JUNCTION R. R. RESULTS
Manufacturing Boom on the
Meadows Looked for
Street Opening
Effects.

Property owners north Of Varick street
are somewhat exercised over the new act
Of the Legistnre. which permits the juno
ton railroad to go under the trestle OF
the Pennsylvania near the point of rocks,
and to close up Railroad avenue and de-
press Wayne and Mercer streets in order
to extend branch through the city and
connect with the lines of the Reading and
BaltimoreS1O ohio systems. Railroad avenue
does not ruu through to tbs hill line, IL
stops at the foot. Wayne street, however,
by slight turn, connects with Academy
street and affords an outlet from the
Hill Mercer street. which is being rap
idly filled in and built upon, stops at the
base of the Hill. but if the bill authorizing
the opening of streets for one thonsandfeet
had become law, the property owners
intended petitioninG the Street and
Water Board to open the street direct to
the Hill. Henry Byrne and other pro-
party owners, and several manufacturing
concerns were behind this project. The
enterprise could be colossal in point of
filling in aud grading, but there was
nothing impossible about 1t. But when
the new railway crossing is made, there
will be some doubt as to whether n
feasible grade can be secured.
The junction Railroad Is an ally of the

branch. (the freight branch) of the New
York Central. How, the other side OF
the issue comes in. Many property
owners hail the construction of the new
line with satisfaction. They see In it
new freight facilities, and competition
rates, and there are those who prophesy
that year after the line Is opened. the
entire meadow property from the canal
to the Erie tracks will be thickly covered
with factories OF all descriptions, rece1v-
ing their raw material and shipping their
products by the new line. The meadow
land Is CT no value whatever for resi-
Dental purposes. 1t is doubtful il it
would pay at present to erect even the
cheapest class OF tenement houses upon
it. The hope of the owners is to see it
covered with big industries, reached by
spur tracks. such as are so common in
Newark. These, it Is believed, will. in
turn build up the adjoining tracts or
firner ground with fats and tenement
houses. and bring great population TO
the city living upon its internal indus
tries.
