is It that Caesar has been so great.
Now my distinguished friend, The
senator, come with something more
than delay, he did not call it exactly
delay, he says let us all get together.
we are going to have a love feast. 1
can readily see, as the mayor sug-
gested, how 1t was that the senator
was. elected. He is going to have a
love feast, he is going to have the
Board of Freeholders to meet with
you, have S~ayreville meet with you,
and out of this community of common
brotherhood you arc going to ponder
up something, going to be nice and
fair. Meanwhile, where Is your troll
ley, who knows If these m%unicipali-
ties are going to e with you, who
knows what the personality is, who
knows how long it will take to dis
pose of these questions? Isn't it I'M
fair after we have come here and
made a fair and honest bargain with
you at this late day, should throw us
back upon a sea of uncertainty"
Into ~Sayreville Township.
Now 1t is worth while to remem-
Der that in the route which we pro
pose taking we travel through the
bounds of S~ayreville township, with
in the control of the authorities of
~Sayreyille township, 400 feet, but it
seems from the senator's suggestion
that we have reached a point where
400 feet of tail should wag the dog.
Now the whole thing ONE down to
this. Do you believe the Central
Traction Company has made this APP
plication in good faith? Do you be-
lieve It's officers honestly and prompt
ly propose to carry out their prom
ises. Do you believe that they have
the personal ability to carry them
out? If you do, then + think to pur-
sue any other course than to grant
this application Is to stultify your
own judgment. Now, can there be
any escape from that decree? | am
very happy to say that Mr.. Morris is
here, the associate of Mr.. Brown in
the management and control of the
Central Traction Company, MIR. Nor
ris, of Philadelphia, and what has
been said by me has been said In his
hearing and | wish to SSH you gem
tlemen that the corporation or com
pany feels that you have treated them
hitherto in a very considerable way
and they feel upon the other hand
that they have proceeded with you
in good faith, being ready now and at
once to carry out this undertaking.
Now, gentlemen, | most urgently in
sist that while we feel exceedingly
thankful to you for the courteous,
gracious and patient way in which
you have dealt with this whole thing,
| most urgently insist that there

tigued and there comes a time to act
upon these suggestions of further
delay. knowing as you must know
where these suggestions emanate
from. You as public officers OF this
town, IL you yield to the suggestions,
put yourselves in a position of stulti-
Tying yourselves"
Back ut Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Silzer: I would not take any
more of your time We're it not for one
TACT. There is a saying in the law
thai when you have IA poor case,
abuse the other fellow, and | am sur
prised, must say, that such an en-
inent member OF the bar as Mr.. Will
son should find 1t necessary, with the
retainer of the corporation in his
pocket, to throw out Installations and
innuendos about the other members
of the bar represented. Now ! have
here that / represent the town
ship OF ~Sayreville and no one else
and if Mr.. Wilson or any of the gen
tlemen behind him think or can show
either directly or indirectly that /
represent anybody else, / will give a
thousand dollars to any charity o.
this town. | want to say this for this
reason, it is not fair to make such an
assertion. AS far as the tail wagging
the dog is concerned, we all know
that up at INTERCHANGEABLE there is a
population Of people who work
here and the township of S%ayreville
is interested"
Mr.. Wilson; Il want to say one
word of personal explanation. I am
entirely willing at all times and un-
der all circumstances to accept the
senator's word for anything he has
think he misunderstands me,
but whatever anyone may have in
ferred from my language, | am en-
tirely willing to take the senator's |
statement as absolutely true"
Mayor: Il though 1t was the priv
even for lawyers to bang each
know it is the custom and
privilege among doctors to call every
one else a quack. Gentlemen. | de-
