The Old Railway CRmpany Does Not
Want Rival Company.
The stockholders of the Wilmington
City Passenger Railway Company held
meeting on Saturday afternoon, to discuss
the Eighth street railway project. Inc
company desire to build THIS
road and appointed George w.
Bush and Daniel w. Taylor,
committee to solicit stock for the pro
posed road. The intention is that the
road be run by electricity and connect
with the old road at Eighth and Market
streets and run out Eighth street to
Union. If livestock is subscribed action
will be taken Immediately Another
meeting, of the stockholders will be held
on March IS, when further action will be
taken.
AS may be noticed the success of thi
latter project depends npon the amount
of stock subscribed. 1t is evident that
the old company does not desire rival in
its territory, and consequently is opposed
to outsiders building the Eighth street
railway.
Il am opposed to the granting of a
charter to these people to build the pro-
posed road, said stakeholder of the
Wilmington City Passenger Railway
Company this morning
On the other hand the projectors of the
new line do not look very favorably on
any action that may be taken by the old
company.
One of them said this morning: ga
majority of those who want line out
Eighth street are willing that the old
company shall build the road, but they
will not subscribe for any stock under
those circumstances The nroiecfors of
the Eighth street line will subscribe lib
orally for the new company but will not
help the old company. If our act of in
corporation goes through the Legislature
we will begin right away.
Both sides agree that the road should
be built. who will build it is not yet
