The Peach Bottom Extension.

The Delta Herald urges the immediate
completion Of the York and Peach Bottom
Railway from Delta to Peach Bottom-a dis
lance of only four or five miles 1t gives as
reason the probability that The Baltimore
and Delta Railroad will be DETECTED at Bel
Air and run to the Susquehanna river, under
the newly-acquired charter ofthe Deer Creek
Railroad Company, and says
"Bel Air needs river connection, and the
question to be settled is, shall it be from that
town directly eastward to the river, or by
way of Delta through to Peach Bottom -
Either route would give to Bel Air cheaper
supply of coal, lumber, etc than it has had
heretofore. If cheapness of construction is
to he made consideration then the one hy
Delta must have preference. The right of
way is secured and the bed graded nearly the
entire distance When the Baltimore and
Delta is completed to this place $50 900 will
complete an outlet to the river. instead of
$4OO,O as by the other proposed route. A
bridge will then give n through connection
to Philadelphia Further, if the proposed
new road should be built, it is quite improba.
BILE that the portion of The Baltimore and
Delta Railway between this place and Bel
Air will be built"
