y number OF capitalists from down
in the valley who are interested in the
project of putting railroad line up
the Susquehanna valley, from P1ttston
to Waverly, to compete with the Lee
high Valley road, met with some of the
moneyed men of this section at Wallis
hotel Saturday and held a consultation.
They were very reticent and would
have nothing to say for publication,
but it. is understood that the Central
Railroad of New Jersey Is backing up
the scheme, and that vigorous effort
to push it through will be made. 1t is
desired to interest as many people
along the route in the matter as posi-
BILE, for obvious reasons. The line, If
built, will probably pass up the oppo-
site side of the river and is probably
only step taken by the Jersey Central
to push clear into Buffalo.
