Maps Being Prepared.
The Public Service is preparing

in which the trolleys will operate IN

II is also understood that the Pub

Apotber man suggested is t,
s,raiphten and widen Front an,
ogden streets to Gouveneur stree
and then extend the latter stree
a across Relleville and Bloomfield ave
nues TO PARK street. A trolle
terminal in Park place would brirl
Messengers from all parts of the cit:
IN the McAdoo terminal. which
only a short distance away, and /
the Morris Canal bed shall be utilize
for electric rapid transit the Meade
terminal will be changed to the ape
of Military Park, as originally in
tended. Direct connection woul
then be had between the trolley an
the McAdoo terminals.
With a terminal and loop at Far
place and the development of tn
Mulberry street line by the widenin
of the connecting streets, many trol
ley cars can be taken off Of Broa
street at the Four Corners, but til
traffic In the vicinity Of the lowe
end of Military Park will be great
increased. If the city shall build sui
WAYS from Washington Park to Lir
coin Park. on Broad street, and frol
the Pennsylvania Railroad station |

problem at the -Four Corners will {
