Summit Notes

Mayor Francis H. Bergen last night
tried for the first time his new traffic
regulation in Union place, opposite
the Ilackawanna Railroad station. A
policeman was stationed on each
crosswallx leading from Beechwood
road to the depot between the hours
of 4:30 and 6:45, and vehicles were
not allowed to cross east or west over
the crosswalks. Mayor Bergen ex-
poets the new regulation will greatly
lessen the danger of accident during
the rush hours in the evening, when
hundreds of commuters cross Union
place from the station.
For three hours yesterday after

The railroad attorney also objected
TO the liability of the railroad on ac-
count of the removal of all overhead
structures such as wires, and also the
latter to the provision Of the phrase
the borough shall cause TO be re-
moved all overhead structures, etc,
insofar as it shall not be deemed a
breach of contract
In reference to the amendments
submitted by Mr. Rathbun, he OBJ
jected to the provision for new streets
in the future and for the payment of
the advertising of ordinances by the
railroad The other amendments
seemed to be agreeable to him In
a subsequent clause Mr.. Stallman
provided that the railroad only bear
the expense of the bridge for its
tracks at Ridgedale avenue. He
thought that all other expense III con
nection with the elimination of this
crossing should be borne by the town.
The Councils Limitations.
This latter clause. striking out Of
the indemnity provisions and the ig-
noring OF the limitation of damages.
are three things that the council Will
positively not stand for. After the
meeting, Mr.. Rathbun said that he
did not think that the railroad has
acted at all fair with Madison in this
matter.
Other objections on the part of the
railroad were merely technical. They
agreed. by not disparaging, with q
subway at Ridgedale avenue and the
raising of their tracks made neces-
sary by the provisions of the new or
dinance.

Railroads viii Cooperate
While Ground Is Being
Cut for Normandy Bridge
Especial to the Evening star.I

MORRISTOWN. May 5.--Work was
started yesterday by the Morris Rail
road Company on a switch from the
present track to the temporary track
from Kings road to St Elizabeth 3
Convent, preparatory to the work on
| the Laclkawanna cut for the new
bridge across both railroads lines at
Normandy Parkway
The trolley company will use the
temporary track while the Lackawan-
ma has the Morris Railroads permits
sion to use the latter's present track.
In regard to the temporary change,
Otto G. Schultz, treasurer of the Nor
ris Railroad Company and the Morris
County Traction Company, said that
work would begin at once under an
amicable agreement between the two
companies whereby his company
granted the Lackawanna privilege to
use the formers present track while
the work is progressing. The Lacka-
wanna, he said, will take the section
where its east and west-bound tracks
now lie and excavate lit 40 depth of
nine feet and for a distance of TWEEN
ty-f1ve hundred feet
The Lackawanna's temporary pair
of tracks will be taken next, it using
rails laid in the new cut. When this
work is completed the excavation of
the Morris Railroads cut will be
made. While this is in progress the
latter will use its present tracks,
which will then be in the cut. Be
cause of the manner in which the cut
must be made on the Morris Railroad
the present temporary track will be
left suspended in the air and will be
taken up. Mr. Schultz expressed the
wish that the Lackawanna would
start work at once. AS soon as an
overhead wire is strung trolleys will
be run over the temporary track.
