.M[TUCHEN CAR
LINE TO END
bonneville Trolley Service in
Borough to Go--Permission
Given by State

TRENTON. April 1s-Approvsl
OF the application of the Public Ser
vice Railway Company to abandon
its tracks and service on Main street,
Metuchen. between Brenner's corner
and Amboy avenue was given today
By the Beard of Public Utility Com
m~issioners. At the same time the
board dismissed the application of
TIE borough of Metucher for APP
lrovai OF a discontinuance of a
transfer charge on this same line.
These two applications were made
TO the board at the same time. the
Public Service seeking TO abandon
lis tracks and the borough seeking
to have the transfer charse on this
line abandoned. They were also
heard together.
The testimony taken BY the board
at the several hearings disclosed that
the revenue obtained by the COM
pany from this line was very meagre
and not profitable. The board also
called attention to the vast amount
OF money it would take 10 improve
the tracks.
ITO rehabilitate the tracks and
roadbed or Main street would in
volve considerable expense" said the
board and from the testimony sub
mitted 1t as apparent to the board
that money would be spent for an
improvement on a line which is not
patronized 10 any extent by the pub
lie and which is a financial burden
upon the railway company"
A portion of the company's tracks
on Main street between Amboy ave-
and Middlesex avenue is paral-
leled by u bus line which operates
between Perth Amboy and New
Brunswick through Metuchen.
Therefore. II seems that the public
will not be Inconvenience by the
abandonment OF the company's SER
vice.
