URGE CAUTION FOR AUTOS
Bprelal Ddpalch to F.vrnlna Public Lcilotr
Trenton, Dec. 29. The annual re
port of the ousted State Itonrd of Pub
lic Utility Commissioners, which lias
Just reached Governor Edwards, re
ferred to the Increases in fares recently
proposed by the Public Hervlce Rail
way Co., and In this connection criti
cized tho act passed by the Legislature
of this year providing for the selection
by the governor, state treasurer and
state comptroller of a firm of engineers
to value the property of street railways.
The report stated that ns the act re
quired the, board to accept the) report
of the engineers oh to the value of the
property in nny rate proceeding, the
board would be powerless to exercise
any Independent judgment as to tbe
value; that "It cannot give considera
tion to the record built up during the
Investigations heretofore mode by it ;
the estimates of value, exhibits and
testimony submitted by experts em
ployed bv the board, the associated
municipalities and the company. The
board must accept the value of the
ttcnfiartr nu nnf fnrtll tn thp pnaiflPPrS
report as Its value to the extent that
the value of said property is n factor
in fixing the rate."
The board recommended thnt the law
be amended s It may exercise the right
to B've consideration tn the report of the
engineers nnd nil other information
properly before It which would be help
ful In arriving at a determination of the
value of the property
Another recommendation was that a
Iritr hn itntintuil rnnnlrtncr flrllMTH nf
automobiles carrying passengers for hire
to bring their vehicles to a full stop nt
railroad grade-grosslngs before crossing
them
The board stated that In rn-opcrntlon
with Motor Vehicle OimnilssinniT Dill,
suggestions were made In 1011) to the
different municipalities thnt ordinances
be adopted requiring such stops nnd
that while some municipalities have
adopted such ordinances the require
ment Is not universal nnd the opinion
wns expressed that it would be advisable
for the Legislature to enact a law com
pelling such stops to be made.
Referring to the reduction in the
heating standard for gas the board
stated that standards lower than that
In effect In New Jersey generally pre
vailed, and tli nt the high cost of oil nnd
the difficulty of obtaining It made ad
vlsublc a reduction in the standard.
