Probability That Railway viii be Butt
Between the Two Places.

Probability That halfway viii be Butt
between the Two Places.
The project to establish an electric
railway between this city and West
Chester is not dead, In fact, some
thing tangible may be developed before
the next summer has passed. The
matter was brought up at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, when a bill
was introduced and was passed by the
Senate to incorporate the Wilmington
y West Chester Electric Railway CO.
The bill was not acted upon by the
House and consequently the company
was not incorporated. The names men
toned in the proposed act were Isaac
n. Grubb, William Bright, Patrick
Fahey, Walter II. Hayes. Hubert Cas-
sidy, Marshal Way, Thomas McHugh,
Charles NJ. Townsend, William II.
Burnett j. Harvey Day. Thomas We'll
don and John L. Dickey. lThe object
and purpose Of the corporation was to
construct and operate Il railway from
tho city of Wilmington and in the
direction of West Chester as far as the
Pennsylvania boundary line.
But although that bill failed to be.
come law the project was not killed.
1t is understood that the charter of
tho Gordon Heights Railway Go. will
allow it to build to the State limo, and
that the charter Of the Wilmington
City Railway Co, will allow it to build
six miles from tho city line Upon
either charter, therefore, the Delaware
part OF the route might be constructed.
1t is l6 miles from West Chester to
Wilmington, whereas it is about 20
niles from West Chester to PhiIadel-
phia. With good electric line this
city would bo more convenient TO the
Pennsylvania borough. West Chester
people are undcrstood to be willing to
build to the Delaware line, which is
more than half of the distance.
Such railway would be good thing
for the Lomhardy cemetery, which Is
about two miles from Wilmington on
tho Concord pike. Although it is not
as close to the city as either of the
other large cemeteries, many people
have taken lots in it. In case an elcc.
tric railway was constructed IN tho
turnpike it would be boon for lot
holders.
A business man who is Interested in
the project for railway declared on
Saturday that it WAS bound To come.
