NEW JERSEY GETS
30 CENT GAS RATE
Court Of Errors Rcvcrscs Itself
Sustaining Service
Board Order.

TRENTON. y. j.. June 14.-By a de.
peals this afternoon 30 cent gas rate
In all the territory throughout New
Jersey served by the Public Service Gas
Company Is assured. The court affirmed
to-day tho 90 cent rate order made by
the Public Utility Commission. and in
doing so reversed it's own judgment OF
last December. which set aside the or
der upon the ground that the board in
fixing the rate had failed to give sub
stantial value to the special or Sec
ondary franchises OF the gas company.
The decision Is the outcome of a
rcargument brought about by the insist
ence of counsel for the commission and
for fifty municipalities directly affected
that I'm its original decision the court
had failed to give full consideration to
some points urged before H. The vote
by which the order was sustained was
6 to (. and I, Is "A coincidence that six
months ago the order was set aside by a
like vote.
The Court OF Errors based its de-
clsion to-day upon the opinion tiled by
Justice Swayzc IN the Supreme Court
sustaining the order. Judge White. how
ever. filed a concurring opinion In which
he EXPRESSED his own views upon certain
phases of the litigation.
In addition to the main case disposed
of-the appeal of the gas company-the
court reversed the Supreme Court In
holding that the order of the Public
Utility Commission was not subject to
review In certiorari proceedings insti-
tuted by the cities OF Paterson and
Passaic. two OF the municipalities az
fected.
7, u,. c,a,n.d for the oities that the
% cent rate was too high and that an
80 cent rate should be hxed. This part
OF the decision would seem to pave the
way for the prosecution Of . further ap-
peal by tho municipalities should they
