MILLTOWN, Jan. 14.—What is considered a creditable victory for the Milltown Borough Council and the Home News is the fact that the action taken at the last regular meeting of the Milltown body, led to a most favorable report being made by the mayor last evening, at the regular monthly session of the Milltown officials, and that is to the effect that beginning today the Public Service Railway Company would put on more cars, especially during the rush hours, and take up the matter of street corner stops instead of midway and unhandy stations as at present.
This news will not only be welcome to the residents of the hustling borough whose officials took the initiative step to remedy a great inconvenience, but to the residents of other similar suffering municipalities along the line of the Public Service Railway Company.
Lawyer Weigel had conferred with the attorneys of South River and Sayreville with a view of taking the matter up with the Public Utility Commission, but if the additional cars bring about the desired results this step will not be taken. There was a complaint entered against the crowded condition and uncleanliness of the cars at times as well as the running schedule.
South River Trust Company Favored
From the fact that there are more local people interested in the South River Trust Company than any other bank in this vicinity, the matter of placing, at least, a part of the borough’s money with this institution was brought up at last night’s meeting, and was favorably acted upon by the local officials who are always on the outlook for the interests of their fellow townsmen. The matter was left in the hands of the finance committee to consult with the collector and with power to dispose of the matter in the most satisfactory manner.
