The petition was referred, ss LIS
necessary. to the committee on streets
and sewers.
1t is believed that those in favor o
securing the pavement this time are
in thorough earnest, and will us8
every legitimate means to have the
asphalt laid.
The faie OF the former petition, fol4
lowed by a numerously s gned remou-
strapce, when the project became
buried and forgotten, is still fresh in
the minds Of many, and it is to be
hoped that the latest move, for thia
desirable Improvement to one OF the

ARE TAKING
SOUNDINGS.
Employees 7of the Pennsylvania
Railroad at Work Near
DraWbridge.

Engineers, understood to be in the
employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, have for two or three davs
heen making soundings west Of the
Central railroad bridge. The Penn
sylyanla interests own the privileges
for a distance of one hundred feet
west of the Central bridge, Whether
they are looking towards the erection
of bridge of their own, or whether
the soundIngs are being made simply
for the drawing up or certain maps
charts, is not known.
The Pennsylvania and New jersey
Central companies use the New York
and Long Branch bridge under joint
but the Pennsylvania uses
the Central TRACKS 10 this city, from
Woodbridge junction to the river,
only under a lease from the Central.
Some time ago there were rumors
of threats on the part Of the Cent al
interests TO shut down on this priv
lege, and the Pennsylvania quietly
secured q parallel strip, one hundred
f-et wide, for the possible laying Of
tracks shoGld the occasion arise.
While the presence Of the sounding
corps may mean Ii tie, it may, on the
other hand, be of the highest signi
ffcance, and may contain promise Of
early action looking toward new i'm
