BLOOMFIELD in FAVOR
OF CANAL ABANDONMENT

The residents Of Bloomfield are prac-
tically unanimous in favor of the Nor
ris canal abandonment bill, and it is
probable that the Town Council will
go on record at an early date in favor
OF the measure.
A prediction has been made that
within a year the bed of the canal will
be used for a high-speed trolley serv-
ice between Jersey City and Paterson.
The ditch at present is looked upon as
a nuisance. Converted into a trolley
line the real estate boom, particularly
in the Brookdale section of the town,
it is believed, would be unprecedented.
