There is a revival of the talk OF the
Pennsylvania railroad building an extern
sion to Doylestown, where, 1t Is said, the
Lehigh Valley road will connect with 1t
by a branch running down from Free
mansburg. This may be mere newspaper
talk, but It is not at all unlikely that with
the return of prosperous times the Penn
sylvasia viii take up The Doylestown
branch project. The survey has been
made aud nothing remains to do but to
build The road. 1t seems altogether un-
likely that the Pennsylvania company
would allow their Chestnut Hill extension
to the Trenton Cut off to end where 1t
does now-withid half mile OF Fort
Washington and two mites OF Amber,
when by the expenditure ora few thous-
and dollsrs large passenger and freight
traffic could be scured that now goes to a
rival corporation. Amber Gazette.
