Corporation Counsel Roger M. Shor- man, of Mount Vernon, served notice on Mr. Mellen two weeks ago that the Common Council had enacted an ordi- nance making {t an offense to burn soft coal within the limits of Mount Vernon, but the head of the New Haven road did not deign to acknowledge js receipt. According to a despatch from New Haven, Mellen clatma that he never got the communication, Therefore another notice was sent to him to-day, giving the railroad forty-eight hours’ ce to obey the peremptory demand of the Common Council of Mount Vernop or abide by the consequences, No Right to Burn Soft Coal, It {s understood that under the State laws the New York, New Haven and llartford Rallroad Company has no right to burn soft coal, but Westchester County communities ability nforce thelr statutes, and that alo! ances of conduct are considered nec v. Of course, Uie Mount Vernon declara- tlon of open war with the company is intended to be carried on in the line of reprisals for the abominable train ser- vice to which its people are being com- pelled to submit. They feel that they might as well “close up shop” as to permit the conditions now obtaining to continue, But Mount Vernon {s not the only community on the line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford that has something to say about the use of soft coal, At a meeting of the Board of Trade of New Rochelle on Thursday night last a resolution was passed in- structing the Common Council of that elty to enact an ordinance prohibiting the use of soft coal by the railroad company or any other crporation within ite limits, New Hochelle Will Fight, Too, In thelr fight against the company the New Rochelle residents propose to > further and declare what will un- doubtedly be an effective boycott upon the rallroad’s freight business. An or- @anization of commuters {s in process of formation with the purpose of de- manding of all local business men and tradesmen that they find some other means of transporting thelr goods than over the lines of the New Haven road. The commuters believe they can in- duce the Metropolitan Express Com- pany and the Union Rallway Com: pany to establish an extra service of trolley freighters that will meet all transportation needs, .The declaration, however, of Mount Vernon to-day being the first gun of the battle is consequently attracting more attention than the plans which are maturing. It Means Quick Action, It is known that the New Haven road hus on Its hands a supply of soft coe) {hat it cannot abandon without a great logs and that {t will try to defy Mount Vernon, It m even go so far aa to attempt to c: he town out of a train service altogether, and, if {t does, It is gald & way will be found of bringing | por trains to a halt Chief of Police Foley, of Mount Ver- non, is under Instructions to proceed to make arrests, beginning to-morrow afternoon, in all cases of engine driv- ers burning soft coal. If it should come to a question of the railroad company resisting forcibly an arrest the police will be able to muster a committee of citizens that will keep any force of the railroad company busy. pany for Arrearage, Vows He Will Not Pay It Under Any Circumstances. ——) ‘The sort of thing which a man of moderate means Is obliged to endure from the Gas Trust in this city Is well Mlustrated by an action which has just been brought in the Sixth Municipal Court by the New Amsterdam Gas Com. pany against one Arthur Jenkins, of No. M3 West Thirtieth street, Mr. Jenkins paid his gaa bills for more than a year, but when by & gradual but steady prootses they crawled up to @ point where they were actually more than hie rent he balked and refused to pay. His gas supply was shut off, of course, and now the Company ie suing him for an arrearage of which he vows he will not pay under any cir- cumatances, Jenkins has four small rooms on the ground floor of the apartment-house at the above number. His family consists of his wife and himself, By his past experience, and a comparison of his gas bills for years In other places he has Hved, he estimates that at the outside his gas bill should be about § a month. He has not insisted it should be this figure, being willing, like most New Yorkers, to stand a little extortion, But when his bills crawled up from 4.70 to $15.99 In a flat for which he was paying &@ monthly rental of only $16 he decided .|that the situation was unendurable and submitted to having his supply of gaa cut off, Mr. Jenkins has supplied the following | | table to The E ing World, which shows the variations of his bills: 1903, Jan, 8 to Jan. 15. Jan. 15 to Feb. 10, Feb. 19 to March It March 18 to April 194. Dec, 2 to Jan. 2. Jan. @ to Feb, 2. Feb. 22 to March March 2 to April 14 At the rate the ce charging him for the past year, Mr Jenkins says, it 1s impossible for him to properly care for his family and at the same time pay bills. “While I was angry at the sult at}; first,” sald Mr Jenkins, “I am now «lad that It bas been brought. Pub- lietty will result in something, I hope. It may not do me any good, but it certainly will show up these gas rob- Rea T am not go- bers In thelr true light, ing to hire a lawyer to fight this case, 1 am going right into court and fight it myself. I haven't money to pay a lawyer, anyway, but I think I can con- vince the Court that I am the victim of robbers—only robbere—and nothing else.” ——=>__ SHIPPING NEWS.
