SOME WANT THE TROLLEY.
Argument Before Hoboken Councit
as to the Granting of 8 Franchise.

uohoken,s citizens appeared before the
! Common Council of tbs city last night
IN rive views about granting a fran
chise to the Jersey City. Hoboken and
| Rutherford Electric Railway Company,
which. CORPORATION proposes to operate a
trolley line through First street.
Ex-Judge Hoffman opposed the trolley
system. He said it was a detriment TO
| life to establish a trolley road through
any crowded th~oreughfare like First
street. He said a majority were opposed
to a line on First street.
Ex-Judge Smith said that a majority
of the property owners along First street
had signed a petition favoring a trolley
road through that th~oroughfare. He
claimed thai they could not Withdraw
their names from the petition and lnsln-
uated that some were paid to do SO by
the North Hudson County Railroad Com
pany. Judge Smith claimed that moth
ing built up a city so rapidly as the
trolley system. He lid that First
street was wider than Chestnut street,
Philadelphia. and that if any effort was
made to remove the trolley road from
that ~thoroughfare the business men
would rise up in arms.
Director He1ler's attack On the Ruth
erford Company, Mr.. smith Sald, was
unauthorized and unwarranted.
Ex-Judge A. @. Garretson, of Jersey
City. who said he acted as counsel for
the New Jersey Junction Railroad Com
pany. said his company owned a major
ity of the frontage along the Paterson
Plank Road in Hoboken, and had 10
a trolley line along the road He
claimed the Board of Council had no
right to grant a trolley franchise which
would enable the Rutherford Company
to run across the New Jersey Junction
Railroad tracks. He filed a remons-
trance.

pany wanted to enter Hoboken it could
do so by using the tracks of the North
Hudson County Railroad.
