DEFEAT MEASURE
WOODBRIDGE HAS
BEEN FIGHTING
Public Utility Measure Beaten
in Senate Yesterday
Through Efforts of Senator
Ramsay and Officials.

Senate bill No. s233, which would
have permitted the Board OF Pubfc
Utility Commissioners to authorize
the making of physical connections
between lines of regularly tncorpo-
rated railroads and street trolley car
systems, was defeated by half
dozen votes through Senator William
E. Ramsay's efforts In the senate yes
terday. 1t was the claim of officials
here and in Woodbridge that the
measure would have benefited corpo-
rations, particularly the Public Ser
vice Railway Company and would
have proven a detriment to munich
paIities, particularly Woodbridge
Township at this time. For time
It appeared as though the bill would
be passed as have other utility meas
ures introduced by Senator Read.
Ramsay Flights tor Woodbr- -dge.
DR.. Ramsay used every effort in
behalf OF Woodbridge and Perth
Amboy to bring about the downfall
OF the measure and succeeded. he
spoke against its passage, declar-
ing that such a measure as would
authorize the connection of railroad
lines with trolley car systems, there
by enabling steam or Eother railroad
trains to operate on ordinary street
car lines, was not BIT measure to
pass His argument carried the re-
quired weight to turn the power of a
majority of the senators against the
bill ant 1t vas defeated by six votes.
II is the belief Of Woodbridge
township officials, who fought the bill
tooth and nail, that 1t was. designed
by and introduced at the request of
the Public Service Corporation to on
set the court decision affecting con-
Meeting link between the elizabeth
& Trenton Railroad Company's fast
trolley line and the regular Public
Service trolley system at Sewaren.
Vice Chancellor Howell ruled In
favor of Woodbridge In the case. de-
Gliding that the utility board had no
right to grant connection between
