Following the announcement ia
the EVENING NEWS several days
ago that work had been started on
the trestle for the Jersey Central
Traction Company across the Raritan
river, comes the report that, through
an agreement between the JERSEY
Central and the Public Service Corr
poration the two companies are I'd
use each others tracks In PASSING
through this city and across tho
bridge.
Hindrances In the form of legal
proceedings, which have prevented
the Jersey Central from operating its
franchise to construct tracks across
the county bridge have been cleared
away, 1t is said, and the work Of
track laying will be resumed at onc6s
The information was given out al
the Office of the Public Service Corr
poration that the legal proceedings.
which have impeded the work will bS
withdrawn as the result of an underH
standing that has been reached, and
that traffic arrangement has been
agreed upon. The proposed arrange4
ment will, 1t is said, enable the Publ
lie Service Corporation to carry its
passengers from the Perth Amboy
side of the Raritan river to the sea<
shore resorts, while the Central conf,
pany will be able to run from thd'
shore points to Perth Amboy and on
to Railway.
The Public Service now controls
the right of way down SheridaH
street to the bridge In this city. IL
is probable that this track will now
be laid and the Jersey Central will
enter this city over the Public Ser<
vice lines. h
In South Amboy the Jersey Cent

across the borough so as to make q
shorter and more direct route foM
