ing's bridge and Woodfords, is beyond
any discussion.
Every body is taking about 1t and oil
want it, and the railroad people are as
eager for it as the patrons. The waits
ON the turnouts are tiresome and quick
or time between the centres of the two
cities is demanded.
OF course Mr.. j. S. Rioker's appeal to
the Supreme court from the decision of
the county commissioners, as to the
land damages awarded him, has delay cd
the widening of the avenue till at least
next September, and probably longer
But it is possible that the double tracks
may be laid befo re then. Manager Now
man has bad talk with tho county COM
missioners in regard to this matter. The
rails are all bought and piled up near
the power house at Deering Point
The idea is as follows: The old track
will be kept where it is and the second
track laid on the east side of the avenue
at the same grade and in the same To-
cation that one of the double tracks will
occupy when the avenue is widened.
Whom that desirable event occurs, it will
only DO necessary to move the old track
over side the new one.
1t is very possible that before the snow
flies there will be double track to
| Woodfofds. The increasing demands of
the passenger track, due to the extension
to Pride's bridge end the summer attrao-
tions there, will make the double track
almost imperative.
