Jitney Men Put
Out of Business
$4,000 Bond Requirement Stops
Competition To TrOlly

The Penns Grove and Carneys Point
iitney men had a hearing before Re
corder d. V. Summerill on Saturday
last for the purpose of testing the
legality of a Borough ordinance which
requires that a bond of $4,000 be Sc
cured for each and every car. This
law the Jitney Association claims IS
both unconstitutional and defective.
The unconstitutionality only was
attacked by Mr.. William b. Knight,
counsel for the Jitney Association,
who read extracts from several acts
of the Legislature which tended to
show that boroughs townships, or
other governing bodies could not
legally make and that had been in
force when the present Borough or
dinance had been passed. Nh. Knight
commended that as the defendant, w.
". Leap, had purchased a State pas
senger's license and a drivers license
that he had filled the lawful require
ments and should be discharged.
Mr.. Grier, the Borough Solicitor,
commended that the Borough ordinance
was legally drawn and is in force, and
read from the State law that If any
par of the above law was oppressive
or burdensome then the whole law
was defective and added, since OPP
posing counsel held that it was effec-
tive. he asked that the defendant be
convicted under its terms.
The Recorder imposed a penalty OF
$40 and costs. q

AS your charges against the Salary
account are fixed as follows: Collec-
tor, $1,000. Assessor, $500. Clerk,
$500. Overseer of Poor, 5000. Soil
citor, 5000, and are the only charges
direct against salaries, amounting to
S2700, it is thought the Salary account
may be cut from $4,000 to $2700.
1t appears as though 1922 might be
a difficult year for some of us to meet
our tax obligations and it is therefore
thought, by making the budget low
and still meeting operating expenses,
it would be well to use as fast as cur
rent needs require, the items of Anti
cipated Revenue, along with the
amount raised by direct taxation, in
stead of holding it for the coming
years use as has been the practice.
Any receipt, of course, over that an
ticipated will have to be reserved for
next years, expenditure.
Respectfully,
Walter A. Hunt.
Insurance to the amount of $4,000
was ordered discontinued and the
agents notified.
Clerk Struble said he had been in
terrogated by several jitney drivers
in regard to the $4,000 bond required
by all licensed jitneurs under the Or
dinance. They wanted to know if they
secured the bond and then they were
rejected as drivers would they be re-
imbursed for the cost of the bond.
The matter was turned over to Soil
citor Grier who will give the neces-
sary information at the next meeting.
Charles Leonard stated that he was
again in the employ of the dupont
Company in Penns Grove and could
give full attention to his work as
Overseer of the Poor.
William P. Denny said the County
Board of Assessors had increased val
ations at Union Corner and decreased
them on Main Street. This practice
made it seem as if there wasn't much
use for the local Assessor.
He was one of the sufferers. His
special grievance, however, will be
taken up by the Board together with
the Solicitor and Assessor and a
satisfactory adjustment made.
Reference vas made to the grow
ing habit of many residents in litter
inc the streets with ashes, garbage
and trash of all kinds. 1t was sug-
gested that the police force get busy
and notify the offenders to stop it
Continued violations will result in the
ordinance being strictly enforced.
Council will meet again on Tuesday
evening next.

Gentlemen:-
Referring to your notice that a pub
lie hearing on the Budget Ordinance
will be granted this evening, | beg to
submit the following on behalf of
some of the Borough citizens.
1t is noted that the amount thought
necessary to be raised by taxation for
1922 is $26,900.07.
1t is thought, perhaps, that this
amount can be decreased by about
500 making it necessary to ask
the voters for only $16,900.07, inasmuch
as you have not taken into account
outside which will come into
the Borough Treasury through items
as follows, and these figures are
based upon the amounts that should
have been received by the Borough
