The City Council of Elizabeth Nj,
has declined to even consider appJi-
cations for trolley franchises there
until the applicants are prepared to
state concisely what they are prepared
to give the city in return for the
privilege of using the streets for their
own purposes. Taxpayers of Eliza
beth insist that no more franchises
shall be given away free.
Several applications for trolley
franchises will be filed here in the
near future, and Councils action in
the premises will be decidedly inter
esting. Atlantic City Review

The rumor is current in Newark
that members of the trolley syndicate
had signed an agreement to pay 38
for North Jersey and % for "White
Line" stock, and that short extern
sion of time had been granted by
Newark holders of large blocks of
North Jersey to see if the other mem
bers of the syndicate would sign.
The Newark interests and the pool of
$1,000 shares of North Jersey formed
about two years ago are holding out
for 40 for the stock of that company,
although the Jersey City holders
have agreed to sell at SO. That is said
to be the cause of the delay in the
deal. The sum required for the pur-
chase of the North Jersey and the
"White Line at SO and % 1espec-
lively is $l5, 900, 600, and it is believed
by the stockholders in Newark and
Jersey City that if the deal can be
consnmmated that amount in cash
will be given.

Editor Morris County Chronicle:

Editor MOTIFS County Chronicle:
AS an advocate of the trolley, I
would like to put in my oar and give
one stroke to advance Morristown.
There are always some people who
are ready to throw cold water on
every means suggested for the ad-
vancement of modern enterprise. That
the trolley is bound to come, sooner
or later is only question OF, time
Wherever it has gone, the advance
ment in real estate is marked one.
We have a beautiful stretch of coun-
try surrounding Morristown in every
direction which would be opened up
by the trolley" Of course no one
expects to have all of our beautiful
drives DESTROYED and ruined. We all
recognize that large number of peo-
pie are attracted to our beautiful city
by our fine roads and building sites.
No one has any idea of destroying
of our streets that are not used for
pleasure driving and where the troll
ley would not be opposed, take, for
instance, the streets the latest "trol-
lev" company wants to occupy. Per-
sonally believe every one living
along the proposed line would well
come it, A large number of people
would find it very convenient mode
of transportation daily, and on a
rainy day large numbers would prefer
to pay cents rather than walk
through Sthe rain. Then again on
pleasant day, how many of our
townspeople would enjoy a ride out
through the beautiful country to Es-
sex Fells or Caldwell. Horse hire is
luxury nowadays and people in
moderate circun stances cannot afford
the pleasure of an afternoon drive or
outing in that way. 1t has been said
that the trolley is the poor mans
carriage. Be that as it may, I have
noticed that people in all walks of life
use it throughout the Oranges,
Newark, and along the coast those
who own carriages are the best pa
irons So it will be here. The horse
cars were opposed on Broadway, New
York City, but how many would
approve of the removal of the trolley.
The Telephone Co. entered Norris
town under great difficulty. how
many would fight to keep them out
today? So with the electric light,
many said our town would ruined,
and people of means would be driv-
en- from town, Has anyone been
kept from Morristown on that &C.
count? On the other hand it's not the
first question, Do we have these mo-
dern necessities? So, Mr.. Editor, it
would be with the trolley. We would
wonder how we ever came tn oppose
it. Don't let us as q community
take backward step, let us be up
to the times, encourage rather than
discourage all the up to- date improve
ments. 1t will be a convenience and
help TO all, merchants, property
holders and workingman.
PROGRESS.

Mr.. Editor:

| would like to ask through your
columns where the Board of Trade
stands on the trolley" question.
Every once in a while we hear that
a projected line is to enter Morris
town, that surveys have been made
and canvassers are securing consent
of the property owners along the
proposed line. 1t is beginning to be
tiresome to many of US by this time.
The citizens ought to know whether
they want it or not. Now. if our
Board of Trade really thinks that it
would be Of benefit to the business
men and the community as we'll, why
is there not committee appointed
to confer with the citizens and come
to some definite understandings. In
some places there are public meetings
held to either discourage or to en-
courage those who have the project
in hand. Why would not such q plan
be feasible. Let us hear from the
"board.

The new company is incorporated

warning. The money of Jersey in
