FAST LINE TO OPEN IN APRIL

P.S.C. Announces That Work on Link Between Bonhamtown and Elizabeth is Being Rushed—Cars to Pass Through New Brunswick

According to announcement made this morning to the Home News at the Newark office of the Public Service Corporation, the express trolley line from Newark to Trenton, passing through the heart of New Brunswick, will be opened the latter part of April. The work on the spur from Bonhamtown to Elizabethport is now being rushed.

An inspection of the line was made yesterday by President McCarter, of the Public Service Corporation, and other high officials of the company, and all were pleased with the outlook. For a distance of about eight miles from Elizabeth the rails are already laid, and the route, which is over private property, has been graded as far as Bonhamtown. When the work on this spur is finished, New Brunswick will have direct trolley communication with Elizabeth. There will also be direct trolley service between Elizabeth and Perth Amboy. It is planned to arrange the schedule in such a way that the fast line trolley will meet the New Brunswick–Perth Amboy cars at Bonhamtown.

The distance between Bonhamtown and Elizabethport is approximately 12 miles.

The fast line trolleys are to run over the Trenton–New Brunswick fast line as far as Milltown Junction. From there the cars pass over the P.S.C. tracks through New Brunswick over the Albany Street bridge, Highland Park, Lindenau, Piscatawaytown and Bonhamtown, and then to Elizabethport to Elizabeth and Newark.

Among the officials who made the inspection yesterday were Thomas N. McCarter, president of the Public Service Transportation, and John J. Burleigh, vice president.
