PLAN NEW BUS U
Alderman AtwelI Wants 10 Establish
Line from TOttenviIIe TO Port
Richmond.

~
TOTTENVILLE, Feb. ~. 1870 Alder
man Edward J. Atwell. representing
this end of the island is working out
a plan for auto bus connections with
Port Richmond and Tottenville. This
plan is for giving service to the peo-
pie in the central section OF Staten
Island that has never been reached
by trolley or any other public con-
veyance. The tentative plan Is for a
direct route from Port Richmond to
ITottenville through the towns of
Graniteville, Bulls Head, New Spring
Vile, over Fresh Kill bridge, and
down Amboy road to Tottenville. AL
derman Atwell proposes to take up
the matter with Borough President
Van Name and Deputy Commissioner
of Plants and Structures Mills for the
borough of Richmond.
Should the route be adopted the
time between the two points would
be considerably lessened it is believed
and would open up communication
for shoppers to both ways on the
north and south side of the island.
People who now want to reach Port
Richmond from Tottenville must first
travel to st. George and from there
they are obliged to travel either by
trolley or train to Port Richmond
making a round about way.
