On Bordentown venue. MIR. O'Con-
nor stated he Immediately wrote to
the Public Service Railway Company
to their general Office In Newark:
also submitted to them a map and
profile Of the work to be done on
Broadway and requested an immedi-
ate answer from them, but had
never heard anything since. He

had communicated with them but
he had not received any answer to
the communication. Mr.. O'Connor

Service Company do not agree to
put down new rOadbed, ties and new
foundations, etc, the contractors
Will be held up and it will be neces-

to what course we should pursue. l
would suggest that the Public Ser

don Broadway track for a period of
days or weeks and use the stevens
avenue line of the Jersey Central.

to the Public Utility Commissioners
for a new roadbed as the present

transfer of license from Louis
Schialt to William Helies the party
making the request had not come
forward to receive the transfer and
the committee recommended that
, the transfer be refused. The report
Of the committee was sustained.
