They Say They Did Not Sign a
Trolley Road Petition.
Lively Times Expected at the Ho-
boken Aldcrmen's Meeting.

There promises to be a decidedly lively
time at the meeting OF the lloboken
Board OF Aldermen this evening. The
Jersey City. Hoboken Inc Rutherford
Electric Railway will present n petition
for the privilege of conducting Its
trolley lines through several streets.
There is no objection raised to this save
in one instance.
Among the streets for which the
franchise is asked Is First street, the
narrowest and busiest ~thoroughfare In
Hoboken. The Company has a document
purporting to bear the signatures of
more than two-thirds of the property
owners on that street praying that the
franchise be granted
When this fact became noised about a
canvass was made by some interested
party. and as a result 1t is stated that
the signatures are not those of property
owners. but of people who rent houses
on that street.
A council of war was held, and the
property owners. accompanied by coun-
sci. will appear before the Board tonight
and oppose the granting of the franchise.
They say First street Is entirely too
narrow for trolley road purposes. and
that IL the road Is run through 1t will
depreclate property value and kill bust
ness.
The outcome OF the meeting tonight
is awaited with great interest. 1t is
limited that some of the signatures were
obtained by means of false representa-
tons,

people were to take back the Thomson

Vice-President Griffin was interviewed

There Is not a word of truth in 1t.
The Thomson-Houston Company is a
