The residents in this section are COM
planning because the Newark II New
York Railroad has not stationed a night
agent at the West Bergen Station. Pas
sengers waiting for trains are compelled
to wait outside. On a. cold or rainy night
it is very disagrpeable to wait outside, as
the small shed outside affords no protec-
ton from rain whatever. The residents
say that the company could at least open
the waiting room.
