THE FIRST DEPOSIT MADE
The company has seventeen prospective
| lines Newark and eight in Ellza-
beth. The principal office will be
which the company shall commence
| business is $4,000, of which $4,000 has
| actually been deposited with State Treas
urer Gray as required by law. The three
| incorporater6 have each taken 100 shares
| of the stock.
The Incorporation is under an act
passed last week and approved by the
| Governor last Tuesday, entitled, ''An act
| TO authorize the formation of TRACTION
( companies for the construction and
operation of street railways or
! railroads operated or street railways and
| to regulate the same" The law was in-
| tended to regulate improved methods of
street transit by electricity, cables and
| chemical motors. II prohibits the use of
steam.
WILL PROCEED AT ONCE.
The new company will proceed at once
| with the construction of the new lines it
has planned for Jersey City and Newark,
and which will be financially independ-
| ent of the existing lines in both cities.
| 1t is proposed to make q change in the
motive power of the Jersey City lines and
also to furnish a sufficient number
| of cars to accommodate the peo-
pie. The trolley will be substi-
| tuted for horses. and as the new cor
poration is fully equipped for making the
| change speedily, better means of transit
| for all parts of jersey City will undouot-
edly be furnished before another year
| passes.
A man who is largely interested in the
new corporation said the people of Jer-
sey City could depend on 1t that they
would be given every possible facility e e
sravsi quickly sa aaa and 1ss ehssD ol
ments we contemplate Will necessitate
provements we contemplate will necessl-
tate applications to the Street and Water
| Board, and their approval will be
required to place US In position
TO go ahead. But do not appre-
| hend any trouble on that score, because
| fancy Jersey City wants rapid transit
quite as much as we want to give it. We
will proceed at once to build line over
the Newark plank road which
will connect Newark and Jersey
City. This road will be model.
| It will be ballasted like a steam railroad,
and will have Pennsylvania rails. The
| cars will be twentr-two feet long and
| built to run fast and smoothly.
"These new projects will have nothing
| to do with the ola companies. except that
| they will help to increase their facilities. -
