What Is TranspirinE In the Pretty Town
On the Delaware.
Correspondence of the Republican.
NV CASTLE. Feb. 10
On Saturday evening your CORE
spondent was accosted by City Coun-
Gilman Etchels who asked me to state
his positlon in regard to the raising
OF the high bridge. In the time OF the
old council commun cation was re-
celved from the railroad company,
asking for permission to false the
bridge. The request was refused.
After the election last April another
communication was received and
Messrs Conway and Etchels by ap-
7 polntment met Mr.. Holiday.
/ He agreed 10 makea telford road as
the approach on both sides OF the
bridge. He agreed to go far enough
iback so that the grade would be liaht
/ and then to put in water courses along
the roads SO That the water would not
: go on any OF the property In the neigh
I horhood. The draught would he then
+ far less than It Is at the present. The
, prime object for raising the bridge is
! the protection to human life. Several
tnen have been killed at this bridge.
AT the time It was built the cars run
, ming on the road were not near so
high as some OF tho oars which are
now running. therefore you see, said
: Mr.. Etchels, we are accountable for
any lives which may be lost at the
bridge.
Mr.. Holiday also agreed to put
crossing Mt Tenth street. City Council
was to oversee the laying of the tel
. ford road. and IL would have been Il
4 grand opportunity to add little to
: the approach and fill up the mud pud-
yldles near Finnegans And ii the city
liked the road Mr.. Holiday agreed
that the hauling OF the mater ial would
ibe very reasonable should tho city de-
termina to leltord any Of the city SITS.
Property holders were In favor OF the
change first but changed their minds
and SO did the other City Council
| man and the request was again re.
. fused. Now suppose we refuse to
grant the privilege, why the rumor Is
= that the company will put an arch In
the bridge and that will make it
worse.
: IN conversation with some persons
who are disiEterested in the affair and
Q who know what they are talking about,
1t was stated that the best way to do
. is for tho railroad to remove tho pres.

be any higher.
r At the present time. when tho cry OF
> hard times is coming from every
I quarter and when dullnesS Ii existing
IN the woolen mills Of Delaware, II
suggest the idea to the Jail Commits
sioners to give an order To one of the
wooden mills-New Castle preferre1-
am. have all the material manufac
tured which is used in making the
! suits for The prisoners.
Then there could he procured q
tailor in New Castle who would do the
cutting out, and there are lots OF girls
/. ana women with their sewing ma
chimes who can make them as well as
. they are made by the women in the
sweat rooms Of the New York flats

and yet favor the outlay OF public
money in manLer which will be of
the greatest benefit to the people who
pay the taxes.
Some one will ask but how about
tho cost" Why tho suits can be made
In the manner | state above Tor less
money than they cost at the present
time.

jail said with all sincerity hold a
consultation over the matter above re-
Tered to and 40 ahead and give work
