To AGREE

Deadlock on Permanent Pave.

SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. S,-Friday
night in executive session, the Com
mon Council held a conference with
the representatives of the Public Ser
vice Railway Company, Jersey Cen
trail Traction Company, State Highway
Commission and Board Of Freehold
ers. The purpose of the meeting was
to s%traighten out the difficulty of re-
laying the racks on Bordentown av-
Ienue previous to h putting down of
permanent pavement.
The conference resulted in a dead
lock as no party would yield one point.
At the present time the two trolley
companies operate separate sets of
rails OIL Bordentown avenue. Before
the permanent pavement is laid it Is
hoped to have both companies run on
the one track. Both trolley compan-
les have franchises hat read that
their tracks shall occupy the middle
of the street.
The Public Service Company, which
was represented by Col. Gilmore, re-
'quested permission to abandon their
tracks north of Broadway, and to
place a Y at the corne of Borden
town avenue and Broadway and make
this their terminal. The Jersey Gem
trail Company then promised to take
over the Public Service tracks from
Stevens to Pine n on~this street
and IL their cars down Pine avenue,
by Bay View Manor and then to Nor
gan instead of going down Feltus
street as at the present time. This,
in the opinion of the councilmen,
would not be a wise move as 1t would
greatly affect the transportation facili-
ties OF the people living in Maxville.
The conference adjourned subject to
the call of the Council. The matter
probably will be taken up at the meet
ing of the Council tomorrow night.
