Petition Being Circulated in the
Township to be Presented at
Next Meeting of the CON-
mitteemen.
CREEK BRIDGE.
Carteret Citizens Fear With Right
TO Cross Creek II will be Sev-
eraI Years Before Line Is
Built.

A petition asking the Woodbridge
township committee to refuse to grant
the Public Service Corporation right
to cross Woodbridge creek bridge. un-
less they build spur from Wood
bridge TO Carteret, is now being cir.
culated among the people of Oarteret
and it is receiving numerous sigma
lures.
Another petition to the effect that
the township committee allow the
trolley company to cross the bridge is
also being circulated, but 1t 10 uuder-
stood that this one 10 not meeting
with much success. Both these petit
tIons will be presented to the town
ship committee at their next me sting
when the trolley people expect hear
ing.
1t is understood that the petition to
compsl the trolley company to build
spur to Csrtsret is in the hands Of ali
the prominent Carteret people, who
know that il they do not get the COM
pany to build the spur before the per-
nit to Cross the bridge is granted.
that it will be some years before they
will get trolley service.
The trolley company. it is under
stood, claim that it would not pay
them to build spur TO Carteret and
to operate cars to that place as the
traffic would be very light. The citi I
zens Of Carteret say that the place ID
growing all tke time and that they
need trolley service the worst way and
that il would not cost go much TO
build the SPUR and to operate cars
1t is thought that the petition will
have great deal of influence with
the township committee. for it is part
~ because of this reason that the COM
mittee heretofore has not granted a
permit to the trolley company to cross
the bridge.
1t Is ramored that at the next meet
ing Of the township committee the
Public Service Corporation will urge
that they be permitted to cross the
bridge at once as il will take SONS
little time to get the bridge In orde'
and they want to be able TO run car
direct TO Boynton Beach, without
transfer. this summer.
This coming meeting will mos
likely be warm one for It is said ths
Carteret people are determined Il
have trolley service.
