New CASTLE. Feb. 81.
superintendent Holiday and Nessrs.
BOOK and Allen were here yesterday,
Inspecting the high bridge. The
bridge is something which will be an
issue at thB spring elsction and ut
elections for years to como. New
Castle, said property holder yester-
day. has no more money than 1t wants
and where will the money come from
to reimburse the owner where the
water will damage his property.
should that bridge be raised. just
look last summer how they tried 10
keep the people OF the battery.
The river front along the railroad
property 10 a disgrace TO the city and
u hindrance to any one from coming
here. We oil believe in humanity and
IN the RAILROAD pays taxes here, 1t ID
| because 1t Eas got an unusai amount
OF privileges. Why. it cares so much
for the acromm odation OF the New
Castle people that 1t runs its train to
the Bear station with one man. while
fifty are compelled to walk from the
station here, no matter what kind OF
weather there is. and still that train is
called "a he New Castle Accommodu-
Itlon
| believe that the bridge should not
be allowedIto be raised because the
People in that neighDorhood who own
property object TO 1t going any highe
If 1t is raised the property will he de-
ipreciatsd ih value and the railroad
will think more OF one man ut the
Bear OF State Road than OF fifty at
New Castle and will cater to his wants.
II the bridge Is raised the grade will
be raised, and Tenth street crossing
will be oh grade Will they put
watehnan there? No. sir; the railroad
has written 10 city council. ''You can
fence Tenth street In, because you
have Ninth street and high bridge to
travel by and you do not want to use
Tenth street.
For the safety of tine people of this
city MAINTAIN that II Tenth street is "a
grade crossing make the road put a
lwatchman there. A single life is
Idearer than all the wealth of the rail-
road.
