WOULD WIPE OUT TAX
Government Takes Step to Relieve
Trolley Line Of Levy

The United States Government which
defeated Gloucester City last year 10
its attempt to collect taxes from the
shipyard built by the United States
Shipping Board in the upper end of that
city has now taken steps to have the
franchise tax and gross receipt tax im e
posed by the State Board of Taxation
on its trolley road wiped out. The trol-
lev road built by the Emergency Fleet
Railway Company, New Jersey cor
poration, and which is controlled by the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. runs
from Broadway and Warren street,
Gloucester. to Iorkship village, dis
tance of about two. mites.
The state board levied the franchise
tax and also the tax on the gross re-
ceipts because the line is operated by
the Public Service Railway aS one of
its branches. and connects with its main
line at Gloucester. The road is doing
a good business and making money.
Gloucester also levied a personal tax
assessment of $4,000 on the railway.
The appeal was filed by Joseph L.. Bo-
dine. the New Jersey district attorney.
for the government. and the appeal will
be heard in Trenton on Tuesday,
April G.
Both Camden and Gloucester will op-
pose the tax being wiped out. Il is
claimed that inasmuch r. the road Is
oppratpd for gain that a tax be paid, Is
likely that City Solicitor Rlcukley, of
Camden. and City Solicitor Lotzgus, OF
Gloucester, will attend the hearing.
