| A check for s17S.422.6s wss turned
over to Comptroller Parmly at the
| City Hall by the Public Service Rail
way Company today.
The amount represents per cent.
, of the gross receipts derived from
! passenger traffic within the city of
| Newark during the year ending April
| 80 last. The payment is based upon
an agreement under which the street
! railway company was permitted to
use electricity as motive power, so
| that, in effect, it is a license fee for
| the use of the streets by electric cars.
| Accompanying the check was a
sworn statement from nj. r. Boylan.
! general auditor of the Public Service
Railway Company, showing the re-
ceipts of and the payments made for
each line. Although a comparison
with the figures of the year previous
| shows a falling off In the revenues
| of certain lines, particularly those
| serving industrial sections, the total
payment Is $4,445.89 greater than last
year.
AS the period covered by the check
| ended April 80, the effect of the jitney
movement is not discernible in the
company's statement of receipts, as
there we're practically no jitneys in
operation prior to May. Whatever
! inroads have been or may be made
! by the jitneys will be apparent in
next years statement
| The company's payment to the city
| is equivalent to about four and one
! half points in the tax rate. as the
money paid is included In the con
tingent fund, from which appropria-
tions are made by the city to supple
ment departmental accounts and to
! keep down the tax rate.
