object TO THE TROLLEY
Hoboken Citizens Don't Want
1t on the Paterson
Plank Road.

There has been much opposition ex
pressed among those who patronize the
portion of the Paterson Plank Road
passing through Hoboken for driving
purposes. respecting the proposal of the
Hoboken and Rutherford Railroad Com
pany OF laying their tracks for an cleo
trio road along the thoroughtare. The
road is employed almost to the exclusion
of any other road by those who
drive from Hoboksn to Paterson. The
corporation announced its intention or
occupying the road, and when they ex-
pressed their determined mighty howl
OF indignation and fear went up. It was
preconceived by those VINO use the road,
That II the company was granted per~
mission, the passage would be Ut
terly unsafe. The road in some
portions is but twenty-three feet in
width, and on one side extends a high
bluff and ON the other is q deep chasm.
A stone wall runs along the side. Should
the corporation lay tracks, the whols
portion of the road would be in use for
their purposes.
HEXAMER's OBJECTION.
Philip Hexamer was among those who
raised an objection. He was determiued
to prevent, if possible. the event of the
company's grabbing up the road. He
did not allow the matter to stop at mere
verbal protest, but retained Counsellor
John G. Besson TO make the fight for
him In court.
Counselor Besson communicated with
Attorney General Stockton regarding
the case, and fled his objections against
the road. Attorney Stockton applied to
the Chancellor at Trenton for an injunc-
ton restraining the company from Iay~
ing the tracks, setting forth the conten-
tion of Mr.. HexaIner. The case rests
there at present
REASONS FOR OBJECTING.
MIR. Hexamer is backed in the move
menE by many prominent men in Ho-
n0keD, among them Police Commissioner
Utz. Mr.. UtZ has filed an affidavit set
ting forth his objections. This morning
Mr. Hexamer was seen ny JERSEY CITY
