RESIDENTS ASK
TROLLEY SERVICE
Appear Before Summit Council
and Urge Franchise for
Trackless Line.
Especial to the Newark start

SUMMIT. Feb. 1S.-Residents of the
western section of this city last night
urged the members of Common Coun-
ell to grant a franchise to the Tri-
County Power and Traction Company
to operate a trackless trolley line
along Springfield avenue through
West Summit.
Aside from an indication that Coun-
Gil may change its attitude relative
TO the annual payments which the
trolley company would be required to
pay the city It was apparent that the
councilmen were not changed by the
arguments.
Probably the strongest argument
In favor OF granting franchise for
the trackless trolley was advanced by
Frank Boye. one of the West Summit
delegation. Mr.. Boye stated that at
the present time there are fifteen
dwellings In West Summit which cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 each. unoccd-
pied.
This condition exists, Mr.. Boye de-
clared, because of the lack of trans
portation facilities. He maintained
that the annual payment of $500,
which the city asks. is excessive.
Mr.. Boye also took occasion to rap
the council for levying an assessment
of 81 per foot against property own
ers for the construction of the West
Summit sewer system when but 81
per foot is assessed for sewer con-
struction in other parts of the city.
Edward c. Holmes, Charles d.
Ferry, Rev. Robert c. Hull, pastor
of the First Baptist Church: w. s.
Day, Edward Whiting, Marshall w.
Green, Alfred J. Kent and J. B. r.
Smith, counsel for the trolley COM
pany, were the others who urged
council to grant the franchise on
more favorable terms to the COM
pany.
Mr.. Holmes declared the fifteen
year franchise offered by the city Is
too short and would be unfair to
investors in the trolley company. A
trolley bus line operated now be-
tween Stirling and Plainf1eld, Mr..
Holmes declared, is diverting busi-
ness from towns alonr the Passaic
and Delaware branch Of the Lacka-
wanna from this city to Plainfleld.
Former Councilman oliver B. Mer-
rill believed the annual payments as
asked by the city to be moderate
and declared that 1t is the duty of
council to be assured that the com
pany, If granted a franchise, will es-
tablish and maintain adequate and
reliable transportation service.

An Honest Druggist Often
Gives Good Advice

1t gives me great pleasure to take
this method Of thanking you for what
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root has done
for my wife and at the same time to
cheerfully recommend ii to all suffer-
ers from kidney trouble.
My wife had suffered terribly from
kidney disease and had tried all kinds
of patent medicines with no success,
until druggist recommended Swamp
Root. That brought the only relief she
has had in years, and she is now feel
ing better than she ever did before. I
believe this is due entirely to Swamp
Root and stand firm in my statement
when I say that Swamp Root is the
king of all kidney remedies. You have
my consent to publish this statement
at any time in the interest of hui
mainly. Yours very truly,
Y. b. TINGLE,
Tecumseh, Nebr.
Subscribed and sworn to before me,
this 4th day of December 1911.
C. E. SMITH, Notary Public.
This is to certify that f. 3. Tingle,
OF this city. has purchased Swamp
Root of us several times.

CONFIRM DAY AS
SUMMIT OFFICER
Council Makes Constable of
Unknowing Candidate, Who
Was Elected by Lone Vote.
Especial to the Newark star.I

SUMMIT, Feb. 1S.-Advised by City
Solicitor Cora N Williams that the
failure of William j. Adams to quail
caused vacancy, and that Common
Council had authority to fill such va
cancy, Elmer S. Day was last night
appointed to the position by Council.
AS has bene told Adams, who re-
ceived but one vote and who was not
a candidate for constable at the
last election, was declared legally
elected over Day, whose election was
declared void by the Union County

board in the First. ward while can
didate for the office of constable.

The County Board of Equalization
of Taxes, having decided against
the city in holding that the old Y,
NJ. C. A. property, at Springfield and
Highland avenues is exempt from
taxation, council decided not to make
an appeal to the State Board of
Equalization of Taxes. The county
board held that the Y. M. G. A. Is
a benevolent association and there
fore its property, though unoccupied,
is free from taxation.
In communication, Mayor Francis
Fl. Bergen announced that he had adj
vanced William George from o
| chanceman to be a regular paIro.man,
beginning February Is. The mayor
also submitted to the council a letter
which he had received from Health
Commissioner Park w. Page, in which
Mr.. Page, for the Health oBard, in
formed the mayor that the board
would be glad to occupy the old city
| hall. in accordance with the execu-
tive's suggestion, instead of renting
outside quarters, as at present. The
matter of having necessary alterations
made in the old building is IN the
hands of the fire and police commit
tee, A largely signed petition from
west Summit residents, asking that a
| franchise be granted for a trackless
| trolley, was read. William II. King
wrote the council requesting that
Grand Central avenue. now known as
Blackburn road, be repaired.
The ordinance relating to licensing
| theatrical and outdoor exhibitions
was amended TO provide for an annual
license fee of 500. and where the seat
ing capacity of theatre or hall is
more than 500 twenty-five cents addi-
tional will be the fee to be paid an
nually for each seat over 800.
The city clerk was directed to notify
the owners of the property at tht
southeast corner of Springfield avenue
and Beechwood road that unless th'
sidewalk along the property is re
paired at once the city will have thu
work done at the expense of the own
ers. Fifty dollars was appropriated
i to the use of the fire and police com
nittee for police equipment.
Joseph Mcclure driver of the Unioi
Hose Company and assistant janito
