take an unprecedented boom. The pro-
posed route from West Bergen is direct
from the West Side station to Bergen
avenue and through Bergen avenue to
Greenville.
The rapid transit that was promised by
the Jersey City and Bergen Railroad

expected that electric, storage cars would
he running long before this.
The Woodlawn School,. which has been

A party OF Central Railroad officials
| visited this section this morning, but did
not vouchsafe any information as to
their intentions regarding improvements
in this section. They inspected the
tracks from jackson to West Side ave-
nue., which have recently been
repaired, but contrary to expecta-
to the West Side avenue bridge. The
idea grows daily that the company has
no intention of raising the bridge for a
few years at least. Hardly a day passes
but the drivers of trucks heap maledic-
tions on the bridge because they cannot
| pass beneath it.
The scheme to organize a bicycle club
