EDITOR OF THE CHRONICLE
DEAR SIR Il notice that an appli-
cation was laid before the trustees
OF the Morrjstown Green to lay trolley
tracks on all four sides oft. In view
of the fact that a little more than
three years ago the Morristown Board
of Trade had some difficulty in getting
the merchants around the Green to al
low the trolley. to even enter the town,
.it,seems remarkable that the trolley
Interest should dare present PROPOSE
tion to girdle the Green, or that the
merchants should now be willing to
slop over toward the trolley interests
so magnanimously.
The trolley people should be allowed
to skirt one side of the Green, but it
would be a grave mistake from any
viewpoint to allow them to monopolize
all four sides In few years we shall
expect other roads from Somerville
and Mendham, which ought to have
rights equal to the local trolley inter
ests. 1t is wrong to allow one compa-
ny to pre-empt all the street room pos
sible and thus be in position to bar
other trolley interests when they come
into our town.
Mark Twain in his recent book on
Christian Science assumes that every
body is crazy upon some one question.
Is it possible that some of our town
authorities are likely to become insane
upon the matter of giving away all
prominent thoroughfares to single
local trolley interest? If so, they are
heading toward Morris Plains.
