QUESTION THE NEED Of
A new TRANSMISSION
MAIN TO WOODBRIDGE
Further investigation Will be
Made by Utility Board to
Get Facts
BLAME THE PRESIDENT
Development of Raritan Mill
stone Source of Supply
Urged by Commission

TRENTON, n. J., May H.
In a memorandum teaming with
hot shots at Frank Bergen, president
of the Middlesex Water Company
and the PlainfieldUnioa Water
Company the State Public Utility
Commission today scored these two
concerns, but excused the Elizabeth
town Water Company, for alleged
dilly-dallying and failure to improve
their service as ordered by the util-
ity board in June, 1920.
On June s, 1920, the three COM
panies were ordered to take all steps
necessary to the completion of the
development at the junction of the
Raritan and Milestone rivers and to
report the progress of the work not
later than October /, 1920. In addi-
ton, the Elizabethtown Water Com
pany was ordered to increase the
transmission capacities of its mains
IN various streets of Elizabeth. The
Plainfield-Uniona and the Middlesex
Water Companies were ordered to
report to the board not later than
September 23, 1920, such arrange
ments they had made to finance the
cost of construction of transmits
sion main from South Plainf1eld to
Woodbridge.
Inc DOd1u QeCldIeu Lie Gil1dpCtit
town company had made material
progress toward compliance with the
boards order with regard to its
mains in the city of Elizabeth. Re-
garding the project for developing
the Raritan and Milestone source
of supply, however, the concern de-
clared that it can do nothing until
the appeal of the City of Elizabeth,
from the boards order raising the
rates of the company, is settled. Inc
city appealed the raise in rates to
the supreme court and the matter is
still pending:
In further defense of itself, the
Elizabethtown company charges that
the city of Elizabeth and the town
ships of Union, Hillside and Linden
have not paid their bills, SO that
these revenues are not available. The
board said that this was not unrea-
sonable. The rates of the company
were fixed to afford reasonable re-
turn on the property and no more.
The board did say, however, that as
long as the rate case was hanging
fire, the company's borrowing power
could not be determined.
The rates of the Middlesex Water
Company were materially raised,
said the board, and neither this con-
Germ nor the Plainfield-U Union Water
Company is engaged in litigation,
so that their borrowing capacities
are not affected.
In its memorandum, the utility
board had some unpleasant things
TO say to these two companies ana OF
their head, in this wise:
1.-THE two companies seem to be
under the domination and control

scontIand,s Patron Saint.

st. Andrews day Is November So
st. Andrew, the patron saint of Scot
land, was the first disciple of Christ,
and afterward an apostle He was.
like his brother Peter. a fisherman.
Previous to his recognition of Christ
as the Messiah he had been numbered
among the disciples of John, the Bap-
fist. The career of ST. Andrew as an
apostle after the death of Christ Is un-
known. Tradition says that after
preaching the Gospel In Scythia,
northern Greece, and Epirus, he suf-
fered martyrdom on the cross at
Patrae, in Achaia, g. or 20 A. D. A
cross formed of beams obliquely
placed is styled st. Andrews cross.
st. Andrew is held in great venera-
tion In Russia as the apostle who, ac-
cording to tradition, first preached
the Gospel in that country, and in
both Scotland and Russia there is an
order Of knighthood named In his
honor.

Illuminating "Trash."

After all, literature exists as "a
criticism Of life" and popular novels
tell us indirectly a great deal more
about the world we live In than I'M
popular ones. Any novel that sells
more than hundred thousand copies
is very informing about the public
that reads it. Great literature is
above fashion; 1t deals with the I'M
changing heart of man. 1t will tell
you the same thing so years hence,
and what it tells you will still be true.
But the book that no one will have
heard of so years hence tells you a
good deal more about the peculiar
tiles of its own decade. That is why
trash" is so illuminating-n IL is
