ROUTE OF THE W. & B. S.
SOME POINTS REGARDING ITS CHAR
TER AND SUPPLEMENTS.

THE OLD COMPANY PERFECTLY
WILLING 70 ENTER INTO A FAIR
AND LIBERAL TRAFFIC AGREE
MENT WITH THE SUBURBAN
COMPANIES.
The forces antagonizing the Will
mington and Brandywine Springs
Railway Company in its efforts to Sc
cure a foothold in this city seem to
multiply with amazing rapidity, and
there is every indication that the
Board Of Directors of the Street and
Sewer Department will refuse to give
it the use OF the bed of Sixth street,
Even If it got Il, It would have a big
fight in the courts, and the expenses at
tending such a fight would be consid.
erable.
The principal point made against the
new company by the Wilmington City
Railway Company is that under It's
first charter it was compelled to build
a road from Brandywine Springs to the
city line at Union street. If the old
company's line was not constructed out
to that point l,he new company had the
right to go on up Union street until it
met Jhe old company. Later on a bill
was passed by the Legislature supple
menting this charter, but this supple
ment merely extended the time for
building the road. Then there was an
ether supplement passed to that act
which allowed it to build to and along
Greenhill avenue to Sixth street, and
in Sixth street to French to Fourth.
Then there was another supplement
passed to the supplement- to the orlgi-
nal act. It referred to both previous
acts, and under the provisions Of that
II is held that the new company would
be compelled to build its line under the
first act from Brandywine Springs tc
Union street, and then to GreenhilI
avenue and on in Sixth street, which is
a practical impossibilfty. 1t is con-
tended that the promoters of the new
road should follow the lines prescribed
lby their charter. and thereby give evil
dence Of their good faith by beginning
the work of construction at Brandy
wine Springs and building in to th'
city line. The object Of that provision
was to prevent those into whose hands
the charter might fall from simpl,
building the city end and availint
themselves of the city traffic
The old company, while opposed 4
tbe new company coming into the city
has expressed a willingness right alonl
to meet any and all roads at the cit!
line and make fair and liberal tratfi
arrangement with them. AS far as car
be learned 1t is still willing TO do tna7
It has put itself on record ana cahho
