Can't See .'Sauing"
On Water Decision
CONTINUED from page ~

Commission will show that the Water
Company has reason to be complac-
ent if not really happy over the out
come.
+ at is decreed in effect that the
company's actual service revenues
are not to be less than they were be-
fore. for what they may take off the
bills of private users they are al
lowed to add on to the bills OF the
municipalities for fire hydrant serv-
ice. =. /.
1.-THE people who get little relief
from private water taxes, as it were,
are likely to find the relief taken
away from them in public water
taxes later on. To some this will
seem like a joke, though not one on
the Water Company. To other peo-
ME # NAV suggest the venerable
confidence game known as film liam,
But. whatever it is, nobody but a
very enthusiastic press agent, DIS,
regardful of the verities, would call
it a victory over the Water Company:
True, it may be, that as result OF
the claims made in this proceeding
by the Water Company as to the. tru.
extent of its plant investments in the
county, it will be required to pay
larger taxes as a result of the in
yestigation. But even this advan-
tage is more apparent than real, for
the Public Utility Commission has
ruled land, of course, rightfully as
to this), that in fixing rates for serv-
ice the company must be allowed
return that will yield not only GER
tain fair income on its investment
but a reimbursement, for taxes and
operating expenses. So that, in the
final analysis, the Water consumers
nav the Water Company's taxes
This is an inevitable incident OF the
private ownership Of a public utility
"You ask me what think OF Judge
Seufert's effort to collect $l5,OOt
from the county for his services as
a legal crusader against the Water
Company in this proceeding. Well
think it is astonishing, in view OF the
fact that it appears he was not re
tanned or engaged by any public au
thority, and that, like others who IN
terested themselves in this matter
he was thought to be giving his sery
ices as a matter of public spirit. II
any event l think the proposed te'
indicates on the part of the judge az
all too generous estimate OF tn,
value of his services to the people.

ham announced yesterday the name
and opening date OF his third annual
super production at the New York
Hippodrome. The title will be
"Cheer Up," and the first night per-
Torrance was held last Thursday
evening.
The huge army of people engaged
in the various departments OF the
worlds biggest playhouse has been
rehearsing steadily since July first,
and structural changes in the stage
proper have transformed the huge
ice plant into the largest steel-en-
cased tank ever used in an aquatic
spectacle, for Mr.. Dillingham; an
nounces that the skating divertise-
ments of the past two years will give
way to water scenes on more elabo-
rate scale than ever before. This re-
suit is made possible by the new pro
scenium arch which gives additlo lal
depth to the stage, from footlights
to back wall, and which will project
the water surface twenty-four feet
nearer the audience than formerly.

Lives In Hackensack:
Read This to Prove Il

Promised $500 "easy money" in
exchange for putting up cash bail
for a man said to be in the county
Jail here, John COST, of lit Hudson
Street, was neatly trimmed OF $406
of his hard earned money.
COST was met by two New York
men one morning last week in Hack
ensack, whom he says he did not
know, and induced to furnish the bail.
After drawing the cash from the
bank, he proceeded with them to the
court house and there waited outside
while one of the men went into the
building. He shortly appeared,
handed COST bundle wrapped up IN
a handkerchief and told him it was
alright, that they wouldn't need the
cash. They then disappeared and
with them the $4O6 in cash. The
bundle contained only old news
papers strips rolled up to represent
the coin.
COST notified the police who made
an unsuccessful effort to locate the

High Cost Of Hurry
Name Of New Moul.
By Public Service

ton picture film made for safety
educational purposes has just been
completed for Public Service and is
to be released within short time in
connection with the safety first work
of the corporation.
About 5000 feet of film has been
taken and the scenes, the taking of
which occupied month, are laid in
various parts of Public Service prop
erty, from Edgewater to Camden.
Many trainmen appear in the pic
lures as well as other employees and
the actors and actresses who take
the leading parts.
The story, the title Of which is
"The High Cost of Hurry" deals with
the fortunes, or misfortunes, of the
"Hurryup Family" which consists
of a father, a widower, and two
daughters. The parent, out Of en-
ployment, advertises for job, and
the advertisement is answered by
the superintendent of employment of
the trolley company, who sets a
time for an appointment. The appli-
cant failed to arise in time the next
day, and, realizing his lateness, he
hurries. This haste leads to domestic
mishaps and the narrow escape of
the man from being run down on the
street. He arrives too late to get
the job.
The older girl goes shopping in the
gets off a trolley car the
wrong way and is hit by an auto
,<hi hn fafxr
director of the trolley company is in
the car and he takes the girl home.
A romance developed and thorough
the efforts of the safety director the
girls father is given another chance
for a position and qualities as a
motorman. His old habits cling to
him, however, and finally he causes
a rear-end trolley collision which is
fatal to him.
The younger daughter of the
family has traits opposite to those
of her father and sister, and she is
seen going into the street to warn
children at play of the dangers Turk
ing in the highways.
The attachment between the safety
director and the older girl deepens,
and jealousy seizes the girl which
eliminates when she observes her
fancee assisting another young wo
man whom he has just saved from
the results of haste and carelessness.
The situation is not understood by
Miss Hurryup, woh fees from her in
tended husband who tries to explain.
In her frantic desire to ge away
from him she leaps from a ferry
boat, but is rescued by her lover. In
the end the pair are married and
take into their home, for adoption,
the child of an accident victim. A
is shown of the home of
misery and that where the inmates
observe the principles of safety.
The film shows many forms of ac
cidents arising from haste and care
lesness which the safety director
uses in his lectures which punctuate
the story.
The scenanario was written and
the production directed by Walter c.
Van Brunt, director for Mrs. Kath-
crime F. Carter, whose company
specializes in educational motion pic
lures. After the first release of the
pictures for Public Service they will
be placed in general circulation.
