A startling rumor is afioat in the air.
1t is to the effect that the New Jersey and
New York Railroad Company is going to
build a new depot at Carlstadti Can this
be true? II so, what are they going to
do with the charred remains at Essex
street? That's what Hackensack is in
terested in.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company

week sodding around the depot at
Manasquan. 1t is a wonderful improve
ment, aud will be highly appreciated by
people this summer By the way, we

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has at last submitted to the Common
COuuCll llS DlduS IOE LlG EleVdulOn Oh us
tracks through New Brunswick. The
company wishes the city to pay all the
preliminary expenses for surveys, chang
ing of street grades, etc, and also to pay
all claims for damages to property be-
cause of the change of grade. The plans,
too, nave been made with the expectation
that the Council will change the grade of
Somerset street, near st. Peters Church
and the college, regrade George street,
the main street of the city, change the
line of Washington street, yacate a part
of Albany street, near the New Bruins
wick Clubs house, and change the grade
of New, French and Bayard streets and
Easton avenue, besides abandoning part
of Church street. The Council will not
consent to these changes, which would
be extremely costly, and will demand
that the track be depressed.
The New York and Long Branch Rail-
road Company began Wednesday to lay
two more tracks along the line of the
road between Long Branch and Perth
sArnboy. The work will be completed be-
fore the summer travel begins, making
this a four-track railway. The addition
al tracks are necessary owing to the con
slant increase of traffic. From the end
the New York and Long Branch Railroad
at Perth Amboy. the Central Railroad
Company will lay two more tracks on its
line.
