such modification 10 provide that the
rights granted 20 the said Railway COM
pany by said contract, as extended by sald
resolution, shall be confirmed as TO the
following tracks the construction OF which
has been completed at the date hereof.
namely: The tracks crossing Huguenot
Avenue, Seguine Avenue and over Amboy
Road, approximately LOO feet west OF
Huguenot Avenue; and that the rights TO
construct. maintain and operate second
tracks across Bay View, Nance, WoodNall
and Sharrot Avenues and Amooy Road
near Pleasant Plains station. shall cease
and determine without prejudice 10 any
future application for the granting OF such
rights, and that the Railway COMPANY
shall not be required 10 make any further
payments for the privilege OF constructing
and maintaining tracks across said i've
last named streets under said contract but
shall continue to pay the city the sum
fixed by said contract for said three cross
ings which have been completed as here
insbove stated. namely. the sum OF 800
per snnum for each OF said crossings 50
completed.
The reason for this application is that
the Railway Company has for the time
being abandoned its purpose OF completing
the construction OF double track upon
that portion OF it's line which crosses the
i've streets last above referred to because
its operation does not now require such
double tracking and because OF the fact
that the Railway Company has been ad-
ysed that Il is contemplated by the Public
Service Commission that II may require
the elimination Of existing grade crossings
thereon, and the Railway Company desires
to avoid the additional expense OF con-
structing such additional tracks until the
time when such eliminatlons and the nee
essary condition thereof and the changes
ana adjustments In its line incidental
thereto may be determined upon.
