DR.. Raiguel's Lecture

On Tuesday evening, DR.. George
Earle Raiguel, Of Philadelphia, de-
livered the sixth of his series of lectures
on current events. An audience of
over so heartily greeted DR.. Raiguel
who arrived on train that was an
hour late. These lectures are attract
ing increased interest as new people in
attendance each evening we'll indi-
cate. Even Pemberton has it quota of
representative people. These lectures
are very comprehensive. DR.. Raiguel
has inside information not only on
National but International affairs
which qualities him exceptionally
for this work. He has affiliations
with men OF first hand knowledge
at Washington and very recently
the Doctor himself has been called
to assume an important positi on
with the British Government. Before
he takes this, however, he will deliver
four more lectures, in Mount Holly, on
the following dates: Thursday evenings
February IA, %, March IA, %, at eight
o'clock in the court house. The price
of admission is 35 cents. In Philadel-
phia exactly the same lecture would
cost you 81, which indicates that the
Doctor s sole purpose is not a money
making scheme, but rather to acquaint
the people with better knowledge of
current events and at the same time to
teach them better how to arrive at
more accurate deductions of events
from their own reading.

Abandon Hanover Tract For
Munitions Plant

The placing Of a munitions plant OF
the Hanover tract, near Browns Mills
has been abandoned, and the surveyor,
and other workmen there were taker
off the job last week. The principa
reason is that the military authorize.
feared sewage contamination of the
streams that flow through the tract
from which the water supply for Camp
Dix is obtained. Another reason is
said to be that the cost for the land is
too high and that the Hanover Farms
Company would not agree to reason.
able price. Another reason that may
not have been considered but which is
important, is the presence in summer
of swarms of mosquitoes in that
section.
Ocean county people now are max
ing a strong effort to have the plant
located there. Large tracts between
Writings and Toms River have been
suggested, drainage of which empties
into Barnegat pay. The particular
tract recommended to the engineers
lies on the south side of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, between Toms River
and Davenport, comprising over 5000
acres.
The Atlantic Loading Company is
to have charge of the plant wherever it
is to be located. The officers of that
concern are: president, o. j. Salisbury;
vice president, g. f. Clafin; secretary
and treasurer, Albert E. Smith. The
work of constructing the plant will be
done by the Evans Construction Com
pany, which was organized for that
purpose.
The negotiations with the Hanover
Company provided for the purchase of
5000 acres and an option on 5000
more. The plant was TO cost about
$40, 600, 900; to have 35 miles OF railroad
sidings, and to employ over 10000
hands. The first work to be done in
the plant was the loading of shells with
explosives; later a plant was to be
erected to manufacture the explosives
also.
The Atlantic Loading Co. is presum-
ably holding company for one of the
big steel concerns that make shells and
the DuPonts who supply the explosive.
A similar plant is being built at Nor
gan station, between Red Bank and
by the Gillespie Loading Co.

Franchise Rate Not Alb solute

Asserting that rates charged by Pub
lie Utility Corporations may be unjust
and unreasonable if they are too low
as we'll as if they are too high, the
Supreme Court on Thursday handed
down decision reversing the Public
Utility Commission in refusing to per.
NIT the Collingswood Sewerage Com
pany to increase It's rates, notwith-
standing it had been represented that
the company was operating at loss
and probably could not continue in
business unless permitted to raise
rates.
The opinion in the Collingswood
case, which controls several other de-
cisions, announced on Thurday, is of
far-reaching importance because it in
dicates that an erroneous construction
has been placed upon previous decls
ion of the court, which was accepted
as holding that franchises containing
rate provisions constituted irrepealable
contracts.
1t was on this theory that the Public
Utility Commission denied the relief
sought by the Collingswood Sewerage
Company, believing it was bound by
the franchise granted by the munich
pallty fixing maximum rate to be
charged by the sewerage company.
In setting aside this view, the Court
said that a municipal franchise grant
ed to public utility is conditional
grant and not an irrepealable contract.
1t held that it is within the power of
the Legislature to delegate to one OF its
agencies, in the present case the Pub
lie Utility Commission, the power to
regulate rates, and in such cases this
! power supersedes the restrictions in
the franchise.
| Two other cases are involved in this
| important opinion, those Of the North
ampton, Easton & Washington Trac-
ton Company and the Burlington
Sewage Company. In each case the
Public Utility Commission refused APP
plications to increase rates because Of
existing contracts between the corpor
alton and the municipalities in which
they operate. In each case it was aIst
proved before the Utility Commission
that at existing rates the companie
were unable to secure income sufficien
for extensions of service.
Justice Swayze, who wrote the con
trolling opinion, says the Utility Com
mission should have ordered modifi
cation OF rates and should not hav
shifted the responsibility to the mum
! cipalities by suggesting that the col
t Iporations seek municipal action for
y modification of franchises. The case
4 are RENTED to the Utility Commissio
for new hearings.

Joseph P. Tumulty is big man at
Washington, being the secretary to
President Wilson, and it is possible
that fact made him think he could
give good ADVICE to Governor Edge, SO
he wrote letter in which he expressed
some views and the letter was pub
lished in the papers. When the Gov
ernor answered the epistle Joseph may
have had the same ideas about his ex-
allied position at Washington, but he
evidently found out that Governor
Edge can also write letters. Mr.. Tum-
ulty attempted to advise the Governor
how to secure legislation that would be
beneficial to pure elections. The Gov
ernor replied that he had not found it
necessary, in the last two years, to
force the legislature to enact reform
measures. He said he appreciated the
fact that Mr.. Tumulty's experience in
Washington had been somewhat diff
ferent. The Governor said he had
found cooperation and team work to
be very satisfactory and suggested
that it might not be a worthless idea
to try that plan in Washington. He
also said that he hoped the secretary
would have more success in Washing
ton than he had in New Jersey when,
after an impassioned appeal to his
fellow Democrats to vote for local
option, one lone Democrat from Turn
ulty's county responded. The letter of
Governor Edge had teeth on it all the
way Though and if it did not cut
through Tumulty's skin it was because
the cuticle was puncture-proof.

Random Remarks

A communication has been received
at this office touching upon the annual
meeting for the election of members of
the Board of Education. The writer
suggests that the old style of holding
elections be discontinued; that instead
OF opening the polls at eight o'clock in
the evening and closing them in an
hour, they be opened some time in the
afternoon, say two, three or four
O'Clock, and close at nine o'clock. This
would give all chance to vote with
out the crowding and pushing that has
been the rule in past years. 1t would
be necessary to have election officers
named and as they would be compell-
ed to serve for long period they
should be paid for their services. This
suggestion is right in line with what
The News has advocated for a long
time. Those who have been compelled
to go to the court house and stand in
line sometimes for an hour, know what
dlscomforts they have had to endure
At the last election the polls closed
exactly on the hour and there were at
least thirty voters who did not get
chance to deposit their ballots. With
the system suggested by our cores
pendent this would all be done away
with, and there would not be chance
for grumbling because the hour allot-
ted for voting is too short time.

New Jersey enjoyed the best deer
shooting in many years last fall, ac-
cording to reports compiled by State
Protector Stratton, which show 327
bucks were killed and reported to war

deer hunter to report the deer he bags
is advocated by state wardens and will
be introduced in the Legislature. At
