TRENTON TO AssUsY PAsK.
Trolley Trip Across State bp Way of South
Amboy.'

Trenton will have electric railroad
connections with Asbury Park early
this summer whether the Trenton
Lakewood and Atlantic railroad ever
turns a shovelful of earth or not.
The round trip fare will be some
thing like S1.t0 or 81. 60 and the time
consumed each way will be about
four hours, moro or less.
The new route to the shore is via
the Trenton and New Brunswick rail-
road to Midtown Junction, from there
to South Amboy over the Middlosex
and Somerset division of the Public
Service, and from South Amboy to
Red Bank over the Jersey Central
Traction oompany's lines.
At Red Bank connection will be
made with the Monmouth Traction
company for Long Branch, and at
Long Branch the cars connect with
the Atlantic Coast Electric railway
or Asbury Park and Belmar.
There has long been q break be-
tween South Amboy and Red Bank,
but this has bsen about bridged by the
JERSEY Central Traction company,
which IL controlled by the Wander
grift Construction company of Phila-
delphia.
The trip from Trenton to the sea-
shore, over this line. will be of much
interest, and will doubtless be taken
advantage of by a largo number of
people.
With the exception of about q mile
all the track is laid and cars are now
running over the greater part of the
distance.
