troduced for first reading at a re-
cent session of the Board of Alder

PRESIDENT FACING GRAVE CRISIS
IN THE SITUATION IN MEXICO
NEGOTIATIONS
FOR FAST LINE
Public Service Alter Eliza
beth -milItoWn Trolley Route.

Tt was stated today by an official of
the Public Service Corporation that the
company was negotiating with the
Elizabeth & Trenton Trolley company
for the right of way between Eliza
beth and Milltown, just outside of New
Brunswick, which is the connecting link
with the New Brunswick and Trenton
line, over which the Public Service cars
have been operating since last month
under an agreement.
The prospect of the negotiations for
the Elizabeth and Midtown link be
ing consummated in favor of the Pub
lie Service or how soon such negotia-
tions might be completed was a ques-
tion in the mind of the Public Service
official and he did not care to state just
what the Public Service plans We're on
the assumption that the deal would
go through.
While the portion of the fast line be-
tween New Brunswick and Trenton, via
Milltown is now in operation, the sec
tion between Elizabeth and Milltown
was never placed in operation, although
a considerable portion of the grade with
tressles, bridges, etc, was established
several years ago.
The right of way has been secured
through this section and it would take
comparatively little work to put troll
ley system in running order. If this
line was established much new terri
tory would be opened to easy commun-
ieation with the world in general both
in freight and passenger serviee.

enacted ought to be destroyed. Why,
at the present time no leader on the
