Think CROSSINGS
AGREEMENT NEAR
Bulmer Arranges Peace Meet
ing Between Madison and
Railroad Executives.
LsnscInl to the Evening star.l

MADISON, June 1.-Developments
during the last few days disclose the
fact that there is still a possibility of
negotiations with the Deloware, Lack
awanna & Western railroad for the
elimination of grade crossings and
other improvements here being
brought to favorable close within a
short time, a condition which the res
idents had given up hope of.
1t was understood by all that when
the council drew up and passed an
ordinance which the railroad siren
uously objected to, that all negotla-
tions were Indefinitely postponed.
The railroad objected very stren-
uously to several points in the ordi-
nance when it was submitted to them
for consideration. Notwithstanding
this, the council passed it and 1t was
signed by Mayor Benyew D. Phil
hover. 1t was thought by many that
this would be regarded as slight by
the railroad authorities, and that
they could not with dignity ask for
further consideration of the ques-
tion.
If Madison does have new station
and the elimination of grade cross
ings within a Comparatively short
time, 1t will be due to the efforts OF
Frederick T. Bulmer, of Green Hill
road. He is chairman of the public
ity committee of the Board of Public
Improvement and the owner OF the
Green Hill property. Heretofore Mr..
Bulmer has had nothing to say about
the railroad situation, believing that
it was a matter for the council TO
decide.
Armed with letters of introduction
from prominent men, Mr.. Bulmer
called last week on President Trus-
dale, of the railroad, and they went
over the situation. He learned from
Mr.. Trusdale that the railroad Of
ficials do not seek to take advantage
of Madison in any way, and in re-
turn wanted fair treatment from the
borough. He argued that some peo-
nle seemed to think that because the
railroad is a corporation that 1t
should be bumper on general prin-
ciples.
After considerable discussion, in
which the situation was gone over
thoroughly Mr.. Bulmer obtained the
others consent to again open nego-
tiations with Madison. To this end
a conference between Mr.. Trusdale
and Mayor Philhower will be held
about the middle of this week Mr.
Philhower has agreed to the meet
ing. s,.4
Ii is hoped that an amicable adjust
ment of the difficulties will be a re-
suit of this conference. The results
are doubtful, however, on account OF
the ordinance having already been
passed by the council and signed my
the mayor.
The only result of negotiations
which have lasted since the begin
ming of the year is that the railroad
has submitted to a few essential
points, but every time the company
conceded a point another would be
asked by the council at the instiga--
tion of citizens at public hearings and
otherwise. The final clash came over
the demand that Madison's share oil
the property damages would mot ex-
ceeed $40, 900 and that the railroad be
liable for all damages which migh'
result from the closing OF public
streets to facilitate the work of con-
struction.

TROLLEY CARS REVIVE
RUMORS OF PUBLIC SERVICE

day Saturday and yesterday by per-
sons who wanted to know why they
could not ride from Summit to New
ark for a fiye-cent fare since the
Public Service was operating the
line.
The Public Service cars were mere
" rented for the two days to handle
the holiday rush of travellers. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 persons were
carried between Maplewood and
Wharton Saturday and 5000 yester-
day.
A fifteen-minute schedule between
Madison and Maplewood was main
tained and half-hour service between
Maplewood and Wharton.
Cars on the line were stalled more
than an hour last evening when the
dynamo in the power plant at
Chatham was disabled. During the
early morning rush hours today, the
cars were again stalled by the same
cause Later the repairs were conf
pleted and a part-time service es-
tablished.

SUMMIT, June 1.-The use of the
Public Service trolley cars on the
Morris County Traction Company
line between Maplewood and Whar-
ton Saturday and yesterday was
the cause of the revival of rumors
which have been periodically clrcu-
lated for five years past that the
Public Service had taken over the
Norris County Traction Company
line.
So sure were many of those who
rode in the Public Service cars on
the Maplewood- Wharton line that
the change in ownership had taken
place that no end of trouble was
caused for the conductors by the in
sistent demands for transfers from
the Maplewood line to the Spring
field avenue, Newark, Public Service

Company was kept ringing nearly all

pear at any of the hearings held at

treated by attendants, under the di-
rection of DIR. Weeks, disaproved
