FIRST WITH THE NEWS.

The South Amboy NEWS columns
were the first to tell about the n. Y.
and l.. B. Raoilroad Company having
in contemplation the raising of the
tracks along the route through this
borough and the idea that they may
do so is still in the peoples minds
and freely discussed. If they are
still expecting to make the improve
ments they may have known that a
new station will have to be built then
and so put off giving us a nice one
until the other work is done. That
may account for our having TO put up
with the barn-like structure We have
Mt present.
