The Raritan Laundry will open for
business in this city and vicinity
Monday. The new proprietors are
William Hulsizer and William O.
Lydiard, both we'll known and popular
about town. The establishment at "A
Fayette street has been undergoing
extensive repairs for some time, and
much new machinery has been in
stalled.
An experienced man from New York
city has been engaged to take charge
of the plant, and new laundry
wagon has been purchased In con-
nection with the machine work all
shirts willbe ironed by hand, thus
lnsuring great satisfaction in that
direction.
The general overhauling the plant
has received, and the scale the bust
ness will be operated on, makes this
one of the best equipped establish
ments of its kind in this section of
the State and it will doubtless be a
great success. The fact that two OF

this venture will win support and q
large share of patronage hereabouts.

MORE DISCUSSION
ABOUT THE TROLLEY.
Woodbrdoe PEOPLE Acoin Spend an Evening TdngWdnt to

is Requested to file Maps at the Next Meeting

it, for one thing, would not pay them
and again, the trolley company, with
such a clause in it's franchise, would
find it very hard to get trust COM
pany TO bond it. Mr.. Savage told the
committee that his advice would be
not to grant the franchise to the COM
pany unless it was willing for this
clause to be inserted. "And you can
make up your minds, continued Mr..
Savage, "that they will not mind a
little thing like that, and if they do,
there are number of other companies
who would like to come through
Woodbridge. -
The chairman said that this would
then be taken up at the next meeting
of the committeeman.
Mr.. Brown wanted to know if the
clause providing that no greater than
thirty three school tickets should be
sold. to any child for 81. 90, should not
read not less than thirty-three instead
of greater. 1t was shown that the
way the clause read was all right,
meaning, as whole, that the tickets
were to be sold.
Mr.. Savage then started discussion
by asking if the clause providing that
in the failure of the company to oper-
ate it's cars for period of thirty days
it should lose their franchise, would
allow the company to run it's cars only
one day each month, remaining idle
the rest of the time Everyone in the
room was interested in this and they
all awaited an answer. Mr.. Quin
said that this would be an impossible
thing. Mr.. Savage replied that few
years ago man in Warren county
built a railroad to carry his peaches
from his place down to the Lehigh
Valley station and had clause like
the one in question inserted. When
the peach season was on he operated
the road every, day. When it was
over only once month were cars run,
but by doing this he saved his fran
chise. This will also be brought be-
fore the town committee.
