committee reported progress the president then invited a general dlschssion of the trolley question alb ert msiuck of centre square strongly urged consideration of the route via blue bell and centre 8quarens the one most likely to pay it would pass through thriving villages and thickly populated districts he thought there would be little difficulty in securing the right of way and a goodly amount of stock he was willing to contribute to the extent of his ability he thought 25,000 or more could easily be raised in his vicinity supervisor murpliv thought a franchise could be easily obtained dr 8 c seiple advocated the centre square route it would be a boom for the villages of broad axe blue bell and centre square h<s was once opposed to the trolley but he has changed his views the line would mean much to ambler for it would attract much travel that now goes in other directions george hoover of blue bell favored the trolley and believed there would be little difficulty in securing the right of way over the centre square route joseph t foulke esq said the su premo court had definitely settled the fact that it was necessary to secure the right of way and that the consent of the township authorities must be obtained george g hoover said before he signed he wanted to know whether the ropd was to be built along the side or in the centre of the road what kind of rails would be used etc mr v merrill thought the proposed route had special advantages over the lirst one proposed mr fasset conard said mr merrill voiced his sentiments mr hoover said the trolley would bring people to ambler on their way to philadelphia instead of going by way of belfry and lansdale on motion of henry dannehower-a committee consisting of messrs albeit mauck b l murphy and j ti dnnne hower were appointed to secure the right of way between broad axe and norris town via blue bell and centre square on motion of dr seiple the solicitor was instructed to insert in the release a clause setting forth the style of crossing to be used at the entrance to properties another trolley meeting will be held in the uazkttk hall next monday even ing when the committees will report on the progress made let there bs a full turnout from all along the two routes one of the strong points urged by the citizens cf blue bell and cent-re square in favor of running the line that way is the matter of mail accommodations for several years past the people of those two villages have complained of the lack af sufficient mail facilities at present they have two inward and two outward mails daily with trolley connections the mails would be more frequent and ex peditious besides the carrying of the mail could be done with a profit to the trolley company under the present arrangement the carrying of the mail be tween ambler and blue bell costs the government 350 a year and the service between centre square and belfry costs 186 store both of these routes could be operated by trolley the centre
