QUESTION Was SETTLED
West Eighth Avenue Car Line Discon-
tinued by p. u. G.

The question of whether the West
Eighth avenue street car line had
been permanently or temporarily
abandoned was thrashed out in the
hearing before the public utilities COM
mission, months ago, Clyde NJ. Reed,
chairman of the commission, stated
this morning, and the decision was
that operation of the line should be
permanently discontinued.
The statement from Reed came in
the course of comment on a statement
from Albert Patten, general manager
Of the street railways company, that
the officers of the company @ould
have to decide whether the abandon
ment is temporary or permanent.
Reed also stated that the matter
of compelling the company to remove
its rails and relay the pavement on
West Eighth avenue, is solely under
the Jurisdiction of the city officials.
