Traction May Aid
p. r. T. Float LOal,

Continued from PAGE One
Council tomorrow, when the council
men will apply for a ruling from the
city solicitor before proceeding with the
consideration of the higher fare.
To Arrange Hearings
Public hearings will probably be
scheduled by the committee IL the city
solicitor rules that Council may act on
the application of the transit company.
The question narrows itself down to
whether the public service act passed in
1913 erndicated the city government as
a factor in determining fare increases as
provided in the 1907 contract.
Hugh l.. Montgomery. the chairman
Of the transportation committee Of
Council. said yesterday that no action
would be taken in the matter until the
city solicitor advised the councilmen
on their rights and duties In the higher
fare issue.
But since the city's opposition to the
original no transfer tariff was waged
successfully by the city solicitor. largely
on the ground that the company had
ignored the provisions Of the 1907 agree
ment in failing to obtain Councils ap-
proval before submitting the tariff to
the commission, il is not expected that
he will advise the members of Council
that they have no right to pass on the
straight fve- cent fare proposition.
II Is known that the company would
welcome a decision by the city solicitor
by which Council would neither approve
nor disapprove the tariff. but would
merely put the entire question up 10 the
Public Service Commission. That was
the procedure followed in 1918. when the
company sought to get Councils to agree
To a straight six cent fare. Councils
refused to act. and the comnany never
pressed the higher fare proposal before
the commission.
The issue is raised by Colonel Sheldon
Potter's recent letter TO Council in
which he explained that he voted
against the submission Of the tariff to
Council on the ground that the com.
mission has sole authority to act and
that Council has no right In the matter,
/ the 1907 agreement notwithstanding.

.GLASSBORO SCHOOL
|SAGA|N DELAYED
Bids on New Normal Building
Laid Over Because Of
Lack Of Funds
MAY GO OVER UNTIL 1921

GIassboro, n. j., Sept. 20.-Until an
additional appropriation Of. at least
$3.50, 900 is provided by the State Leg
islature. no work will be started upon
the proposed new state normal school
on the site acquired here for that pur-
pose by the state more than two years
ago. The bids received this week by the
State Board of Education for the pro-
posed new normal school buildings had
to be laid over because sufficient funds
were not available to go ahead with
the work. .-..
State Senator Edward L. Sturgess,
Of Glassboro, rushed in bill during the
session OF the legislature last week to
provide for an extra appropriation of
$3.50. 900 to add to the funds Of S423,
600 now available for this project. The
total cost Of the buildings. as contained
in bids received by Francis II. Bent,
state architect. would be $8SS,517.
That is for the buildings without two
wings, as originally planned. To carry
out in full the plans of the State Board
of Education. for the South Jersey nor
NAL school. it is estimated that the
amount required will be 100000.
