The Philadelphia Press says: .There
is TO be new railroad from Easton 10
Philadelphia, and 1t is believed 1t will be
controlled by the Philadelphia and Read
ing. That company now operates line
from Philadelphia to Huntsville, In this
county, and is building an extension to
New Hope, In Bucks county. The new
road will be constructed by September /.
Last week it was reported that a corps of
surveyors was working towards Easton,
and within few days agents have passed
along the route they surveyed and secured
from property owners the amounts they
would sell their lands for In case the COM
pany waited right of way. In some in
stances the money was paid. The grade
of the road from Easton 10 New Hope is
easy, and the greater portion of the cost of
construction will be for digging away hill
sides. The Delaware River valley will be
followed To below Milford. The line
passes under the Lchigh Valley and the
Jersey Genital Roads at Easton. II is
built with tile idea Of giving the Philadel-
pbia and Reading direct connection with
the Delaware, Lackawanua and Western.
Whether this connection is secured by
bridging the Delaware ut Easton or con.
Meeting the Morris and Essex Railroad,
which joins the Lackawanna at Washing
ton, N. j., or the route will be continued
up the Delaware to near Portland, there
to meet the road, Is not determined.
