CITY authorities are discussing seri-
ouslv proposal to take at least one
forward step in the regulation OF trafile
on North Main street by requesting the
B. g. NJ. Traction & Power Co. TO stop
its Washington street cars several rods
up the street from the point where halts
are now made for the accommodation OF
passengers. 1t is contended that the
presence of street car near the juno
ton of Washington, Main and Elm
streets not only complexities considerably
the question of traffic regulation there,
but that it heightens the danger OF col
lisions and other accidents in which au-
tomobiles, teams and pedestrians are
likely to figure. At a recent get-togeth-
er meeting of the city council, the mat
ter was brought up for discussion by
Alderman Hoban and the councillors APP
peared TO look with favor on the pro-
posal. 1t is understood that the city,
through its franchise, can make a
change obligatory.
