SHORT CUT TO
ELIzABETH
Trolley Men Getting Right of Way
for the Fast Line. afrOm
New Brunswick

Work was started this week on the
extension of the New Brunswick aud
Trenton fast line trolley road be-
tween Midtown and Elizabeth in the
cross State chain, of which the
stretch between the city on the Della
ware and the city on the Raritan has
been in operation for two years. The
work, while not hat of laying tracks
and setting poles, is equally import
ant in that it consists of securing
rights of way and arranging for
bridges and so forth.
An official of the last named road,
when seen yesterday, in Elizabeth,
where he has been arranging with
owners of property between Metuchen
and New Brunswick, said:
"It is rue that Trenton and New
Brunswick road intends operating n
through line between New York and
Trenton. Whether it will DO in con-
junction with the Public Service Cor.
poration's proposed extension through
Railway / do not care to state at pres
emit. We have heard that such a rou.o
is contemplated by your local com
pany, but 1 can say that my visit here
today is wholly in the intere sts of the
fast line"
Il was said in Trenton n short time
ago that the Trenton and New Bruins
wick road was planning to carry out
the trans state trolley project in con-
nection with the Public Service Cor
poration's new extension between
Elizabeth and Railway, thus cutting
off fourteen miles and two hours in
time, which are now traversed in the
New Brunswick cars in going through
Plainfield and Bound Brook. THIS,
the official, who did not wish his
name to be used, would not discuss.

SETTLING UP IN THE SOUTH

relates the Sun. Except in the larger
cities found merchants doing business
by the old methods.
In some of the mountain towns the
old credit system still prevails. l do not
know just how they do it, but I think it
S on some system of reciprocity.
Il was in a store in eastern Tennessee
when an old family doctor came in to
tettle his account. The merchant owed
him for professional services, and he
owed the merchant for dry goods and
groceries. After they had compared ac-
counts the merchant owed the doctor
something over a dollar.
Shall we settle up now or let it 80
over on next years account?" asked ths
merchant.
ct reckon we'd better settle now was
the reply. I have a patient up the creek
that needs some cod liver oil, and as |
haven't any, and you have, you can
square by giving me the difference in cod
liver
1.-The cod liver is only a dollar, Doc,
and still owe you something over. Do
you think of any little thing you'd like to
make it even, or how?'
THE merchants stock was general
merchandise, including druggists sun
dries. The old doctor looked around for
a few minutes and then said:
You might make the balance in a
porous plaster. I've got to put ohe on
jim H~offington, who sprained his back
yesterday trying to pry his wagon out
of the mire.'
The merchant got out the article and
handed it over. Then he figured and
said:
THAT leaves me five cents in your
debt, Doc. How'll yc@ have it?'
You might give me a nickel's worth
OF II plaster to make it even. I've
got a case about a mile out where itU
come handy
