TAKING UP A CAR TRACK.
Scranton Railway Company Prepar-
ing for Laying the Pave.


The Scranton Railway company is
getting its Mulberry street tracks in
shape to permit the laying of the as
phalt pave on that street. A force of
men was engaged yesterday tearing
up one of the tracks on that street
between Penn and Franklin avenues.
The other track will be moved to the
center of the street. One or the tracks
between Penn and Wyoming avenue
was removed some time ago.
At the Penn avenue intersec-
tion there is now double
frog although a car has not
been run over it for more than two
years. This Is to be taken out and re-
placed by a single crossover which
will be an improvement much appre-

over that portion of Penn avenue. If
council passes the T rail resolution
Thursday that kind of track will be
laid.
On Mulberry street east and west of
Washington avenue, workmen were
yesterday engaged In relaying a por-
