TROLLEY SETBACK IN TARRYTOWN.
NO ONE APPEARS BEFORE THE TRUSTEES


TO FAVOR THE EXTENSION.
IT Is practically determined that the trolley will
not be permitted To usurp all Of Tarrytowns streets

that the present route was the best for the village
and It would be bad policy 10 permit tho road to

the streets. he said. the the water mains
would be affected.
Captain Samuel Requa struck the keynote Of tho
meeting when he told the trustees that ap-
peared to favor the extension. He bitterly
opposed 10 allowing the trolley 10 run in North
Westinghouse. and his sentiments approved
by other residents Of that street
Dr. Townsend V. Roe declared that the company
promised everything but gave nothing. He con-
demned the trolley people for not providing cars
with tenders. with which. he said the fatal scc-
dent at Elmsford would not have occurred. The
conpanys action he considered criminally negl-
gent. Its cars were old and worn out. and not
ht for public use and as they sa we're not supplied
any rode IN them. He concluded by saying that
the company should be required live up it's old
contract before new franchise was granted.
Daniel Fades 4 trustee Of the Zion Methodist

turb the church services.
