Ruling Given - an Right of Company t* Apply tc Chanoary far Relief— Point* Raised by Company - Cases Used as Test Trenton.—Denial by Vie* Chancellor Griffin of the right of tbe I’lflilic Service Railway Company »o obtain an Injunr’.loii to prevent operation of jltseyg on the public highways wa* upheld by the Court of Errors a'.«l >ppealr While the vote was a tie. 7 to 7, It Is accented a* an affirmation of the finding at the lower court. The practical effect of the decision Is to penult Jitneys to csitluue to operate on the street! and highway* The main Issue, whether they have the light to operate, has really not tx-en decided, it U held, because It was sidetracked by the consideration of tb< question a* ’j whether the Public Service had the right to object in Chancery Court. A tie vote means affirms! ce and it waa the second time during the present terms of the court that s dtdslon had resulted In affirmation by a 7 to 7 vote. Such a tondlUon has eilsted very seldom tn the past, however. Under such conditions, therefore, no opinion could be rendered to represent the views of the court as a whole. In thla case, however, one iias t»eeu handed down by Justice Mlnturu represer* the views of that half of the court which believes the decision of the Chancery Court should

versed.

Justice ML.tum's opinion rurred In by Chief Justice Gummere, Justices Bergen and Katsenbach, and Judge* Williams. Gardner and Heppen belmer. The other group coinprlses justices Black. Ksllsch, Parker. Swayre and Trenrliard and Judges White and Van Busklrk. Judge Ackerson was absent and Chancellor Walk er was prev »nted from voting becaut* tbe case w*« an appeal from a Chancery decision. Cases Used As Test The original poceedlng by the Public Service wss Instituted ttgalnsi thirty-six Jltnny op -rstors. Ti ree test rases were chosen, however, l * settle Uie legal questions Involved. The defendants were William D Reinhardt, operating two buses In Newark; dore Harnett, operator of a bus In Elisabeth and Newark, and William J. Ranker Jr.. Jitney owner In New 'Jrunswlek and South Amboy. Vice Chancellor Griffln bused his d< Islon solely upon ".be gruui d that (he Public Service had do standing in a court of equity to ask for Injunctive relief. Tbe opinion by Justira Mlnturn dealt ao!r!y wl.n this phase 4>f the case, bis conclusion being that the railway company as a legally authorized coocem, doing business der a legislative grant, was entitled to be heard, us any other suitor. In an .equity court. Points Raised uy Company The essential points relied upon by counsel for the railway company In support of the application for an InJunction against the Jitney owners were that none of the defendants had applied for and obtained consent for the use of the streets and highway* on which they operated, as required by the limited franchise ait of ISJOU: that .none of the defendants filed with the chief fiscal nfib-cr of the city In which they operate a policy .if Insurance. n* required by the Kate.. Jitney net of 1016; that Barnett, though filing a policy of Insurance in Newark, filed only a copy of the policy in El!zitlietti; fliu! it nker filed a policy In New Brunswick, but none in South Amboy; that the Public Service Radwiy in the eohiyuicrt f a legal franchise is etsM’le to an injunction against the alleged illegal competition • ■n the part of Jitney*, and th*t the Public Service 1* entitled to prntee-

What a comfort to know that \ --ur executor and trustee will be faithful to his trust — that during all the years siuce the very first Trust Company first undertook the stewardship of property net one dollar has ever been lost to an estate. What a record of achievement for the coiporaie executor! Court record* do not paint so fair, so illuminating a p-. t for the individual executor—you know this just as well <o you know the short-comiugs of human character. The Trust Company acting as executor and trustee' lias all the advantages of one-man management without its human frailities. More! —because it handles hundreds of estates to the individual’s one, it cau operate more affectively, often at less cost May we serve your heirs, and theirs to be, with the piled-up experience gleaned from 48 years’ work in this field?
