The people Of Queens aud Nassau counties
have bonded them selves TO q very large sxts4s
unegualled in this State, They are Justly proud
OF this fact and have endssSorsd through the

them. The intent OF this bill was probably To
allow the laying Of a trolley line or lines

must be- remembered. however. that the
m~acadamized streets through which these rail:
roads wish to pass were built by the tQwns. ana
town and county bonds were issued for that
purpose. The entire people OF the towns we're

citizens OF the towns In Queens and Nassau
