WAR HOLDS UP
TROLLEY GRANT
Trolley Company Can't Get
Signatures from People Ma
rooned in Europe.

The European war has put a stop
for time at least to the endeavor of
the Public Service Railway Company
to obtain a franchise to extend its
Central avenuef line in Orange.
An ordinance granting the franchise
to the company was to have come up
before the Orange commissioners this
afternoon. but the Public Service in
formed the city fathers there would
be no use in passing the ordinance,
because the railway company had
failed to obtain the consent of a ma
jority of the owners of property in
Central avenue.
Many of the Central avenue resi-
dents are marooned in Europe at
present, and it is due to that fact that
the railway company has been unable
to get their signatures on the petition
for the extension of the car line.
One of the last acts of the old Or
ange Common Council before it was
superseded by the commission was to
pass an ordinance granting the rail-
way company a franchise. The coun-
Gil, however, placed some provisions
in the ordinance which the Public
Service declined to accept, so it was
necessary to start proceedings again
with the City Commission.
