On motion of Alderman Seaman,
City Clerk LaRoe was instructed to
communicate with the officials of the
Raritan Terminal & North Shore
Transportation Company and inform
them that their tracks in Market
street were too high, and request
that they lower them. Mr.. Seaman
stated that the Jersey Central Trac-
tion Company was ripping up the
| bitulithic pavement in Market street
at present and thought that now was
the proper time to have the tracks
lowered. The Raritan company will
be asked to pave between their
tracks at the crossing with the BIZ
tulithic material Mr.. Seaman add
ed that 1t would be a good idea to
have all the railroads pave their
crossings instead of laying the wood
en- timbers, which he said, caused
humping whenever a vehicle passed
over them The latter matter the
clerk will take up with the railroads
| officials.

passed on its second and final read

ley Railroad Company. Convery
place, when extended, will cross the
railroad and the representative was
desirous of ascertaining just what
method was to be used in doing so.
The aldermen want a bridge across
