LINEMEN KEPT ON
THE MOVE ALL DAY.
Ice on The Wires Crippled the Troll
ley and Telephone Systems
Brought Cars to a StandstiII.

Every lineman in the employ of
the New York and New Jersey Tele-
phone Company and the Public Ser
vice Corporation in this district was
kept on the hustle yesterday after
noon for the ice which formed on the
wires between Keasbey and New
Brunswick was so heavy that a num-
Der of the wires fell. Telephone ser
vice was bad, while trolley service
between these points was about the
worst it has ever been.
A trolley car that left New Bruns-
wick at l O'Clock arrived here at just
3 O'Clock. In conversation with a
NEWS reporter, a number of the
passengers said that the wires were
so coated with the ice that it was
almost impossible for the car TO move
and that in a number of cases the
cars came to a standstill because the
power could not be passed from the
wire TO the trolley pole until the crew
had taken long sticks and knocked
off the ice.
AS the day advanced and the sun
came out the trolley and telephone
system began 10 improve. and at 4
o'clock cars were running on good
time while telephone service was fair
Many wires between this city
and Carteret and between Carteret
and Chrome. came down yesterday
afternoon because of the heavy ice
and it took linemen many hours to
make the necessary repairs.
