START PLAN TO RUN RlRITlN
RIVER TRAINS TO THIS CITY
CONTINUED from page 1.)
next Tuesday night.

next Tuesday night.
The following communication has
been sent to the different powder
plants touched by the Raritan River
trains, containing O suggestion of the
service of the road being extended to
this city and letters endorsing the
movement have been received from
]. $. Shaw. of the Hercules Powder
Company. George Albrow of the Du
Pont Company, the superintendent of
the Evans Construction Company and
the superintendent of the T. A. Giles
pie Company, all situated along the
r. r. II. r. at and near Parlin.
A Suggestion.
In Re Raritan Railroad.
Now that the United States Gov
ernment has taken over the snpervis-
ion of the railroads, would suggest
that a petition be circulated, and for
warded to the proper authorities, with
request that the Raritan River ra.il-
road continue its passenger trains
from South Anlboy to Perth Amboy, by
running same across the Raritan riy-
er bridge. thereby making Perth AM
boy its last stop. There arc various
good and substantial reasons why this
request should be granted, some Of
which are as follows, and probably you
than you have in mind:
For the accommodation of the
many thousands of employees of the
various plants en- route, residents or
Perth Anlboy. making daily trips
back and fourth; that more north and
south bound Pennsylvania and Cen
trail Railroad trains stop at Perth Am
boy than at South Amboy, thereby fav-
oring commuters with better serv ice;
that the Schedule of the Raritan River
Railroc q, which consists of eleven
trains daily, does not in any way in
terfere with the schedule of the Penn
sylvania or Central railroads at these
points; that there are ample sidings
at Perth Amboy to enable this sugges-
ton being carried out without any ad-
ditional outlay or expense; that the
time consumed by any railroad from
South Amboy to Perth Amboy would
not be over five minutes runnink time,
whereby under the present conditions
a passenger of the Raritan River Rail-
road in order to reach his home in
Perth Amboy, is obliged to transfer at
Stevens avenue, one of its stop sta
tions. to the surface cars, In all sorts
of weather, without any shelter, ana
resort to all sorts of inconveniences,
and loss of time in making connec-
tions ranging from ten minutes to one
hour.
Would ask your opinion.
Respectfully submitted.
