FREIGHT LINE TO PASS THROUGH RIVA AVENUE?

MILLTOWN, April 9. — Surveyors were at work in North Milltown yesterday preparing a new route for the proposed freight line which originally was intended to cross South Millstone. It has been reported that trouble is being experienced in securing the desired land in other sections of the town, therefore, the line will branch off in a northerly direction before coming into Milltown, which according to yesterday’s survey would bring it near Riva Avenue, passing through the residential section.
