Hut the new companies will not stop
at taking unoccupied streets, It is be
lieved. A defect, so it is said, has been
discovered In the title of the old com
pany to nearly every street on which
It operates. This defect lesult? from
the merger which combined all the old
companies Into the Scranton Railway
company. Under the law a tompany
subjects itself to the revocation of its
grants it It violates the provisions of
Its charter. One ot the provisions of
every stiect railway charter is that It
shall build and operate a continuous
line. The Scranton Hallway company,
as in well known, operates a patch
work system. Tts nucleus is the Peo
ple's Street Hallway company. When
the merger came, some soen years
ago, It absorbed the Seranton Passen
ger Hallway company, the Nay Aug
frnsslown Hallway company mid the
Vnlley Passenger Hallway company.
Tho vailous lines were connected un
and its present system completed by
building a. piece of load here and an
other piece theie under the omnibus
tranchlse of the Valley Passenger tom
pany. Sought to Buy.
The piomotors of the new companies,
it is said, sought to buy out the Scran
ton Hallway company with a vluw ot
consigning It to a scrap heap and sup
planting It with u modern street rail
way system, but this was made im
possible by the Scranton Hallway com
pany. The new companies thereupon
decided to proceed with their enterprise
without regai d tor the old company.
Eventually, It can bo said with some
degree of cei taint, tho new allied
companies will entirely supplant the
Scianton Hallway company
The new companies -will oner no
bonus to the city other than the usual
grants of n tranchlse ordinance. The
live per cent, tax on the gross lecelpts,
it is felt, Is sufficient to pay lor thu
pilvilege of giving the e!t. a M.ihmiouO
street railway system.
