Another effort is to be made by
the freeholders to compel the Penn

over their branch line running from
Monmouth Junction to Jamesburg.
The present bridge is so narrow
that it is available for one-way
traffic only and on account of the
steep approaches is considered to
be dangerous. Over a year ago
this matter was taken up by the
freeholders. though up to the pres

done nothing in the matter. The
