mother of the plaintiff, also testified.
The defendant did not appear.
Completing this phase, Justice CAL
laghan thanked the jury for its attcn-
ton, and rcsumng the character Of
presiding judge began his charge
If the jury found from the evidence
that the defendant Gromhert had been
guilty of negligence, the justice said, 4
verdict must be found for the plaintiff.
If. on tho other hand, it appeared that
there had been contributory negligence
on the part of the plaintiff, that fact
must be taken into consideration.
The jury was instructed to ignore the
fact that the trial Judge had appeared
as counsel and to render it's verdict
solely on law and evidence.
Fifteen minutes later the jury re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff, as
sessing damages at $4,000.

Hearing in L. X. T. Action
VIII Be Resumed To-day

The first hearing since October 27
in the involuntary receiyership action
instituted against the Interborcugh
Rapid Transit Company last August
will be held before Judge julius NJ
Mayer in the Federal Court at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon. 1t was learned
yesterday from source close to the
subway company that no motion for
dismissal is to be made to-day.
There have been no outstanding de-
velopments in the last two months that
are likely to affect Judge Mayors ex-
pressed opinion that the appointment
of a receiver was not warranted by the
demand of the holders of less than
per cent Of the 7 per cent notes, which
fell due September j.
Since the last hearing a little more
than S6O0,O00 of these notes have been
deposited for extension for one year
at per cent, leaving less than s2,ooo,-
600 of the S38, 400 issue still out
standing at the old interest rate
Of the 1900 noteholders it is esti-
mated that about 5000 have turned in
their notes for extension. Nearly 800
others have informed the I. r. T. that
while the prefer to retain the original
obligations they contemplate no legal
action to collect the principal.
On October 27 no action for recovery
had been started. except by Clarence
H. Venner and the two companies of
which he is pres ident-the Continental
Securities Company and the General
Investment Company. Since that time
one individual holding note for 81 600
has brought suit. The litigation in
these cases is expected to consume
many months before any obligation to
pay devolves upon the marlborough.
The general financial condition Of
the company is understood to be prac-
tically the same as in October. Bills
for equipment and operation are paid
up to September 1, leaving the GUS
tomary four months interval between
delivery and payment. Wages are paid
to date, and the company's cash bal
ance is said to have remained almost
stationary.

No Objections Made at Board
of Aldermen Hearing on
City Budget

The 1922 budget was unanimous
ly adopted by the Board of Alder
men last night by resolution after
a hearing had been called and no
opposition to the figures was heard
from any of those present. The
itemized statement was read by City
Clerk Arthur E. Graham at the con-
clusion of which Alderman-at-L Large
John N. Wester asked If anyone
present desired to speak on the pro-
posed budget. Despite the fact that
the council chamber was more than
filed to capacity no comment was
forthcoming. The unusual attend
ance, it was learned later in the
night, had been caused by the hear
ings on the cable works and dry
docks siding matters.
An invitation from the Mcclellan
Engine Company to attend a BAN
quet to be held on January 81 was
received and accepted during the
adjourned meeting. The Standard
Underground Cable Works had a
letter before the board in which it
agreed to pay its share of the paving
of Upper High street and waived
any objection to such an action II
the city decided it wanted this thor
oughfare paved in the future. The
letter was spread on the minutes.
A copy of the resolution adopted
by the water board showing their
1922 budget was received and spread
on the minutes. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company requested that
the city assume the cost of repair
ing sidewalks on Smith street just
west of the railroad tracks as this
property is leased to Perth Amboy
for market purposes by the railroad.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee of the whole.
A resolution was adopted naming
James Seerey. of III Madison ave-
nue.. master mechanic at salary of
$4,000 per year, to have charge of
the repairing of the city's motor
vehicles. Alderman Albert G..
Waters passed on the vote as did
Alderman John ]. Clark, the latter
claiming it was eleventh hour
work" and did not show the proper
respect to the incoming board.

BY CITY and COUNTY
FOLLOWING HEARINGS
FreehoIders Get But 3 0bjec-
tions to Budget and Adopt
Ordinance for 1922

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 81
Contrary to rumors floating around
the county concerning opposition to
the adoption of the county budget.
only three citizens appeared at the
hearing last night and the budget
was finally adopted as drawn with
the exception tha $4,000 was added
to the sinking fund because Of a
mistake in the certification of sink
ing fun1 requirements furnished by
the secretary of municipal accounts.
This change makes the amount of
money to be raised by taxes. $4,000
more and increases the total budget
figure the same amount.
The only opposition to any of the
budget items was IN regard to agri-
culture extension. Last year $500
was appropriated for this purpose,
and a like amount was planned for
this year. Two members of the fin
ance committee on Farm Admins
tration work. T. NJ. Applegate OF
Dayton anc George Dawson of Gran
bury appeared before the board last
night and declared that this item
should be- reduced to $1,000 giving
the sanction of the finance commit
tee of this bureau for the reduction.
After a IOiS uiScuSSioH Iioieaooi L.
A. Clinton, director Of Farm Exten-
sion .worn was summoned on the
telephone, and the three men held
conference after which all objections
were withdrawn.
The vote on the budget was six In
favor. Freei older Quackenbush pass
ing because of the fact that he had
a copy Of the frs. budget before him
and the budget as finally accepted
did not agree entirely. The free
holders were ready to open the meet
ing at o'clock, but the farm work
representatives did not put in their
appearance until $3.50 o'clock.

FRENCH ASSENT
ON SUBMARINES
Agrees to Application of In
ternationaI Law in
Operations

PARIS, Dec. 81 (By The Associa-
ted Press) The French delegation
at Washington, il was understood in
official quarters here today, already
has given assent TO the application
of international law to the operation
of submarines, which in the French
Interpretation satisfies the demands
of Great Britain that submarines
of war be prohibited from torpe-
doing merchant ships.
THE idea that France might
some day want to use the torpedo
as it was used in the case OF the
Lusitania, is absurd" said a high
official of the Quay D'Orsay, to the
Associated press correspondent to-
day.
1t appears to be impossible for
French minds TO understand why
Great Britain should maintain fleet
of half a million tons of aggressive
ships, while denying France an ade-
quate fleet of submarines and aux
iliary craft for her own protection.
The difficulty in understanding this
attitude was reflected in the COM
ment of a high French official this
morning. Speaking of submarines,
one official said:
I'VE have said all along that 1t
was necessary to fix the status OF
these craft before taking up the
subject of limitation of tonnage, so
we cannot see what justification any
one can have for questioning our
good faith in the matter"
