could run its ears over the Public Ser
vice tracks into the heart Of the city
itself. The Public Service agreed only
after exacting the most advantageous
terms for itself from the Jersey Cen
trail.
Finally, an ordinance dated Deem
Der 8, 1908, was passed by the South
Amboy council granting the Jersey Cen
tralpermission to enter the borough.
The Jersey Central success was short
lived, however, for the ordinance was
at once held up on certiorari proceed
ings. Troubles seemed to pile up from
now on. 1t was evident that the new
road would have to fight for all that it
got. After many hearings and some liti-
cation an ordinance was passed grant
ing the Jersey Central the right OF way
through Stevens avenue in South Am
boy and over to the Hole-in-the-
Wall" The difficulties the Jersey Cen
trail encountered in getting through
South Amboy would make a long story
in itself. 1t can be summed up In the
statement that the patience, fair deal
ing and courteous manner of the gen
eral manager, George 1. Brown, under
the most trying circumstances, ably sec
onded by the exceptional legal ability
of Hon. Edmund Wilson, the attorney
for the Jersey Central, finally won out
and the Jersey Central eventually op-

The Raritan River Bridge.
All this time the bridge across the
Poritop rivar nnunnn+inu partb op6
South Amboy, was being constructed
Middlesex county. This bridge was a
long time building. Why, is another
story. When it was first started there
was a great fight On for the trolley
franchise across the structure. 1t was
realized that the right to cross the
bridge was the key to the whole trolley
situation between the cities on the
north and the resorts along the Jersey
coast. The automobiles were not so
common in those days and trolley rid
ing was a favorite pastime. Before
the bridge was completed, however, the
different roads in the vicinity of Perth
and South Amboy were absorbed by the
Public Service Corporation and later
the limited franchise law was passed
by the state legislature. With the pas
sage of this the Public Service announc-
ed that it would build no more lines
as long as the law remained On the
statute books. This left the field al
most exclusively to the Jersey Central.
This company made application for
a franchise to operate a trolley road
across the Raritan river bridge in 1907.
Although not intending to build a road

that year it was purchased by the Key
port & Matawan Street Railroad Com
pany. The only change in the name
being the substitution of the word
RAILROAD for galway" The line
continued to be operated as a horse
car line until July a, 1901, when cleo
tricity supplanted the horse as a mo-
tive power. This was al important oc-
casion In the history Of the road and
was duly celebrated. Up to this time
the road had served only as a means Of
communication between Keyport and
the station of the New York & Long
Branch Railroad at Matawan. That was
what the road was established for and
the people thought of it in no other
way. With the substitution of electric
ity, however, and the extension of the
trolleys throughout the country, the old
horse car line began to look into the
accomplished in the way Of rapid trans
portation.
But as the substitution Of electricity
for the horse as a motive power in
creased the facilities of the road, so it
increased the cost Of operating and
maintenance. Besides, if the road were
to be extended to its full possibilities
more capital would be needed. A
change was inevitable and the present
Jersey Central Traction Company was
the outcome. The certificate changed
the name from the Keyport s. Mata-
wan Street Railroad Company to that
of the Jersey Central Traction Com
pany was dated October 4, 1901. 1t was
filed October 23, 1901.
Expansion Begins.
The road now entered upon its period
of expansion. For two years the Jer-
sey Central devoted It's time and money
to putting the line already built in first
class condition. The first new road to
be built was in 1908 when the line was
extended from the station of the New
York & Long Branch Railroad at Mat
awan through the town of Matawan and
on to the village of Freneau, a few
miles distant. It was now Matawan s
turn to celebrate. The first car was
run to Freneau, January 26, 1903.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-08-05

But this was only q beginning. The
Jersey Central Traction Company was
like a ship that had found herself. In
the same year that the extension
through Matawan to Freneau was built,
the line from Keyport to Red Bank, in
one direction, and to South Amboy, in
the other direction, was commenced.
The first car was run to South Amboy,
April 7, 1904, and the first car was run
to Red Bank February II, 1908. By
this time the Jersey Central Traction
Company meant something more than
a mere electrical horse car line. 1t had
spread out through a rich portion of
Central New Jersey and had actually
become a trolley system. Red Bank
already had her trolley line to the shore
and South Amboy had the Public Ser
vice Corporation line to Sayreville,
South River and New Brunswick. Here
connections could be made to other por-
tons of the state, but for the Jersey
Central Traction Company this was of
little advantage as it was still without
a terminal of it's own Of any great size.
1t formed a connecting link, however,
but the real link was yet to be weld
ed. The link was a route across the
Raritan river to Perth Amboy where
a direct route to the cities on the north
could be reached. Then, too, Perth
Amboy was rapidly becoming one of
the leading cities of the state and it's
Importance as a trolley terminus was
readily realized.
Lack of a Real Terminal.
While the Jersey Central Traction
Company had now become a trolley
system, extending from South Amboy
to Red Bank, through Keyport and to
Matawan, it was still only a feeder for
other roads. 1t really went nowhere
in particular itself. OF course, it had
the local traffic between the towns nam
ed, which is not inconsiderable, as
Keyport, Matawan, Red Bank and
South Amboy are no mean places, yet
for through traffic it could only carry
people to Red Bank, where they would
take the cars of another road, or to
South Amboy where they would take
the ears of the Public Service. Com

Do not place in the hands of your
child such toys as whips, guns and
swords. but teach him rather that need

him TO find delight in studying the
birds with an opera glass instead Of
shooting them. and to take pleasure in
feeding them rather than in rObbing
their nests. There is no surer way to
teach a child 10 be unselfsh and
thoughtful for others than to make
him cOnsiderata of the feelings OF his
pets: yet this fact seems TO be utterly
lost sight of in the training Of many
children.
