The Great Need for a Car
Line to the West Of
the Hill.

.HH -
If Mr.. Charles b. Thurston is elected
President OF the new company, (and it is
hoped he will bel. which in future is to
maintain and operate the systems of
horse car service throughout the city. he
will find hat many petitions from old
petitioners" VIII bob up serenely for
consideration. Petitions for improve
ments in the street railway sys-
TENS, be it said with sorrow,
and particularly those for extensions
Of lines nave in the past met with the sad
fate of being buried alive In a grave
yard" having a tenantfy equal. il not ex-
ceeding, that of President Adrain OF the
Senate. That such dispositions OF Pc
titions were made by the Jersey City and
Bergen Railroad does not in any way re-
fleet upon Mr.. Thurston. That petitions
were ignored, was in every instance, 1t Is
understood. entirely due to the policy
laid down by the directors OF the COM
pam
The first of the petitions will come
from the people OF the Marion section and
others on the west slope of the bill. They
want car connection with the city. West
Newark avenue is the objective point.
and it will not be the fault of the prop
erty ow nePs, If. before summer fairly
begins, preparations are not being made
by the company to lay trac ks.
To reach Marion at present it is neces-
sary to take a train from the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad depot, unless a person
feels inclined to walk a mile from the
Five Corners. At this point the cars stop,
aud for years petitions have been made
for the extension of a line which
will more directly connect the western
slope of the hill with the CITY.
Owing to the fact that the section was
sparsely populated, the dire OK the
railroad company declined to entertain
petitions, explaining that the revenue to
be derived therefrom did not warrant the
outlay. Now. however, the section has
built up, and the residents demand recOg-
milton from the city officials and the
Jersey City & Bergen Railroad. The
connection of Marion with the city by
means of a surface road will enhance
valuations in that section and encourage
building.
