WANT new TROLLEY LINES
Greenville Property Owners
Working Hard for Better
Service in West Bergen.

Greenville residents these days talk of
nothing else but trolley lines, which they
want built in different sections of Celery
Vile. Scarcely a day passes but what
some property owner turns up with a new
ers to push.
Now that the proposed opening of Jack
son avenue has fallen through, many diff
ferent routes are mentioned for a trolley
line for the west side section. The Jack
son avenue project was dropped simply
because the cost Of opening and improv-
ing that t~horoughfare would be too steep
for the residents on that line.
The above mentioned project was agi-
tated for nearly two years, and nothing
ever came Of 1t. Now those who are in
terested in the new plans are determined
that their efforts shall be successful. The
plan now which seems to meet with the
approval with the majority OF Greenville-
ties, is as foilows:-
That the trolley line be built along
Jackson avenue to Stevens avenue, in
the Greenville section, along Stevens ave-
nue. to a point about 1000 feet west of the
Boulevard, thence to Seaview avenue,
running parallel with the Boulevard, and
up Seaview avenue to Ocean avenue, thus
forming a belt line.
Edmund Birch, a prominent property
owner of Greenviile. has a map of the old
Greenville Township, Issued in 1879. This
map shows that about 1000 feet of the
Boulevard, and running from the Newark
branch of the Central Railroad to the
canal, near Bayonre, is a street called
Seymour street. This has never been cut
through, and 1t is doubtful if there are
any more han a half a dozen houses on
the line which would have to go if the
street was cut through. This street, the
property owners say, could be opened and
used by the Traction Company.
Still another plan is to nave the West
Side avenue trolley run up one of the side
streets. leading from West Bergen to
Seymour street, and thence following the
above mentioned line. Either of these
plans would cost less than half what
the opening of the G%reenville end of Jack
son avenue would cost, and would be a
greater benefit to the west side residents.
The people interested in the proposed
trolley line are very much in earnest,
and are determined to have a new trolley
road if such a thing is possible. A COM
pay a visit to the officers of the Traction
Company, and will lay before the officials
their plans for a new road. All are con-
fident that their efforts will meet with
success.

SEASIDE FOR WORKING GIRLS.


In further demonstration of the fact
that they are progressive to ar unusual
degree, the Siegel Cooper Employees As
ISOLATION have rented a number of cot
tages at bong. Branch, which means that
each of its female members is to have one
long healthy week by the sea, without ex-
pense. The summer homes rave been de-
lightfully furnished. and walters and a
caterer from the restaurant in town have
been sent down. Mr.. Sfegel, the presi-
dent. and Mr.. Greenhut, the secretary,
of the firm, have each presented fifteen
bicycles for the use of the girls, and
games, hammocks,, bathing. boating, books
and everything suited to light moods and
summer air is to be found there in abund-
anee.
Everything seemed to conspire to make
Saturday, the opening day of the Siegel
Cooper Employees Summer Home, as
delightful as possible. The weather could
not have been better, and the programme
went off without a hitch. Fifty-ive girls,
as happy as children just from school,
started to Long Branch for a week of
pleasure. exempt from expense, or worry,
or work of any kind, at liberty to rest.
OF TOHD O- eau Vi StaoSs u w NAo
ever their fancy dictated. Thu steamboat
.Little Silver" was chartered to take the
party to Long Branch. and the girls were
escorted by the following various man
ayers of the house,
Mr.. Lawson, president of the associa-
ton. and wife; Mr.. NJ. L. Kesner, vice
president; Mr.. w. q. Johnson, treasurer,
and wife; Mr.. Jos. Hagan and wife: Mr..
Caldwell, Mr.. Sinks, Mr.. Lauman, Mr..
starr. Mrs. Waterman. Mr.. n Mrs.
Gruen, Mr.. and Mrs. Haynes, DR.. and
Mrs. Eichberg and Mr.. and Mrs. Come.
After their arrival at the cottages,
which were all ready to receive them,
supper was served. and then the girls
began to get acquainted with their pleas
ant home. 1t is situated in a fashionable
part5o Long Branch, in direct connection
with the trolley line, and Is delightfully."-
shaded by big trees. Sunday there was a
lawn festival. a drive around Long
Branch. and the raising of the flag over
the cottages. The small escorting party,
before returning to town on the four
O'Clock boat, took a peep at the girls. ana
left them in a very Joyous frame OF mind.
Next week another batch will start down,
and this will be continued until all the fe-
male employees have enjoyed a pleasant
week by the sea.

I D JUNE "a. 1898.
This paper is Democrats in principles
and is Independent IN its visacs on all local
questions.
Mr.. nsar,s had Break.

The CONSERVATION which the Board OF
Trade ate Account report created an
the Evening Journal office may best De
gagged from the attempt made in yester-
DAVIS issue to show that MI. Bears sig
nature was AFFIXED to it only in a Pick
wickian sense. 1t was a queer screed,
and the confusion of ideas which it ex-
hibited must have represented the con-
fusion of the editorial mind when the
malevolent sheet was proven liar, falsi-
fer, credit-smasher and conspirator on
the testimony of it's W Business Man
ager.
Thus we are told that Mr.. Dear did
not sign the report against his convic-
tions, but he was conscious that 1T did
not truthfully represent the situation;
therefore his position was somewhat diff
ferent'' from that of "a man who ac-
cuses himself of signing a f~alsehood.'
Further, the report was not a balance
sheet. but only a statement of the City's
profit and loss account (it certainly was
nothing of the sort): Mr.. Dear signed
it because it was due to the honor and
credit of the City, though he knew h a
it did not show the liabilities of the De-
partment.
Now this unmeaning jargon conveys
only one impression to the impartial
mind. Mr.. Dear has been caught certi-
flying, over his signature. that the Jour
nal" is a malicious liar. and there is the
deuce to pay over his rash act.

GERMAN HOSPITAL PLAN.
Prospects for the Success of the I'm
dertaking Are Most Encouraging.

From the present outlook the prospects
for the erection of a German Hospital in
Hudson county are very bright and if the
D~ispensary Fund Association keeps on in
creasing as it has during the past two
months, the work of building this much
talked of charitable institution will be
started within a year.
The members are confident that their
efforts will meet with success and at the
meeting of the Ladies' Section. held last
evening in Belvedere Hall. the reports
showed there were now over three hun
bred members in the ladies' society, a re-
markable increase over that of last
month. Each member on joining pays
a fee of fifty cents. This amount is the
annual dues of each membe and is turned
over to the association treasurer. Includ-
ing the mother organization there are
fully five hundred members in the asso-
citation.

The Rejected i d

The rejection of the water bids yester-
day was a disastrous act of folly. We
are strongly inclined to agree with the
sEvening Journal that it places the city
at the mercy of the East Jersey monop-
oily.
In the next competition, according to
current rumor. the East Jersey Company
will find itself opposed by none of the
bidders who figured in the present COM
petition. One of these. it is rumored. will
not be in financial shape to bid again.
A second is said to be tired of what the
hackers call the city's bad faith. Still
another bid, if 1t is in, offers no serious
difficulty to East Jersey, its figures are
so high. Still another is regarded as be-
ing unimportant because of features in
its general scheme which the municipal
authorities regard as impossible. In a
word, East Jersey has pretty well tired
out all competition, and. henceforward. 1t
has the field to itself.
We blame all the city officials involved
for the worse than lame and impotent
conclusion which has been reached. They
had before them the most abundant ma
terial from which to make an award. Ii
they felt brave enough for something
large and statesmanlike. they had the
Sheehan and the larger Flynn bid. II
-. 1+ 49, ,aaa IF n3nabinc thew had
the lesser Flynn bid. All of these pro-
1ects were sound in their legal and their
engineering features. All had u~nbounded
financial backing. Whatsoever might
have got the award, the contract would
have been certain of execution; the city
would have been assured of the value of
its money. Nobody has seriously ques-
toned these assertions.
But it we blame all the members of the
city government for o selecting from
among these bids, we blame still more
those who chiefly forced the rejection of
all by their narrow and shallow position.
The advocacy of the Rockaway and Hud-
son scheme can only be regarded as q
device to render an award impossible, be-
cause every one who understands The sit
pany would be practically a rejection Of
all the bids. 1t is seriously doubted
whether the company would ever sign a
contract; it is certain that the company
