For Ten Cent Fare On
The Pullic Service Lines
[By The Associated Press.]
TRENTON. July 15.—The Board
of Public Utility Commissioners to
day decided the so-called emergency
application of the Public Service
Railway Company for a ten-cont
fare by ordering that the fare re
main seven cents, but that two cents
may be charged for each transfer
beginning August 4.
This is the same rate fixed in the
main revaluation case yesterday.
Today’s decision follows the re
cent opinion of the supreme court
setting aside the former order of
the utility board in the emergency
case denying any increase in fare
and remanding the case back to the
board for further consideration.
[By Evening News Correspondent.]
TRENTON. July 15:—Whether
the long controversy over trolley
fares to be charged by the Public
Service Railway Company in this
state—a controversy which has en
grossed the attention of utility com
missions, old and new, the high
courts, candidates for governor and
legislatures for the past several years
—has now been settled or not was
a question here today. The present
utility commission has given the
trolley cofhpany, which serves many
municipalities in this state, a contin
uance of its present seven cent fare
and has allowed It to increase its
charge for a transfer from one to
two cents. The net increase to the
company is one cent on each trans
fer. It had asked for a fiat fare of
ten cents. If it is satisfied with the
utility board’s decision, tlie controv
ersy is over to all intents and pur
poses. More litigation and more
problems for the state are in pros
pect if the Public Service does not
accept the verdict.
The principles of valuation as de
clared by the New Jersey courts are
referred to in the decision as having
been applied by the Utility Board
in reaching its conclusion. In addi
tion, the numerous decisions of the
United States Supreme Court and
the courts and commissions of
other states are cited and the prin
ciples tjherein set forth are discuss
ed. With respect to the Ford, Ba
con and Davis appraiasal the board
said:
Tlic action of the utility board in
fixing a total valuation of $82,000,000
on the Public Service Railway prop
erty for rate making purposes is of
special interest in aftermath discus
sion of the decision. It will be re
called that the legislature authorized
a special appraisal of the property
to be made and the sum of $100,000
was paid the firm of Ford, Bacon &
j Davis to bring in a valuation, which
it did at $125,000,000.
Decision is Long
In its decision of some seventy
typewritten pages disposing of the
ten cents fare application, the utility
board says that it considered all the
data and facts which have been col
lected from various sources on the
subject of the Public Service valua
tion. The Cooley appraisal, made by
the company itself, the figures of
Ford, Bacon & Davis, testimony of
the board’s own experts and of the
municipalities and also historical
cost of the property as developed by
witnesses for the municipalities.
More Contributions Reported
to Aid Families of Firemen
Killed Here
Today the total of the fund being
raised on the appeal of Mayor
William C. Wilson to aid families
of the nine volunteer firemen who
were killed in the grade crossing
accident here on June 15, amounts
to $17,1 55.40. When the last total
of the fund was published, some days
ago, the amount contributed up to
that time was $15,901.90. The In
crease is due to contributions that
have just been received, which in
clude $1,000 from the city, the
