Philadelphia Feb. 90 CspeciaI).-The members Of
the Commerc al Exchange az a meeting to-day adopted
resolutions in favor Of the Reading Railroad Terminal
bill, and sent them to the subcommittee Of Select
Councils, which body this afternoon considered the
action Of the Exchange and heard speeches fayoring
the Terminal road by President Corbn and Vice
President Mcleod, Of the Reading: George Dc b. keim,
president Of the Reading Coal and Iron Company, and
Chief Engineer wilson, and representatives Of the
Commercial Exchange and the Board OF Trade.
message from Mayor Filter fayoring the bill was
read. The committee decided to present report 10
Councils within two weeks.
This afternoon a Reading official said that the com
pany had been put to so much expense and un-
necessary delay their proposed elevated railroad
by tho hardness OF Councils to act that they were
seriously thinking Of abandoning the project. @when
the plan was first broached,n he said, 4" II pro
posed 20 expoEd S7,oo0.oo0 the read. III IT'S
present shape, as amended by Councils, the plan
calls for expenditure estimated by the company at
SD, 1000, o0o and BY outsiders at from S1G,0o0,ooo
to s20,0OO,0O0.1
Another officer Of the company said The Reading
carries all the passengers there for Bethlehem
and other Lehigh Valley points, and 1t would not
gain a Jingle by the construction OF the elevated
road. It would probably save some Of its Schuyl
kill Valley travel that the Pennsylvania road IS
gradually drawing away and would cut larger figure
In the New-YOrk business The bulk Of the business
the station would attract to the line would be the
suburban Communication travel which is low-priced
business
A prominent railroad man, speaking on tho same
subject, said 81 learned from undcubted authority
that the Reading officials, In case their terminal
scheme falls through VIII run trains from NewYork
and up the Schuyldll Valley from the Baltimore and
Ohio station at Twenty fourth and Chestnut sts,
