Is TO oe served en- the representative officer
Of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad com
pany demanding a cessation of the work Of
putting up the iron poles in the centre Of
Atlantic avenue for the new electric road.
By a resolution of council passed about two
months ago was made compulsory on the

lighting of Atlantic avenue in return for the
privilege IT had secured.
Although the work Of putting up the poles
has been going on at lively rate, four
squares at the upper end Of the street being
covered, the city authorities have received
no notification from the railroad officials that
they mean to comply with the spirit Of the
resolution. Therefore this action is taken to
make them do it. The injunction was issued
from the supreme court at Trenton, and will
be argued before that court on Monday,
April 5. II the worlSmen continue putting up
the poles after the injunction is served, war
rants will be issued for their arrest City
