EXTENSION OFTROLLEY ROAD

Traction Tracks May Cometo Front Street.

Special Meeting of CouncilCalled for This Eveningto Consider a PropositionFrom the Company.

Through the intercession of the trolloyand railroad committee of the Board of

Trade, the differences which have exist-

ed for more than a year past betweenthe borough council and the LehighTraction Company are likely to be ad-

justed in a manner satisfactory to allthe interested parties. This is the viewtaken on the subject by members of the

committee since the conference held

on Wednesday afternoon with oftieials ofthe trolley line.

It is understood that the tractionpeople are satisfied to extend their roadinside the borough limits again and to

lay their tracks and run cars to thecorner of Centre and Front streets,

which is two blocks beyond their formerterminal.

In return for the expense and outlaymade necessary by this extension, theborough council will bo asked to guar-antee the road certain privileges for a

term of years, the nature of which, it isexpected, will be made known at thespecial meeting which has been calledfor this evening.

In the absence of an official proposi-tion from the company, the members ofcouncil who have been spoken to on thesubject by representatives of the Tri-bune did not seem disposed to committhemselves in favor or against the pro-posed extension.

There is a feeling, however, that thequestion Is now on its way to settlement,and that, an arrangement which will be

of mutual benefit to the town and com-pany will result from the negotiationswhich the Board of Trade have begun.

The special meeting of council will beheld at 7.30 o'clock this evening.
