Trolley rate fight heats New Jersey court session
In Trenton the Court of Errors and Appeals hears appeals from Charles F. X. O’Brien of Jersey City regarding the Public Service Railway Company rate boost. Arguments focus on whether the Public Utility Commission may abrogate municipal franchise contracts or only enforce them under the 1911 act, with broader implications for local authorities and franchise taxation. O’Brien and colleagues press for restraint while the Public Service defense asserts broader legislative power.

Free Libraries in Italy Promote Public Access to Books
The federation for the promotion of free libraries in Italy reports over 2,000 libraries since its 1908 Rome convention. It mirrors Milan’s model, aims to run circulating libraries at cost, offers manuals, a federal periodical, and a supplies service. It also assists with library management and plans direct book production. Soldiers’ libraries in war zones were built with state collaboration and proved more effective than previous individual book shipments.
