THE WEST Side TROLLEY
GreenviIle Citizens to Petition
for Rapid Transit Along a
New Route.

A committee of Greenville property
owners are preparing a petition which
will shortly be presented to the Street
and Water Board, asking for the opening
of a certain street called on the map
Seymour street. The nap On which the
street is indicated is an issue of 1878,
and is in the possession Of Edmund Birch,
a prominent property owner of Green
vile. The street lies about 1000 feet
west OF the Boulevard and runs from the
Newark branch of the Central Railroad
to the Canal. just this side of Bayonne.
In all there are about a half a dozen
houses on the line of the street.
This will be the first move toward a
new trolley line on the west sid of which
a majority of the residents rave been in
favor for a long time. Many projects
have been launched but have fallen
through. For almost two years a COM
mittee of Greenvilleites worked for the
opening of the Greenville end of Jackson
avenue in order to nave a road built on
that th~oroughfare. The Street and Water
Board had been petitioned and signified
It's approval of the proposal. The Engi-
neering Department surveyed the pro-
posed course and the Assessment Com
missioner went over the line and figured
the cost of opening Jackson avenue at
about $1,000 0
The property owners were willing to
have the street cut through, but the mat
ter hung fire for months and was finally
dropped because the Traction Company
did not care to bear part of the expense.
The plans for a trolley that are now
under consideration are more likely to
meet with the approval of the company's
officials. The following is the route that
has been mapped out:-Jaekson avenue
from Communipaw to Stevens venue
to and across the Boulevard to Seymour
street (Which is as yet unopened), along
Seymour street to Seaview avenue. to
Ocean avenue, going across the Boule-
ward and Old Bergen Road This route
will cost but little in comparison to the
expense of opening Jackson avenue. and
is likely to go through. The only cost
to the property owners would be the
opening of Seymour street and the Trac-
ton Company will in all probability bear
part of it.
When the Street and Water Commits
sioners la been consulted the commit
tee will wait on the Traction Company
to explain its plans. Scarcely a resident,
or, to be palmer, a property owner, can
be found that is not willing to bear some
expense in order to ave the new road.
