Some Queries suggested by the Overhead
Crossing Cianse Added to the w. y NJ O.
Electric Hallway Charter.
Editor Gazette &c Jou,Wdi: Why not compel
the Delaware Railroad Company to elevate
their tracks through New Castle?
Therailroad company has notified the City
Council thnt they desire to raise tho over
head bridge Oh the New Castle and Frcnch-
town turnpike four feet or remove it
altogether and make another grade cross
ing, Why not compel said company to
elevate their tracks through this city so as
to rid lis Of their death traps at the dan
gerous grade crossings? Why are we not
entitled to the same protection from them
as they are ASKING the General Assembly
for the people who will ride on the vii.
mington Il New Castle Electric Railway?
How absurd To entertain such u ridiculous
amendment as is nov attached to SAID
charter of said company. The people
thoroughly understand the meaning OF
this move, and are watching the move
ments OF the members of the General AS
sembly who are backing up such an out
rageous scheme to block the wishes Of the
people Of this city and the State, who sent
them there to legislate Tor the whole peo-
pie and not for the Pennsylvania Railroad
| Company.
The people of this city are surprised TO
| think that Gentlemun like senator VIII
lianis, who has had such wide scope of
| Congressional experience would allow
| himself to be hoodwinked in this manner,
| under the gllise of dangerous grade cross
| iugs, when ever sChOulboy knows that the
| dangerous crossings movements are for the
| benefit of the Pennsylvania railroad Com
| pany. We hope the Senator will realize
that fact before Tuesday next and give our
| people their charter and then pass gen,
eral grade crossing law, and not compel
this company to bridge over all railroad
crossings and let the rest 81 Scott free
