NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The Brunswick Traction Company, composing the
promoters of the trolley system which VIII grid
iron Mddlesex County, is using energetic efforts to
circumvent all legal obstacles and delays with
which it's work in the county is threatened. The
manner in which the officers of the company an
tcipated the opposition OF farmer in the borough
Of Midtown has already been told in The Tribune.
On Saturday the committee of North Brunswick
Township held meeting and passed TO its third
reading an ordinance granting the company fran
chise TO run from Midtown 10 100 feet from the
Raritan River railroad crossing In this city. Mrs.
Gordon. the mother of the Midtown farmer who
objected to the trolley passing his place. lives on
the road in which the trolley Will run in North
Brunswick. The traction company had reason to
expect opposition from her Within twenty minutes
OF the passing of the ordinance employees of the
company were at work digging and beginning to lay
the rails and put up the poles No legal step to
prevent the work could be taken on Saturday after
noon or Sunday. and these two days the COM
pany intended TO build the road at least past Mrs
Gordon's property. The company will extend its
lines throughout the Whole county fran
chises have been secured from the various town
ships and boroughs. In New Brunswick the work
cannot begin until the decision OF the Supreme
Court Is given the certiorari recently secured by
William Van NorthWick.
