. CITY RAILWAY MAT TIERS.


The Chester Trolley Extension-E Fare to be
Twenty Gents-cross Town Line.
The blizzard of last month cost the
Wilmington City Railway Co. an extra
outlay of several thousand dollars for
men and teams to remove the snow.
Bad weather has caused a delay of
more than month in the work on the
tracks of the trolley connecting link
between this city and Chester. When
the ground has become dry the ballast
ing of the road will Ee pushed. Stone
for that purpose is being quarried at
Gordon Heights.
General Manager Robert It. Fox, in
speaking of the connecting link this
morning, said that it would possibly
be in running order about April LIST.
The fare for the trip from Wilmington
to Chester will probably be 20 cents,
divided as follows: Wilmington to Cor
don Heights, 5 cents; thence to Clay
mont, 5; thence to the Chester line, 3,
and thence into Chester, 5. The fare
from Chester to Philadelphia is 10
cents, so that it would cost So cents for
the ride from here to Philadelphia. 1t
will take about one hour to Chester
and two hours and Is minutes into
Philadelphia. The trolley road is
scarcely likely to compete much with
through traffic on the steam roads.
In the coming season the Wilmington
City Railway Co. will expend CON
siderable sum of money on track i'm
provement.
The question of cross town line,
which was advocated some time ago by
the Board of Trade, is still under con.
sideration by the city railway people.

STREET AND SEWER WORK.
Interesting Information From the Annual
Report of Secretary Wiley of the Street
and sewer Department,

Interesting Information From the annual
Report of Secretary Wiley of the Street
and sewer Department.
Harvey ]. Wiley, secretary of tho
Street and Sewer Department, in his
report for the year 1898, gives some in
teresting data. He states that in tho
year 1880 King George Ii of England
granted Wilmington it's first charter,
the town at that time having popula-
tion of about GOO. The population and
wealth increased eneouragingly until
1909, when the town was chartered by
the State Legislature, being then styled
a borough, and incorporated as . city
in 1882, the population then being
1000. From that time until the present
the growth of Wilmington, while not
phenomenal, has been steady, and now
u Twentieth Century city of over 10000
inhabitants and real estate Of greater
value than $50, 900, 600, viewed from a
commercial standpoint, is awakening
to a full sense of appreciation of its
Importance, taking proper advantage
of its opportunities for commercial OK
pansion and the consequent wealth to
the citizens and making such improve
ments as are in keeping with the pro-
gressiye spirit which is being mani
tested on all sides. These conditions
make it desirable, not only rs sani-
tary measure, but also from the advan-
tage to be derived, to complete the
most excellent system of drainage and
paving and improving of the highways.
The Street and Sewer Department was
created by the Legislature in 1887, and
given full control OF the streets and
sewers of the city. Subsequently the
Legislature made provision for improve
ments by authorizing the Council to
issue bonds from time to time, for the
money necessary to pave the streets,
build sewers and the abolition of grade
railroad crossings. The Board of Di-
rectors have been, from the beginning
of these improvements, confronted with
q condition unenviable, one of great
responsibility TO people with a city
the streets OF which in 1887 were prac-
tically unpaved and with 1900 tami
| lies elamoring, individually, in Gereat
measure, that their particular streets
be paved from the first instalment OF
money provided for street improve
ment. These moneys, now exhausted,
have been, undoubtedly, iudiciously
and satisfactorily expended in the
direction of the city's most urgent
needs and to its advantage, having
been sufficient to pave nearly one hall
of the mileage of the streets.
The work should not be abandoned
as it would not appear fair to the in
terests of the people on the line o.
streets not improved, inasmuch tina
they are bearing their share of the cos
of improvements Just completed, with
out enjoying any direct benefit, to So,
nothing of the incalculable injury Il
the excellent sanitary condition ant
the inevitable check to building opera
tions of comparatively vast proportions

for the construction of new sewers in ;
