TROLLEY LINE
Chances Against Proposed

special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NE WS.
Keansburg, March ga great
deal has been said and printed OF
late about a trolley line being built
from the steamboat dock to connect
at Palmer avenue with the Jersey
Central lines, but q NEWS reporter
has been informed by good author
ity that the chances r against the
proposition this year.
1t has been rumored that the
Jersey Central Traction Company has
submitted two propositions to the
New Point Comfort Beach Company,
one that the beach company guaran-
tee the traction company $4,000 rev.
enue for the first season and they
will build and operate this proposed
line; the other rumor has 1t that Ii
the beach company will build the
road that the traction company will
operate 1t,
To build the road ready for SER
vice it Is said will cost 100000.
whether either n of these propo-
sitions, If true, win be accepted by
the beach company cannot be posi-
lively stated, but 1t would seem from
what could be gathered that this
coming season, at least, will see no
trolley to the beach direct.

Beedle, CASTOR, Wardell Thompson,
Henderson were present.
a letter was read from Il. M.
Haley Hose Company saying they
had recently tested their hose and
found they possessed eight bad
lengths, also their brass nozzle Is In
bad condition. A request was made
for 500 feet of new hose, also a new
nozzle. The matter was referred to
the street and water committee to
Investigate and with power to pur-l
chase the necessary hose required.
Report OF street and water com
mittee was next heard. 1t was sta
ted that nothing could be done as yet
about the sidewalks as the bad
weather had made 1t impossible for
the grade to be surveyed. Council
man Castor, at this point, thought
1T would be wen to have the streets
Bprinkled MS soon as possible, as the
housewives are now cleaning house
and the streets are in a dusty condi-
tion. The question was raised
whether the Board of Freeholders
were willing ia pay for the water
used for sprinkling the streets, but
no n knew definitely.
Norman Tice made an offer that

water free he would, for the next

This proposition was met with an
answer from Harry Hulshart, who
Also wants the contract to sprinkle
the streets this summer with the
eane offer, finally saying he thought
1T unfair to allow one to start In
without a contract. Mr.. Hulshart
suggested that he be allowed the
privilege to sprinkle one side of each
street and Mr.. Tice the other until
the contract was let. After some lit
tie argument, 1t was decided to lay
the whole matter over until next

BOYS PLAN TO ROB A SAFE.
Leslie Turner, II Years Old, Tells OF
n Plot.

Seattle.-To rob the Fremont bank
by blowing the safe with soup" they
had made themselves and then off to
Mexico with the loot. This was the
scheme of -four Capitol Hill boy stu
dents at the Longfellow school, ac-
cording to the statement made to the
police by Leslie Turner, IA years old,
one of the members of the gang, short
ly after his arrest as he vas prowling
about Pike street just before day
break. The boy vas armed with a
big revolver.
A story, of which the police are
skeptical, however, is that several
members of the gang were responsible
for a series OF safe blowing Jobs In
Fremont about IS months ago. This
part of the statement by Turner. the
police believe, was simply told hin
by his confederates to impress their
wicked character on him in becoming
a member of the gang.
