A COMPANY FORMED TO BUILD troll
LEY LINE.

THE HUDSON FROZEN OVERTIME SKATING AND
sLEIGHING-NEws NOTES AND GOSSIP.
Trolley talk appears to be the principal item Of
gossip in Nyack at present. The people who OPP
pose trolley line in the town are so few that
1t is hardly worth while to speak of them. while
on the other hand those in favor OF IT are TOO
numerous to mention From the best sources OF
information the report comes that nothing Will
stand in the way of the proposed trolley system.
Already a company called the Nyack Traction
Company has been incorporated with long list
OF well-known names as corporators Among
them Benjamin 3. Odell. jr. Congressman
elect: Judge Arthur s. Tompkins and Edward At
water. president of the Farmers and Manufao-
turers' Bank of Poughkeepse. A trolley line In
Nyack will give new business impetus TO the
town we'll as affording convenient and cheap
way of travelling about the place.
The Hudson River at Nyack is frozen from
shore to shore If the present snap wave con-
tnues it will soon be possible to cross on the Ice
to Tarrytown. something which has been done
only in the last five winters. The ponds In
Rockland County all covered with foot or
more of ice and this with the snow has made the
last week one OF fine opportunities for winter
sports. On New Years Day the sleighing ana
skating were exceptionally good, and were enjoyed
by thousands of people The moonlight nights
are being taken advantage Of by merry sleighing
parties
The town authorities would be able to raise
enough money for fire alarm signal service IN
the town II they carried out the rules OF the ord-
nance which imposes fine on people who do not
remove the ice and from their sidewalks.
An opportunity is now offered to the authorities
to fill the treasury The conditions Of the side
walks are a disgrace TO the town: Despite IN, me
fact that people may be out of town their side-
walks should be kept clean and the police omeers
should report every property owner or tenant OF 2
house where the sidewalk has not been cleaheo.
In South Nyack there seems TO have been no az.
tempt at all to clean the walks. and as the result
everybody walks in the middle Of the streets pre-
ferring to take the chance of being run over TO
that Of breaking the neck or legs on an ICY sioe-
walk. e,,,. <,,....
