Joseph W. Smith, of this city, on April 9th ::
BALTIMORE April 8, 1892.
DEAR SIR Replying TO yours of I'd inst, would
state that the bids for Westminster Station were
closed about two weeks since but as yet no award
of the work has been made.
We made careful inquiry OF well posted people in
Westminster and along the line of the road as to
whether there were any desirable parties to INVITE
proposals of, and were informed that MI VOL, OF
Union Bridge was the only one that could be re-
commended for this particular job, consequently We
asked u bid of him. also from the Baltimore parties
who have been found to be the lowest bidders on
work previously done by the company.
Since the bids closed have had these parties fig
uring upon various reyisions with view TO keeping
the cost within reasonable bounds so that it would
be a little difficult now to open up the subject with
new parties and am satisfied no responsible per-
son would undertake to do a good job upon more
favorable terms than have already been offered.

AS Intermittent heHters, where heat

For offices and stores, when the

For spling and autumn use, when

are comfortable and economical.
As fires that can be started in min

The City Railway tracks on Della
ware avenue are getting terribly out
ot order, and 1t is with considerable
risk that the cars can be run at the
full echOdule speed. There is a
place In front OF the Wilmington City
Electric Railway Company's office
where the cars often run OFF the tracks
and the time OF running the cars is
much dlsarranged by tho time con-
sumed In getting the cars on again.
Often the ours get to rocking and, the
notorman has to bring them almost
to halt to steady them.
The company would have had Its
tracks repaired before this time had
the Street and Sewer commissioners
been ready to pave the street. Della
ware avenue is the finest avenue in
the city and it ought to be kept in bet
ter order.
