TROLLEY MEN FORM
STEAM ROAD COMPANY
VIII Locate Route From Nor
riStOWn TO Madison.

That the Morris County Traction
Co. will not be delayed in building
its trolley line between Morristown
and Madison despite the opposition
of wealthy residents Of the section
traversed is evidenced by the filing
in the Secretary of States office at
Trenton of certificate OF incorpora-'
tion of the Morris Railroad company
This road is to locate a route for
a steam railroad between Morris
street, MorristoWn. and Danforth road
Florham Park. a distance OF three
miles.
This road will be leased to the
trolley company, as is allowed by the
law, though the railroad be built un-
der a steam road charter.
The ineorporators or the new com
pany are all connected with the Nor
ris County Traction CO. They are
A. Gross MacConnell, chairman OF the
right of way committee; Carl V. Vogt.
of the company's counsel; George G.
Todd, a foreman OF the enginesring
department; Otto G. Schultz, secre-
tary; George A Gilfillin, consulting
engineer, and John l. Deach, chief
engineer.
Elmer King. counsel for the new
company, has filed the route at Tren-
ton and also put up the $4,000 re
quired by law
With the advent Of spring the Nor
ris County Traction Co is planning
improvements to its service. The
power at this end of the line is poor
Instead OF getting the standard $50
volts, the electricity coming from the
Dover power house of the company,
has only a voltage OF $50.
4 To remedy this the company is IN
stalling additional units in its Dover
plant and Will run booster" wires 10
Morristown to increase the voltage
here. An addition Of $50 horse power
is being made to the Dover plant 10
accomplish this and the voltage here
will be raised to $50.
a rumor has been current that the
company was arranging with Chat
liam power company 10 supply power
for this end of the line. This is
emphatically denied by the trolley
officials who say that the plants in
either Chatham or Madison would be
unable TO furnish sufficient power to
run the cars.
The company had purchased prop
erty near the Passaic river at Chat
nam, opposite the Commonwealth
Water and Light plant. and will begin
work within few days on the erec-
ton of a power house The new
plant will be of 1900 horse power.
The boilers are already at Dover and
the other machinery has been ordered
dozen new cars of the $50"
type have been ordered and are ex-
pected to be here for use this sum-
mer. The cars are to be of the semi
convertible type that the company is
already using here.
AS soon as the roads dry out the
company will begin the work of double
tracking the line on Speedwell av-
enue. The extra track will be put
in only as far as the town goes with
the pavement, however. as the traffic
on the line is not expected to demand
double track for a year or two at
least Work on extending the track
on Morris street will also be started
soon.
