Just as the civilian believes that an ex-

West Point graduates think the man from

PROPOSITION FROM P. S. c.
in PLANK ROAD MATTER.
Will Move Its Tracks as Soon
as Possible.

The conference between the Public
Service Corporation and Hudson and
Essex counties on the question of the
removal of the company's tracks from
the sides to the centre of the road, as
desired by the counties, resulted today
in letter from Thomas N. McCarter,
president of the Public Service Corpo-
ration, to County Counsel John Griffin.
The corporation offers a proposition
which it is said ought to adjust mat
ters speedily.
The company contends that under
existing tracks it cannot be required to
move the tracks. 1t also states that
the cost of moving the old tracks and
installing new ones would cost about
$1,000, which expense, the company
declares, 1t will take upon itself should
the counties come to an agreement con-
cerning the disputed right of traffic
across the Bridge street, Avenue c,
Turnpike and jackson street bridges.
An additional condition named by the
corporation is as follows: When the
permanent fill is ready for the con-
struction of west-bound track in the
centre of the road the company will
tear up both the old tracks and oper-
ate traffic in both directions on the
west bound track, with a temporary
turnout The company wants the as
surance of the counties that the build
ing of a new fill for the east-bound
track will not be unnecessarily delayed
