in the borough but it was necessary
to build other tracks and the line
was extended to Red Bank and At
lantic Highlands as well as to Perth
Amboy and Matawan and Freehold
The system has not been a paying
proposition and for this reason alone
the Public Utility Commission has
allowed the abandonment The one
employee who finished his work with
the company and who had been in
its employ as motorman since it be-
gan operation here is Jesse Aumack
Mr.. Aumack has been a most faith
full employee.
The trolley service will be sue
ceeded by a bus service. which al
though new here is expected to take
good care of the travelling public.

run. a route from Walnut street to
Freneau; the Frisanti Company
from Keyport to Freehold; the Lit
tell Company of K~eansburg, from

Keyport and directly to Newark,
and the Doukas company OF South

Definite routes and stopping points
will be decided upon a little later

and subject to the findings of the
