A Saturday afternoon rambIe brought
the News correspondent up Pine avenue
on the Heights and therefore along the
newly laid tracks of the trolley road ex-
tension. When at the curve, just before
reaching the cemetery, it was very mo-
ticeable that the bent rails and the road
as laid. would not fit. The rail was bent
altogether too much and one OF the two
win have to be altered. Probably the
rails were bent by hydraulic pressure
with a machine, which work was watched
with interest by outside parties, as 1t
was lone on the ground nearby.
When talking with parties concerning
it. they expressed the thought that 1t Is
going to be a very dangerous place, unz
less the hill on the left is cut down and
levelled off. AS 1t Is a double curve and
the bend is so great that one could be
almost run over before seeing the cars.
Some of the residents were getting very
tired waiting for a sight of the cars and
said that when they see the IN | laid on
the bridge over the Rarltan railroad they
will know what to expect. The wonder
is, will they cross over the bridge that
was built for wagons and pedestrians
only? Or will the Jersey Central trolley
run their cars to the bridge over the Civil
Service Corporation tracks Time Or
course will give the answer.
