Court Permits Operation
OF InsoIvent Oil Firm
Decision in Island Company
Case Influenced by New
Field PROSPECTS,

a conference between receivers and
creditors Of the Island Oil and Trans
port Company before Judge John c.
Knox in the Federal Court yesterday
resulted in the signing OF an order
authorizing the former TO continue bus
mess for at least two weeks and to
use for that purpose whatever funds
they received. The order may be re-
voked at any time on one days notice,
and will be reviewed April 6.
The need of court action arose out
of the method by which the oil concern
operated The Island Oil and Trans
port Company functions merely as n
holding corporation, owning almost all
the stock of the Island Oil Marketing
Company, which handles distribution
and manages two Mexican companies
which produce and pipe the oil. The
bills for ali four concerns are paid by
the marketing company, which is in the
hands of a receiver and has creditors
other than those of the parent corpora
tion, who have objected to the disburse-
ment OF its income TO paw the bills Of
the three other companies.
Judge Knox, before signing the order
to continue disbursement according to
the plan established before the receiv-
ership, declared some action must be
taken to keep the interlocking organ
ization ahoat, especially since new
field whose successful development
would make the Island Oil and Trans
port Company solvent may be opened

William B, Mackay lr., OF Bergen

Senate. wrote yesterday to the State
Water Supply Commission protesting

authorized to make q reservoir for
Bayonne,
j. Ernest Thier, Supervisor Of Roads
in Bergen County, pointed out that inc
loss Of taxes on property which would
be submerged. much Of it consisting OF
country estates, would impose burden
on the county and that Bergen County,
developing as rapidly as it was, should
have Been permitted to retain ITS own
watersheds against time OF need
"Never having made study Of the
water supply situation of the state,
said Mr.. Thier, 81 am not familiar with
conditions. but it appears to me that
the city of Bayonne is following the
lines of least resistance by coming 20

held in reserve for Bergen, as it is the
fastest growing county in thc state
if not in the country, and in justice to
ourselves and the very name under
which this commission exists, we
should be compelled to conserve that
which Bergen County has and needs: "
Governor Edward 1. Edwards, at his
ofice in Jersey City, said Bayonne has
been paying about $40 million gallons
for water from the East Jersey Water
Company, a private concern, and that
.as the company contract runs out in
1929 Bayonne merely sought TO pro-
tect itself against high water rates
after expiration of the contract.
"Fifty years from now the big ques-
ton which the state will have to face
is water" Governor Edwards said.
Water supply should not be in the
hands Of private concerns, but should
be made one of the functions of the
state"

With That of Neigl1bor
Principle Is What Hurts
Letters No More Cause of
Revolt Than the Tea Tax
in American Revolution

The uproar in Bulgaria which has
brought about the resignation of two
Cabinet ministers and nov threatens
the country with civil war, is not
caused by the elimination of two let
ters from the Bulgarian alphabet, any
more than The tea tax was responsible
Tor the American Revolution, according
to members of the Bulgarian colony in
New York AS has been said in other
connections-it's the principle of the
thing.
Dispatches from Sofa tell of the
serious disturbances which have fol-
lowed the official decision of Premier
Stauboulisky's government TO dispense
with the use of the letter "r" and the
double "e." In February, when the
edict was announced, students staged
= public demonstration in the capital
3ity of Sofia, which was broken up by
the police, with considerable damage
20 the clothing and heads of the dem
onstrators.
Faculty Goes on Strike
Early in March the faculty of Sofia
University went on strike in opposition
to the proposed change, and mass meet
ings throughout the country supported
the educators in their protest. An in
which apparently reached its climax this
week when NJ. Tourlakoff, Finance Min
ister. and NJ. Omartchevski, Minister of
Education, handed their portfolios to
the Premier and Joined the protesting
faction
The real reason, according to local
students of Central European affairs, Is
not the letter "r" and the double "e''
vt all, but rather whether Bull
gsria shall continue to be Bulgaria,
proud, self dependent and aloof from
the other Balkan states, new and old
or whether she shall pemit her nation
ality and her language to be merged
With that of Serbia, her neighber, an
eient rival, and bitter enemy during
the war.
There are two parties in Bulgaria,
Professor Michael Pupin, of the De
partment of Foreign Languages at Co
lumbia University. explained yesterday,
"One of those parties believes that the
best interests of the country are served
by bringing Bulgaria into line with the
other Central European states, the
other insisting that Bulgaria shall
maintain her own national identity and
bitterly opposing all attempts to align
her with Serbia. The governments ac-
tion in eliminating the letters "r" and
the double "e" is designed to further
its policy of co-ordinating Bulgaria
with the other neighbor states.
Letters Not in Serbian Alphabet
The Serbian alphabet does not CON
tain the letters in question, and, in
fact, these letters do not figure in the
spoken Bulgarian language, although
New-York tribune., 1922-03-26

they heve certain signiicances when
written or printed. Their use TO indi-
cate whether the preceding consonant
should be given the hard or soft, pro
nunciation is historic, Opponents of
the change, therefore, insist TINT in
eliminating these two letters Bulgaria
is resigning her ancient heritage for a
mess of modern pottagc. In short. those
in Bulgaria who hate the Serbs are
opposed to the change, while those who
are friendly toward Serbia are in favor
Of It.
Apparently the majority are for it..
AT any rate, the Premier has reorgan-
lied his Cabinet and continues IN Office
according TO the latest advices to reach
New York, and the Bulgarian Parla-
ment has undertaken to slap q fine
equivalent to nearly $4,000, with three
months in Jail, on the presumptuous
