-
ceedings instituted against the Lee
/ high Valley Railroad as the lessee of
the Morris Canal and Banking Com
| pany we will be in a better position
10 force terms from the Lehigh VAL
| ley.
II believe with Public Utility Com
missioner John ]. Treacy that the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
should not DO allowed to profit by its
evil deeds. 1t acquired the Morris
Canal and Banking Company to
stife competition in trade. 1t sue
ceeded in this design and now find
ing that it has burden in the way
of an unused canal on it's hands, il
wants the Legislature TO let it gel
valuable rights that of right ought
to go to Jersey City"

Brensinger proposition to sue tht

Lehigh Valley for non-use OF mis-
user may be inferred by reference to
the report made last winter to the
Legislature by the Godfrey commits
sion, of which Mr.. Wescott was a
member, and the conclusions Of
which he approved.
on this subject the report says:
"The charter of the Norris Canal
and Banking Company has not been
forfeited. Under such charter no
forfeiture can occur unless as result
of appropriate local action proceed
ings No such proceedings have been
instituted, so far as this committee
can ascertain, and former Attorney
General Edmund Wilson and former
Judge Bennett II. Van Syckel have
questioned the advisability of such
proceedings even if sufficient facts
were found to warrant such action,
and they have advised this committee
that no facts have come to their
knowledge which lead them to be-
lieve that suit to enforce forfeiture
would be successful"
When the Board of Commissioners
meets tomorrow the authorities viii
give attention TO the proposition ad-
vanced by State Assessor George L.
Record Mr. Records plan is to have
summon the Lehigh Valley New Jer-
sey Central and other railroad repre-
sentatives and find out whether in
the event of canal abandonment a
connecting railroad could be estab-
lshed in lower Jersey City, with the
friendly cooperation of the railroads
and if not what laws are necessary
to be passed in order to compel such
connection.
In this consideration there would
come up directly the question of the
canal abandonment and the use thai
| would be made of the land and water
ways now forming tho canal termina
| in Jersey City. Mr., Record 8 proposi
| ton is that if such connecting rail.

JULY Was JUST
SHADE WARMER
Temperature Less Than One De-
gree Above the Average
Since 1871

This story Is In defense Of the
weather man. that much abused in
diyiduai who Is supposed to receive
advance Information from Medicine
Hat as to what the weather Is going
to be today, tomorrow or the day az
ter that.
During July this luckless individual
was charged with everything from
perjury to manslaughter.
The portly party who mopped his
brow as he read OF deaths from exces-
sive heat, roundly cursed the weather
man as an inhuman slayer.
The individual who made himself
hotter than ever by frequent consul
tations with the thermometer which
he got with soap wrappers, emphatic
ally declared that the weather man
was q liar because his figures did not
agree with the large. black numbers
which decorated the face OF his own
particular temperature gauge.
Yet. contrary to the general belief,
none OF these things was true. and
the declaration is made on no less an
authority than the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
July WAS hotter than usual. OF
course you knew II. II was about a
million degrees hotter than usual, you
believe. But 1t wasn't that bad.
Records kept since 1871 show that
July, 1914. averaged just eight-tenths
OF a degree hotter than the normal
temperature for the month The ex-
act average temperature for the 81
days of July was 1913 degrees, while
normal temperature since 1871 has
been 70 degrees.
Although temperatures varied &C
cording to the person who reported
them. It Is the solemn assertion OF
the department Of agriculture that
the hottest day of the month was the
twenty-ffth, when the temperature
was NOT 100 or 10, but WAS SO.
AS a matter of fact, quoting from the
same great authority. the hottest day
In July since 1871. which was July IT,
1887, when the mercury mounted to
only 101 In Detroit.
