Traction Company Issues It's
Schedule Of Rates for
Special Cars.

The Consolidated Traction Company, or
to be correct the North Jersey Street
Railroad Company, has issued its rates for
special cars, and as the season is fast APP
preaching when a trolley party is one of
the most delightful ways of spending All
evening, a study of the rates will be Of
much general interest.
Since the advent Of the trolley these par
ties ave been extremely popular and
for many reasons. There is the long,
healthy, bracing, open air ride through
the country, the party secluded on a car
by themselves and at a cost considerably
less than what a stage could be hired
for, to say nothing about the pleasure OF
smooth rapi travel in a brilliantly light
ed car. These advantages have combined
to make a trolley party extremely de-
lightful, and will make them even more
popular since the company is rapidly ex-
tending its system. 1t won't be long be-
fore one can ride from the Jersey City
ferry to Philadelphia. have dinner and
skip back through the beautiful country
: side of New Jersey.

could nave supper and start back on their
return trip at eleven p. NJ, and all for
$14. If the party required a car TO coli
tain, say 30 to 70 people, the rate for that
