used by the r., w. & B. Company, put
In first clsss order; aud have repaired
and built several bridges. The main
officially will srise after leaving Thur
low, as from that point they will have
" construct an entire new road, and
there appears to be feeling among the
owners Of property all along the pro-
posed route hostile 10 the company. If
the river route Is adopted twill cut
through the country seat OF J. Dundas
Lippihcott, Of Philadelphia, at Bellevue,
and also the farm Of f. Frank Ford at
Claymont. 1t will rGn through row
OF houses at Marcus Hook, and pass
about 800 yards from the Lindenthorpe
Club House. The probability IS that
the route on the upper level will be
adopted, as the land damages by
running II through Claymont will be so
heavy that II will be cheaper to use the
upper level, even with more grading
than the lower oDe, and besides the far.
mers would mostly give the right OF way
freely, whereas the Claymont cottagers
will insist upon being paid the full
value OF the damages to their proper
ties.-Chester ketos.
