BRITISH DEBT
/. ACTION TO-DAY
Taken Up in Senate-FeeI
Confident of Passage by
That Body

WASHINGTON, Feb. lathe
British debt funding bill was taken
up in the senate today under an
agreement reached after conferences
between President Harding and Re-
publican leaders for laying aside the
administration shipping bill temper
arily but without displacing it from
privileged status.
Later Senator King, Democrat,
Utah, objected to the plan of the Re
publican leaders for keeping the
shipping bill in privileged status and
or motion of Senator Jones, in
charge of the shipping bi the sh: p
measure was formally laid aside and
the debt funding bill given right of
way.
Consent to take up the debt
measure was given at the request of
Chairman McCumber of the Finance
committee. The leaders said they
hoped to complete debate on it by
tomorrow night.
Definite assurance that the debt
funding bill will be passed with a
minimum of delay was given to
President Harding today by Senator
Lodge OF Massachusetts, the Repub-
lican leader, and Senator Watson,
Republican, Indiana. Mr.. Lodge vas
of the opinion, he said after the con-
ference, that the opposition to the
debt funding measure VIC I'D be un-
important and that it would soon be
out of the way. whereupon every e.
fort would be made to enact the
shipping legislation.

Name; Kirkpatrick To
Be Appointed Shortly

tut that his successor will be for
mer surrogate John kirkpatrick of
South River. 1t is a question, how
ever, when the appointment of
Kirkpatrick will be made by Gov
ernor Silzer.
There seems to exist an uncer-
tainty as to whether or not the con-
frmation by the senate of Judge
Days appointment as circuit judge
automatically terminates his duties
as county court judge. 1t has been
reported that Judge DAILY must re-
sign as county court judge before a
successor can be named. Other re-
ports say that the fact that his ap-
continent as circuit court judge
was confirmed automatically makes
the office of county judge vacant.
Judge DAILY was questioned on the
situation this morning. but refused
tc make any comment.
1t is known that Judge DAILY plans
to sit on Friday of this week for the
purpose of disposing of several coun-
ty court cases with which he is well
acquainted and has not yet definitely
acted upon. He has not resigned as
county court judge.

SENATE PASSES ROAD
BOARD BILL, S|LzER
NOT To HAVE VOTE

sion "
"The majority leader says we
have taken many steps," he con-
tinued. Il suppose he is referring
to the senators frequent marches TO
the House Of Assembly. There Was
quite beaten path and state house
guides in future days will show it
to visitors like they do at Pompeii.
Like Jacob wrest1ed with the An
ge's of old, so did the senators
wrestle with the assemblymen."
Simpson said the bill failed to
say that the two dominant" pa
ties should be represented on the
highway board, and that the word
ing n:gtt permit the appointment
of socialists and prohibitionists. SEN
ator Mackay! of Bergen, replied
that these parties have no Official
standing under the election law Ct
the state.
Senator Parry, Republican. of Es-
sex, said that the new commission
will spend about $19 100000 a year,
he estimated. OF this amount $3,-
100000 will be from the mill tax for
roads; $6,500,000 in motor vehicle
receipts; $1,000,000 from the federal
government for roads and $S,000,000
year from the bond issue until it
Is exhausted. He figured the new
commission would spend in all ap-
proximately $100,000,00O.
The vote on the bill was is to 0,
Simpson and Agans, of Hunterdon
supporting the measure, the former
because he said it was the best bill
that could be obtained. Two Re-
publicans present did not vote, Food
er. of Gloucester, and Bright, of
Cape May. The Gloucester senator
had urged his colleagues to pass the
ripper" it is understood. Two
other Republicans, Richards of At

absent. Senators Barber of Warren,
and Kays, of Sussex, Democrats,
were present but not voting. The

BILL
ISSEI ASIDE
Action Soon Is Expected by
President Harding and His
Advisors

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S:-Agree-
ment was reached today by senate
Republican leaders to lay aside the
administration shipping bill tomor-
row for consideration of the British
debt settlement legislation.
The arrangement was made after
further White House conferences
between President Harding, Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts,, the major
ity floor leader, and Senator Wat
son, Republican, Indiana. 1t was
said to be the hope of the admin
istration forces to PISS the dept bill
tomorrow or by Thursday at the lat
est Meantime the ship bill will be
held in its present advantageous
position as unfinished business"
President Harding was said TO
have reiterated his belief that the
ship bill should not be put aside, aud
the agreement reached today ap-
peared to be in a nature of a COM
promise. 1t contemplates that
when the legislation comes UP again
it will be pressed vigorously the
President having determined, ac-
cording to the Republican leaders,
to wage "a real fight for its pas
sage.
The President was told, however,
at today's conference. that the fate
of the bill was uncertain, the Re-
publican organization being not yet
positive it could muster a majority.
There was a possibility, he was in
formed, that the bill might be
amended in a drastic way before
the vote could be reached.
Mr.. Harding also was said to te
anxious that four unfinished appro-
priation bills be pressed, to insure
against the necessity for an extra
session. A desire to have the farm
credits legislation brought from the
House blockade was also expressed
by the President and the admins
tration senators said they would
urges House leaders to get to work
on the credits measures already
passed by the senate. Despite the
situation facing the ship bill, Sem
ator Lodge insisted as he left the
White House today that there was
"every prospect that the bill would
be passed"

PUBLIC SERVICE
GIVES UP HOPE
IN FARE FIGHT.
George L. Record Makes This
Claim in Hearing Held at
Newark
PRESENT ARGUMENTS
Public Service Now Fighting
to Hold Eight Cent Fare,
Record Says

NEWARK, Feb. 13:-The Public
Service Railway has virtually aban-
doned its claim to ten cent fare and
is now chiefly concerned with con-
tinuing the eight cent fare allowed
temporarily by the federal court,
George L. Record, special counsel for
the municipalities, declared at the
fare hearing before Special Master
Thomas G. Haight today.
Mr.. Record argued that the trolley
company fully realized the futility of
hoping for ten cent fare, due to the
competition of jitney buses. He de-
clared that the seven cent fare fixed
by the Public Utilities Commission
would net greater revenue to the
railway company than a higher rate
and contended that this rate should
be given a fair trial
A conservative valuation of the
company's property is approximately
SCI 100000 and not $3.50, 100000 as
set forth by the companys experts,
Dean Cooley and Professor Ander-
son, in their appraisal. He coutend-
ed that based on the $61, 100000 the
company is now receiving a return
greater than ten per cent.
1.-THE estimates of the company ex-
perts cannot be accepted for various
reasons" he said. First. there is no
instance in the country where a COM
mission of court has ever fixed a
valuation based on the fanciful hy-
pothesis of reproduction cost. This
method assumes conditions of con-
structing the property which have
never existed in our experience. 1t
ignores the conditions under which
the property was actually construct
ed. 1t was never constructed by one
contractor. 1t was steady and
gradual growth"
Mr.. Record declared that it was
impossible to tell what the results
would be to the company TO operate
under a seven cent fare. He point
ed out that the company's figures
show the number of passengers car
ried under the eight cent fare TO be
steadily decreasing while the num-
Der carried by jitneys is increasing.
He argued that if the seven cent fare
were put into effect, the two rates,
trolley and jitney, would be more
nearly the same and would work to
the advantage of the public service.
THE real trouble Mr.. Record
said, '1s that the company took over
its underlying and constituent com
1anies at an excessive valuation. the
rentals, dividends and interest
charges assumed by the company to
be paid to the underlying road were
grossly excessive and they are the
source of the company's difficulties.
The company has tried to pay divi-
dends upon millions of dollars of
watered securities representing no
investment and no service"
