COMMUTERS IN
ORGANIZATION
Want Better Train Service
at South AmbOy.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, May 2E-Some
two or three dozen commuters met
in the city hall last evening to or
ganize in a Commuters League.
About one-third of the assembIage
consisted of ladies. The meeting
was called to order and James D.
NanPelt, manager OF the Hillebrand
Coal Company, of New York CITY,
was made president. Harvey EN-
mons was made secretary. The
meeting was thrown open for an ex-
preston of views of those present.
The secretary read a letter from
Ridgeway Such. expressing his re-
grets at not being able to be pres
ent. To indicate the interest he
had in this movement, Mr.. Such en-
closed copy of letter he had writteti
to w. c. Hope, general passenger
agent of the c. r. r. of n. j., in re-
gard to the inadequate train ser
vice at South Amboy, also calling
particular attention to the failure
of his trains to make time and the
lengthy schedule for trains between
this city and New York. The gen
eral opinion appeared to be that the
~ ~ ~ vi ' D. was very HDOu SO
far as local service was concerned,
but that the Pennsylvania railroad
was to an equal extent bad in that
they practically accorded no service
whatever. THE summer schedules
were gone over, showed the Penn
sylvania railroad had out one morn
ing train to New YorK about 10 A.
M, and but one afternoon train
from New York arriving at this city
about 1870 p. NJ. and that no even
ing service from the seashore was
accorded by either road. The fact
that the Pennsylvania railroad had
some few trains from South Amboy
junction, it was stated, could not
be considered, as this station was
practically outside the city. After
discussing the matter quite thor
Oughly it was the consensus Of
opinion that certain of the C. r. R.
of n. J. express trains should stop
at this point. also that the Pennsyl-
yania train passing through this
city for New York about 100 A. NJ.
should stop, together with a suita-
bic evening train from New York.
1t vas decided that the meeting
should adjourn to meet again at
the city hall Monday evening next
at 8 p. M. in conjunction with the
Board of Trade to frame proper
resolutions for presentation to and
endorsement by the city council,
same to then be presented to Con-
gresham Scully and Senator Silzer
for endorsement and forwarding to
the general passenger agents of the
Pennsylvania, and C. r. r. of N. J..
In case no favorable action is taken
it Is the intention to then present
the matter to the Public Utility
Commissioners, as it is thought that
commission will see the justice of
the claim of this city for train SER
vice equal to that accorded Mata-
wan, which is a small town COM
pared with South Amboy and does
not, it is believed, average nearly
sc much revenue to the railroads as
this city.
