ROAD
TO BE BUILT.
Public Service Not Going to
Have Everything Its Own
Way in North Jersey.

The Public Service Corporation of
New Jersey, which controls the troll
ley lines and gas and electric plants
in the northern part of the state is
threatened by a rival traction COM
pany, just Incorporated, with a cap
ital stock of $4,000, 900 under the
name of the Hudson Street Railroad
Company. The hackers of the new
enterprise are men who are interest
ed in McAdoo Hudson River tunnels
and the Manhattan subway system.
The articles of Incorporation were
filed at the Office of County Clerk
Rotterdam in Jersey City. The in
corporators and their addresses are
Pliny Fisk, Rye, N. Y; Walter G..
Oakman, Roslyn, N. Y; Wilbur C.
Fisk, New York city; Andrew Freed
man, New York city; David Young,
Newark, and William G. McAdoo,
Yonkers, N. Y. Each incorporation
holds 800 shares of stock of the par
value of 500 per share, and the
company will begin business with
100000. The principal Office of the
company will be at SIS Montgomery
street, Jersey City, and Kenyon B.
Conger will be the agent upon whom
processes against the company may
be served.
The organization of the new com
pany was perfected by the election
of a board of directors with these Of
ficers: William G. McAdoo, presi-
dent; Andrew Freedman, vice presi-
dent; Kenyon B. Conger, secretary,
and William c.. Kinney, treasurer.
1t is said that the new company
purposes to operate lines of trolley
ears in all the leading cities and
towns in Hudson county. The cars,
it is said, will be run in close connec-
ton with the tunnels from Fifteenth
street, Jersey City, to Morton street,
New York, and from the GOT of Elk
change place to Cortlandt street,
New York. A connecting tunnel run
ming under land north from the Penn
sylvania railroad depot to Hudson
place, Hoboken, the terminal of the
trolley lines running to the north
Hudson county municipalities, is
projected.
The Public Service Corporation an
nounced a few weeks ago that it in
tended to build two new tunnels
from near Erie and Twelfth streets,
Jersey City, under the Hudson to the
Brooklyn Bridge entrance in New
York. 1t was also said that the com

trolley line from the tunnels between
Jersey City and Newark.
William G.. McAdoo, president of
the new company, said that it would
build about fifty miles of railroad in
Hudson county.
The company was organized" he
said, for the purpose of increasing
and improving the local transporta-
ton facilities throughout the princi-
pal cities and towns of Hudson coun-
ty with a view to operating these
lines in connection with the tunnels
now being built under the Hudson
river. We believe that the present
local street railroad facilities in Hud-
county are entirely inadequate to
meet the existing demands and that
this deficiency will become all the
more noticeable after the Hudson
river tunnels are completed.
1.-The G lines are so planned as
to tap the tunnels at points back
from the water front, SO that fast
time can be made through the con-
gestcd business districts in Jersey
City and Hoboken, and this, coupled
with the fact that the new lines will
have superior track construction and
most modern equipments, will result
in reducing the time between the res
idental and business districts of New
York and New Jersey to practically
one-half of that o required to get
across the river"
1t is believed that work will be
hurried SO that some of the lines will
be opened when the tunnels are fin
about eighteen months from
now. Nearly all the men in the Hud-
son Street Railroad Company are in
terested in the Hudson river tunnel
enterprises.
