The construction Of the Washington and
Western branch Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, which terminates at the Aqueduct
bridge. has not been doomed. according to
Baltimore and Ohio official. but merely
delayed. The ties. rails. etc. are being
taken away from the available lots around
the Aqueduct simply because they are need
ed at once on the main line. 1t would be
unwise in any corporation to begin anew
the building of an expensive work at this
time, when ready money Is SD scarce When
the money market assumes normal proper
charter are secured the construction will
be pushed with unremittfng vigor.
